We had a student apartment reunion, that was spear-headed by our friends who were visiting from Australia. I love these women so much. They have all influenced my life and I get nostalgic thinking about our time together. We were missing a few beloved families due to distant moves! We also were able to stay with my aunt and uncle and visited with friends. A quick, but oh-so-worth-it trip!
Yup, these would be Halloween pictures! The pictures don't do the costumes justice. The kids looked adorable! We trick or treated with another family. The kids had a blast.
We did a field trip to the pumpkin patch with the preschool. The rule is "If you can carry it, you can have it!" IT WAS FREEZING, but we came back with pretty pumpkins!
Brenda and me with our little preschool class!
Noelle went to the pumpkin patch with her kindergarten class a week before us and it was a sunny, warm day! Such is weather in Idaho!
Noelle and her friend Kendall!
And THIS is Elijah in a nutshell. This kid is a crackup! And, he can sit and color for hours!
These kids attack Dan when he gets home from work
Our new kitchen! I was going to post pictures of the whole house, but decided that you will have to come see it to get the full tour! This is where I spend most of my day!
The exterior of our new home! Noelle says it looks like a barn. It is bold, I know, but we love it! We have to wait until the spring to landscape! TOO COLD!
We hosted a Thanksgiving Feast for our preschool families. We had a yummy dinner and the kids did a little performance. It was wonderful to have our family with us! This is Corom with his buddy Gavin!
This is typical, silly Noelle!
There's little ELijah coloring again!
Noelle's kindergarten did a feast as well and they dressed up like pilgrims and indians. Noelle wouldn't even look at me with her costume on, but she looked so cute!
Bounce-Housing with the cousins!!!!
These are just various pictures from Thanksgiving. My mom flew in on Monday, my sister Nikki and her family drove up on Tuesday and my Dad and brother Brandon drove up on Wednesday. We had a full house, with people sleeping all over the place. Dinner turned out wonderful, we visited and held baby Tessa, went to a bounce house place and to the movies! These times are priceless! The kids jumped right back in where they had left off and played and played!
On Saturday, we drove up to Sun Valley for a picnic in the snow. It was beautiful. We didn't stop and shop because we had the children with us, but the towns surrounding Sun Valley are charming! (Kind of like Park City!)
