Hates his picture taken so every time I get my phone out he hides his face! 

A boy thing...looking at guns

playing cards with kids

Getting my camera ready to take a picture with him...and then I call his name and he turns and I click! LOL

He actually posed for one picture with me! I would like to think he came out to see me...but when in reality it was to see B! 

Family pictures

Christmas parade

I think this is our first time Ever going to a winter parade and it was actually snowing. It was cold but fun! 

I thought the sheriff's float was the most creative. 

Karsyn loved waiving at everyone. This was kind of a funny moment. The police officers were walking down handing out candy. They walked right passed Karsyn. Karsyn turns around and says, "Seriously I can't believe this!"

Then after the parade we went to the lighting of the town tree. 

festival of trees

We normally go to the mall to get pictures with Santa. This year we are over 2 hours away from one, didn't really feel like driving that far with kids.  Our town had festival of trees and pictures with Santa. We went to go check it out, expecting a not so good Santa. This Santa was legit. The pictures also turned out way better then the malls anyway and way cheaper. I am hoping they have this again next year! 

These were some of the trees people auctioned off that I thought were pretty neat. These trees were bought between $500-$1800. 

After pictures we received free hot cocoa and walked around to see all these cool trees. 

field trip

I went on a field trip with my youngest daughter. They went to an instrument store to get ideas about making their own. 

After music store we went to the park to play and have hot cocoa. 

She made a piano
