Tree house museum

We went to the Ogden Tree House Museum with Chelse and Mac. Our kids played with everything. Some longer than others. Matthew really like the fire truck and trains the most. Whereas the girls favored the castle, dress ups and horses! But it was a fun afternoon!

1st snow of the season

The 1st time it snows each year, the kids get so excited and beg and beg to go play in it. Even if there's not enough to really play in. So I get them all bundled up and they go play just long enough to remember that its COLD! Then they all come tromping back in wanting hot cocoa! I swear its not worth all the trouble...but yet we do it every year!

Matt & Makayla chose to jump on the snow covered tramp.

Alyssa was playing on the snow covered swing set

Snow ball fight on the tramp!

Then she chose to shovel the grass!

Matt had enough after like 10 mins. then it was time for "hot cha-lick"

Princesses on ice

We took the girls to Disney's Princesses on ice. They had so much fun. By the look of their faces, you'd have thought they'd died and gone to heaven watching the show. And we had awesome seats, just a few rows up from the really expensive seats. You could see the princesses faces and everything. It was SO much fun. The girls had a great time! :)

We ran into Alyssa's friend Addy during intermission!

Alyssa's 5th Birthday

Alyssa turned 5 on the 2nd of November. She had a Tinkerbell party, well 3 Tinkerbell parties actually! We had her Big Family and Friends party on Sunday night. On Mon (her birthday) she got to give out cupcakes to her preschool class. Had her friend party after school, then got to choose where we went to eat that night for dinner. When we came home she opened a few more gifts and watched the new Tinkerbell movie, we had just got from the red box! So 3 fun parties for our big 5 year old! She enjoyed it so much she wanted her birthday to last all week. lol

The Family Party:

Alyssa's Tinker bell cake

Opening the gifts...

She was really excited about these 2. She really

wanted this movie. And the coloring book from

Aunt Stacie and Uncle Austin was a hit. It's one

Kayla already has, but will never share! Lyss

looked at every single page in the book before

she opened any more gifts! She was in heaven

knowing it was all hers!

Lyss with her cake...blowing out the candles

She waited till most everyone was gone, before

she helped herself to the piece of cake she really

wanted. It had a pink flower on it, she pulled it

right out of the middle of the cake! I thought it

was pretty funny!!!

Lyss's family party-cake time!!!
