Decorating the Tree

Tonight we decorated our Christmas tree. The girls were so excited all day to decorate it. They had so much fun putting all of the ornaments on. I love decorating for Christmas, it is so fun to see the girls get so excited and it brings such a sweet spirit into our home.
The girls got a kick out of laying under the Christmas tree. They had so much fun tonight.

Mom & Dad's 60th Birthday Party

Yesterday we celebrated Mom & Dad's 60th Birthday. Mom turned 60 in October and Dad turns 60 in December. It was so much fun having everyone together. It was such a great party. So many of our aunts, uncles cousins and friends were there and it was fun catching up with them. Missy and Ryan made an awesome birthday cake. It looked so professional-it was really tasty too!! Growing up my parents made such a big deal about birthday parties. I always felt so special and loved and I am glad that we could throw them a birthday party and let them know how much we love and appreciate them. I love you Mom and Dad.

Halloween

Well Alexa and Grace have been looking forward to Halloween for a long time. I love Halloween and all of the fun things that go along with it. We carved pumpkins last night and made Halloween cookies today. The girls could hardly wait to go trick-or treating. Alexa was Tinkerbell and Grace was a Cowgirl. They looked adorable in their costumes. They got a lot of candy and had fun seeing all of their friends trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.
Alexa was laughing at Grace because I told her to say cheese and instead she pretended she was blowing out candles. Grace always keeps us laughing.
