November and Thanksgiving

I am in charge of activity days in our ward. This last activity we had a my house and had an educate/ manors lesson and had a tea party. They each got to set there own table setting. I think they had fun- here are some of the cute girls, including Jocelyn

We had a huge snowstorm about 3 weeks ago. After school the whole neighborhood went sledding at the vacant lot on our street. They had so much fun and did a few days until all the snow melted.

This year we got to celebrate Thanksgiving with some of the Nelson clan at the family cabin in Midway. It was a beautiful day and there was lots to be thankful for. The food was amazing. Thanks to all who made it happen and for many hands to prepare it.
Here is my little sisters Bryndy and Makenzie and my kiddos riding the Suri!

My mom was in charge of the crafts and she went all out. With about 4 to 5 different crafts for the kids and adults to do. Here is Jocelyn making her "Give Thanks" sign.

Halloween

Caden as "Robin" before his Halloween School Performance

James wanted to wear his costume as often as he could. He loved Halloween this year and really believed he was BATMAN. He would tell everyone, even random strangers he was Batman. He also called each of us by what we were for Halloween all October. Funny Boy!

Caden's preschool class

His buddy and Cousin Lucas is in his class.

Singing and doing actions to cute Halloween songs

Caden with his teacher - Miss Tammy

Jocelyn was "Glinda- the Good Witch" this year. She saw WICKED this year and loved it and wanted to go with that theme! She is not a Princess and did not like it when people thought she was- funny. Nani made her this pretty cape and altered one of Aunt Bryndy's old bridesmaid dresses and added sleeves. It turned out great! thanks Nani Wendy.
