Our Thanksgiving

We have had a great Thanksgiving. Our week started off with Thanksgiving programs at school for Ethan and Ciara.

Ciara had a pancake feast and program. My camera wasn't working when all the preschoolers marched in with their Pilgrim bonnets on. Ciara looked very cute!!!! It was so fun for both Seth and I to watch her sing all her preschool songs, and then we were able to have a pancake feast with her, and then walk around with her will she did Thanksgiving activities and crafts. We are so thankful for Ciara and for the sweet and beautiful girl that she is. Here is a picture of her later that day at school.

Later on in the day we went back to the school for Ethan's thanksgiving program. It was so cute! His teacher, Mrs. Bartholio is such a great teacher and we are thankful Ethan has her as a teacher this year. They sang us some Thanksgiving songs, and then each student had a part to say that told us about the first Thanksgiving. After it was done we had pumpkin pie back in his classroom. We are thankful for Ethan and for all that he does to help me with Bella and for working so hard in school. He is such a good bay!

Then on Thanksgiving day I had a little photo shoot with my little pumpkin!!!! She is ADORABLE!!! She was loving to smile at Ethan, she thinks he is pretty cool! We are so thankful that Bella has joined our family this year. She is such a joy and a blessing in each of our lives and we all love her to pieces!

My three little blessing!

My cute little girls!

I am thankful for a loving husband that takes care of his family, that always is so willing to help me with the house and kids, he helps me out A LOT!, and that he is such a good father to our three kids.

For Thanksgiving we went over to Casey and Brynn's house for dinner. My parents went to Parowan but we couldn't join them because Seth had to work and Brynn is about to have a baby. Even though it was small it was fun and the kids had a lot of fun playing together. After a great dinner we took the kids to see Megamind. After a little dessert we came home and put the kids to bed so that Brynn and I could go shopping! Yes, I went out before midnight and am happy to say that I am all done Christmas shopping!!!!!!!

It's Christmas Card Time!

I love Christmas cards!!!!! I love checking the mail through the month of December to see who sent cards, seeing how families have changed and grown, and connecting with those who live far away. I also love getting Christmas cards done each year of my family. I love looking back at our old ones and remembering when my kids were younger, or the fun things that we did that past year. But I am even more excited this year because we have had a new addition to our family this past year. So after worrying about how was I going to do Christmas cards this year that showcases our new little one, shows off the two bigger ones, and includes a family picture I thought I would have to settle on an all right card. But I no longer have to because I have found so many AWESOME Christmas cards that will help me achieve all my goals over at Shutterfly. They have so many cute designs and styles. I haven't even looked at all of them but have loved so many.

The one I want to use this year....

This one is a folded card that lets me put lots of pictures on the front, a family picture inside with a message. Perfect!

Or take a look at this flat card, too cute!

After looking  around on there website I found some other things that I just LOVE!!!!

Looking for a great gift for grandparents then you will have to make one of these calenders....

I just love how you can put pictures and reminders for special days right on the day of the month where it belongs, such a GREAT idea. I want one of these for myself too!

Then I found the perfect birthday invitations on Shutterfly....

I just think that this birthday invitation would be PERFECT for when Bella turns 1!!! I just love it and you can see how fast a baby grows with just one look.

Halloween Fun

We have had a very happy Halloween here at our house. The kids have had lots of fun and have gotten lots of candy! It is fun that Ethan and Ciara are getting older and enjoy the holidays more. We have done lots of fun this his year. Ethan and Seth went through the haunted houses at Elich Gardens, the kids LOVE to look at all the Halloween things in the stores, having school parties, having Halloween parties, going trick or treating, and having a spooky dinner at Grandma's House.
