Buffalo Wild Wings Outing

Nate, Karter and I recently went to MN for me to take a class. One night while we were there we all went out to BWW. Here are Peyton, Olivia and Karter right before we left.

Peyton and Karter immediately reached out to hold hands when we put their chairs together. It was very cute!

First snow this year

We got our first snow of the year in late November. Noelle was so excited that she snuck out of the house to go play in it. She also had to eat the snow! Of course it didn't stick around very long and that was very upsetting for the kiddos!

Painting Ornaments for Grandpa

This year the kids decorated ornaments for the Christmas tree for my dad's birthday gift. Here they are painting the ornaments. Yes I even let Karter get crazy with paint!

Trick or Treat

This year we were the Smurfs for Halloween. Kade was Jokey, Noelle was Smurfette, and Karter was Baby Smurf. I made their costumes this year. They loved being the Smurfs.

Here are Kade and Noelle at the Halloween Parade Penny Carnival in Amboy.

The Smurfs won a prize for their costumes this year. They were very excited.
