Abbie and Parker Birthday fun!!!

The best part about new couches.....THE BOX!!!

So finally....we got a new couch and loveseat!!! Not only do the kiddos love the new couch (they told everyone they came in contact with about them, even though we had to wait 2 weeks for them to come in), but they love the BOX!!! Parker used it as a car to go to "grandpa's" and Abbie used it as a car to go to "Walmart", of all places, but it was to get "grandpa medicine." PJ is not so proud of Abbie's love for Walmart, so lately we have been going to Target, so I am a bit surprised that she insisted she drive her "car" to Walmart. Now we just have to figure how to get rid of the box without them taking to much notice, we will see how that goes.

On a totally unrelated note, we have been neighbor spying (not stalking), because we have Olympic contenders that are staying right above us. They are from Norway, and apparentely do not speak very good (or much) english, but my goal is to snag a pic and autograph from them.

Wigging Out!!!

Parker found the wig from PJ's halloween costume and decided to wear it. It was hilarious the different ways that he put it on, and of course Abbie had to do the same. They had a good time playing with it, hopefully they will never let their hair really look like this, but it is fun to pretend.

Christmas Time

We had a great Christmas this year. Parker and Abbie couldn't wait for Christmas this year. Once we got the tree up, every morning they were expecting to see presents from Santa. On Christmas morning they were extremely happy after weeks of waiting.

We took them downtown to see the lights and to show them why we celebrate Christmas. It was so cold, but so amazing to feel the spirit that came when we were watching the nativity scene and listening to the Prophet talk about the birth of Christ. (although Parker did fall asleep at some point while we watched)I am so thankful for Our Heavenly Father, for sending us our Savior, we are truly blessed by his birth and his atonement.

We hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and will have a great New Year! Happy Holidays!!!

My little trick or treaters!!!!

We had an awesome time trick or treating this year. Both kiddo's understood what to do and exhibited good manners. It was so cute to hear Abbie tell everyone that gave her candy "thank you and HAPPY halloween" in her cute little voice. And our cute little pirate making sure that his little sister didn't miss out on getting candy, he would wait until she had picked her candy out and then it "was come on ABBIE, run!" Now we just have to figure out how to keep them away from all that candy!!! Hope everyone had a great halloween....can't wait to see what next year will bring!!!

Gardner Village-Pre Halloween Fun

We spent 2 weekends in a row at Gardner Village, visiting the witches. Both Parker and Abbie loved it. Parker said "no witches will get me" and "i will safe you from the witches, don't worry I will hold your hand!" It was so sweet. They enjoyed getting their faces painted, riding ponies, talking with the witches and spending time outside in the cold! Now we are even more excited for Halloween. Only 2 more weeks!!! YAY!!!!!
