(Extra Thanksgiving picture I forgot about)
We got out our Christmas decorations today, there are the boxes that we store the ornaments in. (Owen is holding a plastic marlin)
PIE
As part of our school we're doing a Christmas Service project. We were assigned several families and individuals to bring Christmas to. We wrapped hundreds of presents, put together hygiene kits, stockings, and candy!
We went to my parents house, Grandpa had two smiley faces.
Hair Experiments
Amy got out the make-up
We went to the bird refuge
We went to the aquarium in Draper, Utah
Owen loved where you could go under the glass tank and have a panoramic view of the fish
There were little elf on the shelf elves that they placed around inside the aquariums, it was a little bit weird seeing them hiding in the shadows.
Owen loved seeing all of the fish!
Part of the Aquarium is centered on the Amazon, so there was lots of birds. (Ellie spent most of the time "talking" with one of the parrots).
There is a large rope bridge that spans across the width of the floor.
Killer whale tricks
Owen got very happy when we arrived at the poisonous frog exhibit.
He also loved the rope bridge
Surfing on Killer Whales
I am a special guest
Christmas is coming up!
Our emergency water supply fell off a shelf in the night. So did our paper towels. Luckily. (:
Someone has been doing the twelve days of Christmas to us, the kids love running to the door when they here the knock and finding what the gifter left us.
Barry constructs, the kids decorate, the Owen eats!
"My chocolate pretzel"
The DAWN Plate. Every year Barry's coworker makes us an incredible plates of treats. We look forward it it all year long. To all of the Pates means all for me, right?
The kids did awesome on decorating
The legend of Korra and the Cooked Carrots
Stockings up!
Play-date with some friends
Barry did a awesome job on the laundry room shelf and moving the new dryer into place.
We visited my Grandpa Griffin, he is so nice! He gives the kids their favorite books each year!
We went to the Christmas party for my family and took part in the pageant put together by my sister.
The wise Lauren
Owen embraced his role as a sheep
There were a lot more 'baa's' in this version
We went and got ice cream ( yes, I know its December) after the party.
Yes!
Owen helped with the making of the pie.
The gift are getting bigger and more fruitful
Lauren's birthday! (Its Cheesecake, not pizza)
We love you Lauren Larue!
