hayride

Tonight our neighborhood HOA hosted hayrides for everyone.  We waited in line forever and it turned out we only got to go around the park.  But Max was picked to sit up front and he thought that was super cool.  Our group sang Christmas songs and had a fun ride.  Afterwards we walked over to get cookies and hot chocolate, but they were out of cookies.  Oh well!

he figured it out

I took Sam and Hunter to Smoothie King for a smoothie drink.  Hunter kept begging for some, but he hasn't figured out how to use a straw.  He was getting so frustrated, when it suddenly clicked and he got it.  He would take a sip and look at me with the biggest smile. 

a night out

Tonight was Trevor's work party.  It was a fun night.  They had good food, funny entertainment and great prizes (which we didn't win!)  It was fun to go out, be with friends and have a good laugh(see below)!

Kye's Award Assembly

Kye had his awards assembly today.  He earned the Citizenship Award and the Straight "A" Honor Roll award.  Great job Kye!

decorating the tree

We let the kids decorate the tree this year. Someday I will get my "beautiful tree". They love doing it and this is really who the Christmas season is for. Only the lower part of the tree is decorated, but I love to sit back and watch them. Hunter kept taking the ornaments off. He was having just as much fun.

Max's Award Assembly

It is the end of the first trimester already.  Max had his awards assembly today and received the Citizenship Award and the Straight "A" Honor Roll.  Great job Max!

searching for food

I walked into the kitchen and found Hunter like this.  He had pushed a chair across the kitchen and climbed up on it.  He had a banana in his hand and he was biting it with the peel on.  He put it back and gave me that innocent "I didn't do it look"  when I grabbed my camera for a picture.
