KAI Kids Christmas Party & a visit with Santa

This week was the annual KAI Kids Christmas party downtown at the office. Molly was so excited to go to Daddy’s office. I think she thinks that there is a party there everyday!!

Molly & Daddy frosted cookies

Bama Jan held lots of babies! (This is Sydney Mills)

Brendan made new friends!!

Molly ate her cookie!

Wendy loved on a sleepy Brendan

Then, SANTA came in!! Molly was so excited to see him! She just giggled and hid behind my legs! But, she really wanted to go tell him what she wants for Christmas, so eventually she went to sit on his lap. Also, she knew he was going to give her a candy cane, and she wasn’t going to miss that!1 Ha ha!!

Brendan slept through his first visit with Santa!

Molly told Santa what she wanted: a purple bike with pedals!

Brendan woke up and got a picture too! He didn't mind Santa at all!

After the party, Molly wanted to go see the Portland Christmas tree at Pioneer Square (She sees it on TV all the time). So we walked a block up the street to see it! It is HUGE!!

A very fun night!! Thanks KAI for another great party!

 

Molly’s first Nativity set

We’ve been playing with the Fisher Price Nativity Set that Bama gave Molly last year at our house. She has started talking about Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. But today, she came home from preschool with a set she had made! She was so proud!! It definitely means more when you make it yourself! She colored each person & animal purple (of course!) I think it is beautiful!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at our house this year. Bama, Papa, Matt & Lauren, Brian & Sabrina, Auntie, Ivan, and Matt’s friend Jason all joined us.

My little Turkeys

 

I was busy cooking most of the day so these are the only pictures I got with my camera. I will update this post with my dad’s pictures when h e gives them to me!! We had a busy day, with lots of good food & football…….UNTIL the Aggies lost to tu on a last second field goal. Ugh!

The only year that our Turkey will weigh more than Brendan!! Turkey: 24lbs, Brendan: 14 1/2 lbs!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Halloween 2011

Happy Halloween!! We had a great day filled with lots of fun!!

Brendan's first Halloween!!

Molly wanted to be a bunny this year, so with a lot of help from our friend Joni, Brendan was a carrot!!

They were pretty darn cute!! After eating dinner in a pumpkin, we went Trick-or-Treating with our neighbors, the Petersons.

Trick-or-Treat!!

The girls: Norah, Elaina & Molly

They were so cute going up to the doors! So independent this year!

A very tired carrot!

Molly with her stash of candy!! She couldn't believe it was all hers!

We hope you had a wonderful Halloween too!!

Happy Halloween!!
