The Tree!

Jared buckled and let us get a real tree! It is so pretty with all our tacky ornaments on it.

Ellie wanted to help... so she tasted all the ornaments to make sure they were ready to hang.

We had to rearrange to fit it in our tiny living room.

The Polar Express!

Jared and Ellie being silly on the train.

Both kids were sick but it was totally fun anyway.

Brody just chillin on the Polar Express

Almost ready to board. "Lets go!"

Brody's favorite Engine.

The Ugliest... I mean, Awesomest Gingerbread House Ever!

It's really my fault. I decided not to spend the money on a premade kit. So we made all the parts by scratch and then used a tone of frosting trying to get it to stay together...

It ain't pretty but it tastes good.

The decorating team.

"Can I eat it now?"

Saying Goodbye to Fall...

Brody and his two buds Keagan and Jaden had an awesome time raking up the leaves into a neat pile and then destroying it. Super fun.
Here is Brody taking a cheap shot...


Here is the aftermath of the cheap shot.

Bring it on... not even protecting his face.

Buried in leaves.

Ellie's Sphaghetti Adventure

Ellie decided one night she wouldn't be fed anymore. She wanted to do it herself so,... I let her.... on spaghetti night. This is the aftermath:

"I've got it where?... Oh, in my hair."

"What are you lookin' at?"

"Ok, I am definately done."
