Christmas Decorations

Thanksgiving guests have left so the Christmas decorations come up.  We start Christmas with family next weekend.  We just jump from one holiday to the next.  Henry is so fun this year with the tree.  We left to run errands and when we got home he just looked at me with a big smile and said TREE!!  Enjoy all of the photos!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Well the holidays have arrived, how did that happen I have no idea?!  But we hosted out 4th Thanksgiving and did it with great success!  We had a much smaller group this year as my mom's family all had a lot going on with expected new babies, family who are a lot further away, and new boyfriend families to visit.  We missed seeing them on Thanksgiving, but it was fun to have a smaller group.  Our group ended up being my grandma, her husband Walt, my mom, my sister and her family, and Rob's parents and Grandpa Virgil.  We have never mixed our families for Thanksgiving and I have to say it was a lot of fun!!  My sisters family and mom stayed till this morning so we were able to spend the weekend with them.  I tried to take a lot of photos as I knew I would be posting this.


Here is Paigey and Grandma getting the deviled eggs ready before everyone got to our house!


Paige and my niece Carly (Heather's oldest) decided to play dress up.  I busted out laughing when I saw their outfits.  I also laughed when Carly posed like this for a picture because this is something her mother would NEVER do.


Everyone relaxing after lunch and deciding if there was any shopping that needed done.


Rob and I after another successful Thanksgiving.  We have to admit we're getting better at this!


These two little boys have my heart.  My nephew Colin (Heather's youngest) and my Henry.  They had so much fun together this weekend.


Carly and Henry were two peas in a pod.  They were playing at my Dad's together juts dancing in the living room.


Friday morning we did a lot of relaxing while Heather and Tony did some shopping.  Carly and Paige were cuddling watching netflix.


Then there was a lot of game playing


Colin decided to cuddle with Paige while the big girls played games with Grandma


Then we went bowling!!  We had set up an event for us all to go bowling and have pizza.  We all had so much fun!!  Henry did so good.  He watched some cartoons and ate pizza.  He wanted to bowl so bad.

Oh these three girls!



My mom and her grandsons are the best.  These boys think she's the best thing.  This was while we were getting ready to go eat supper to celebrate my mom's birthday.


This picture melts my heart.  Elise was reading to Paige while they were waiting for food.  Paige was laughing so hard at parts of the book.


Happy 60th birthday to this lady!  We went out and celebrated my mom on Friday, she turned 60 on Nov 20th.  It was fun to all go out to eat together!


Paige wanted to wear Grandma's hat



Just these boys playing together before everyone went home.  Such a great weekend spent with my family.  The holidays are stressful but always nice to see everyone.

Famous Kids Again

So my kids are famous again and their getting used to it.  My work has received an amazing opportunity to do 13 videos for Scheel's.  Scheel's is doing a giveaway for the holidays and you can learn all about it on their social media.  Henry and Paige were both shot for the promo video that has been released.  Here is the link Scheel's Promo Video.  Here are some behind the scenes photos of my kids.  They are shooting with a camera called GoPro.  For those of you who don't know it's a camera you can wear or hook on a lot of different things.  Henry got to wear it in his video.  Paige and I are in the next one and we each got a turn to wear it.  Enjoy the photos!!








Best picture of Paige from the video...but please notice Henry in the background..he looks so scary
