Santa with the cousins

We had a wonderful Sunday with Kate's cousins, sister and SANTA!.  The kids had fun doing activities, seeing a show, eating and sitting on Santa's lap.  No tears with Santa this year, Eli was very brave.

Nature Museum with Ama

We visited the kids favorite museum on Saturday with Ama.  The kids showed her how to make a dam and saw turtles, petted snakes and saw hundreds of butterflies.  Everyone was ready for a quiet afternoon so we cuddled up for Elf on the Shelf!

Pump it Up with Ama

Ama bounced and slid and played with the kids at Pump it Up.  The kids had a blast and were worn out.  Fun!

Thanksgiving day

The kids had a great day.  They helped with the cooking and played.  Our meal was spectacular and spent with our loved ones.

Grandpa's tree

The kids helped plant our memorial tree for grandpa.  It was a warm Thanksgiving day for planting.  We said some prayers and gave thanks.  Beautiful to see little hands at work in honor of their grandpa that loved them so much.

Kids pics

The kids are really enjoying each other.  They play together constantly including art projects, riding bikes and being crazy kids.

Fun with Gran and Pop

The kids had lots of hands on fun with Gran and Pop in October (little late getting these up).  Gran and Sadie worked on her music app.  Pop and Eli "played" with the drill and fixed the table

Little Red Riding Hood and Elmo

The kids had a blast over Halloween weekend.  Little Red Riding Hood (aka Sadie) was showered with kudos on her cute costume.  Elmo (aka Eli) loved Halloween--especially the other kids, decorations and pizza.
