Pictures of the Kids - Oh How I Missed This

We took the kids to get Santa pictures yesterday and before they changed out of their nice clothes I wanted to take some pictures of them. I forgot how much I love taking pictures. When we move I will miss this perfect backdrop that we have in our backyard. I am already looking forward to taking more pictures and will be looking for someone/anyone who will let me take some of them. :) Jett wasn't really cooperating but I did manage to get a couple good ones with him and the girls.

Creative Kaiya

Kaiya made this for Cirdan. I don't even know where she got the picture or where she learned to do this! She is a very clever and creative girl.

Preschool Projects

Ella makes the cutest things at preschool! She comes home at least once a week with something adorable. They do a lot of fun projects. This day she had brought home a potato. It had a silver muffin liner for the hat, eyes, a peanut for the nose and licorice for lips. She loves preschool and everyday she asks if she has preschool the next day. I am glad that she is enjoying it so much.

Toy Story Characters Go Trick or Treating

Halloween was really busy this year. Lots of fun parties. On the Saturday before Halloween we had Jett's birthday party. After that we had a party at Kaiya and Ella's dance studio. The kids dressed up and had lots of fun. I need to download the pictures for it. After that party we went directly to our ward church party. As soon as the ward party was over we rushed over to drop Kaiya off at her friends house for a birthday/slumber party. By the time we got home it was late. It was one party after another but that is what the holidays are all about! Kaiya came home from the slumber party and had a couple hours before another Halloween party. In 2 days she attended 5 parties. She is quite the social butterfly!

Halloween night we did some trick or treating around our neighborhood. We got very lucky this year and it didn't rain. It wasn't very cold either. This was Jett's second Halloween but the first one where he could go trick or treating. He absolutely loved it! We had taken the stroller but he wanted nothing to do with it. He wanted to walk by himself. It was so adorable. Ella and Kaiya had fun getting candy....of course.

After about 30 minutes in the neighborhood we headed home and went to Greg and Staci's to trick or treat. We visited for a bit then left and went to Chad and Sandy's house. We spent a little while over there and walked over to our other friends who happen to live a few houses away. Brett was home but Hailey had just left to deliver goodies to a neighbor.

We then stopped by my parents house (who live like 1 minute away from them). Casey was over so we were able to see his costume and take some pictures.

Oh, I forgot to mention that this year we decided to all dress up with a theme. Toy Story! Cirdan agreed to dress up as Mr. Potato head so I hurried and ordered the costumes before he changed his mind.

Ella - Jessie

Jett - Woody

Kaiya - Bo Peep

Cirdan and I - Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head

Lady from our ward...
