Our visit to Santa

Caden's school had a party this morning - we did lots of fun activities including seeing SANTA!

Caden didn't just sit on the "big guy's" lap - they CUDDLED - I was a crack up!

An exciting visitor (or 2) and Turkey Day

We had such a great surprise from our

FAVORITE friend Kelly who came to town

to visit for the week and drove all the way

over to see us for the afternoon. It was a nice relaxing

(I hope not boring for Kelly) afternoon.

She even brought a special visitor, Caden is still asking when

Parker can come back so he can feed him pepperoni's.

He had pizza that afternoon & I have a sneaking feeling that

we will have this conversation every time we have pizza for

the next few months!

We traveled to Pratt for the holiday. Unfortunately we only got to spend 24hrs there - thanks to the lovely life of the railroad! We had a good time and it was great to see all the grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins. Aaron and his brothers even hung Christmas lights for his parents & grandparents!

Parent Watch Week

Ally started taking tap/ballet last year around this time and is now in a tap/ballet/pom/tumbling class. She admits that the tap steps are "hard to remember" and that she really likes ballet! These are a couple of pictures

from Parent Watch week at the studio.

Father/Daughter Dance

Aaron and Ally had a date last night at the Father/Daughter Dance at the high school. Rumor has it they danced, played limbo & learned the "Cupid Shuffle" (whatever that might be) They were definately tired when they got home, but had lots of fun. Hopefully this will be the first of many dates with her DADDY :)

Happy Halloween!

The kids had a great day yesterday. Caden and I went up to the school for Ally's class party where we ate snacks, made some crafts and of course got more candy than we could ever wish for! Last night we headed to Grammy's for chili and some trick or treating in her neighborhood. After that went to "Slime Time" at the church. What a great family day!!
