I have had our Christmas decorations up for a month now, except for the tree. Tonight, I grabbed some pizzas from Little Ceasars! The kids and I had a pizza/tree decorating party along with a movie! The kids LOVED helping to put the decorations on the tree! I cherish every moment and every smile with these kids! :)
To top the night off, it is snowing! We are so excited for the snow. I'm taking the kids shopping for snow boots next week!

Hope everyone had a Great Thanksgiving! Ours was very nice. Mike did all of the cooking, which thankfull, he loves to do. He wouldn't accept any help from us! lol. My parents, my brother and his friend Richard along with Mike's Dad, Shirley and Hailey! It was a full house!
Christmas is right around the corner! I'm in the Christmas spirit this year!!! :) The kids are doing well. Channing has been running a fever since last night. I took him to the DR today bc he has been complaining of his ear hurting but the DR said he checked out fine and it's just a cold. Poor little man. He hardly ever gets sick but when it does hit him, he's down and out. Gavin is so full of energy and Mike's parents got a taste of that this weekend! They watched the kids for a few hours while I had no choice but to go into work. I was very appreciative of their help!
this year, Mike and I avoided the long lines and crazy hassle of Black Friday shopping. We did all of our shopping online. I can't wait for Olivia to get her new clothes. I ordered so much stuff from Old navy online. That could become addicting. I have to make sure I stay away from online shopping! ;)

The Kids' school puts on its annual Community Veterans day parade. They get all of the kids in school involved! Channing got to ride on the float this year and he wanted his Papa to ride with him! Olivia walked in the parade with her class. She was such a ham waving to everyone. She told me she felt like a princess! After the parade, my parents and the kids came back to the house and we had cake and ice cream to help celebrate my birthday! The kids made me a special cake.

The other day, the kids and I worked on a crafty Christmas tree! They had so much fun! We cranked up the Christmas tunes, ate pizza and had great quality time together! I'm such in the Christmas spirit this year! Almost all of our Christmas decor is out! :)

Today is a very sad day. Grandma Sharon went to be with the Lord this morning. We will forever miss her.

Happy Halloween!! We have had a very busy weekend!Friday morning took the boys up to the school where we watched Olivia's costume parade. Mike took the boys back home so that I could help out with the class party! Friday night we went to the local Farm park and went through the Witch's walk. The kids had a blast with their friends! Saturday night we went Trick or Treating around our neighborhood with mom and some of our friends. Sunday morning, the kids and I woke up and mom picked us up and we went to the Niabi zoo for Boo at the Zoo! We also met Granny Wheat and aunt Pauline there with her grandson Issac! We all. We are all Trick or Treated out and have enough candy to last us through til next Halloween. lol. Now that Halloween is over we are getting the house ready for Thanksgiving! We are going to have a houseful this year!! I'm so excited! Thanksgiving is another favorite Holiday of mine!
