November '11

November brought tons of snow!  (we haven't had much since).  We got two major snow storms and the kids loved playing in it. 

 They got really creative!

We had Thanksgiving at my Mom and Dad's house again this year.  It was a quiet weekend, cause we were the only ones there!

While we were there, we went to see Santa. 

Erin and Devin had very specific things they were asking for.

Sean wanted nothing to do with Santa.

Colin wanted to ask Santa for things, but would not sit on his lap.  John happened to be sick the day we went to see Santa, so I had to hold Sean while helping Colin stand next to Santa and tell him what he wanted. It was comedy!  Sean was screaming, because he didn't like Santa, and Colin was whispering his requests.  This was a very good Santa!  He didn't seem to mind at all. 

  Grandma helped the big kids decorate a Gingerbread house too!  We had a great time there at Thanksgiving.

November 29th was Sean's 1st Birthday! 

 I can't believe my baby's 1!  He had a great day and was very pleased with his presents.

He grabbed the dinosaurs off his cake right away, and wondered why we were all singing.

At first, he didn't know what to do with this colorful thing in front of him.  When he touched it it made his hands sticky and he didn't like it. 

But when I gave him a taste of the frosting, he dug in!!!  He has a major sweet tooth now!

Thanksgiving!!!

Ok, I know it's way past time to blog when my camera's memory card gets full. I've got a little bit of catching up to do!

First of all, We had a great Thanksgiving at my Mom and Dad's house in Delta. While we were there we went to see Santa. Erin asked for a video camera. Devin asked for Wolverine Fingers (It's a wolverine glove with retractable claws)

Colin wanted nothing to do with that strange Man with a big white beard!!!
Ryan and Jocelyn were there too with baby Brad. Richard and Callie came later, and we saw Roger and Tasha part of the time too. We went to see New Moon, decorated a gingerbread house, played guitar hero, and watched the BYU vs. Utah game. My Grandma Sorensen joined us for the BYU game. With half the gang rooting for BYU, and half rooting for Utah, it was an exciting game.

When we got back Erin and John got their blue belts. They are really cruising toward black.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving this year! We sure did. We spent the weekend at My Mom and Dad's in Delta. We ate and played, and had a great time. Everyone was there except for my sister Monica who lives in Iowa.
On the Friday, we went to some sand dunes near Delta. It was really fun for the kids! They love sand! It was pretty good weather too!
Mom made a Ginger bread house with the kids that they quickly devoured that very day. And we went to see Santa.
Erin asked for a real puppy, and a real camera. I told her she already has a camera, but she clarified it by saying she wanted one that was like mine.
Devin planned on asking for a Dinosaur, but when Santa asked him what he wanted, Devin said "I can't (r)wemembew(r)"

Colin took a good look at Santa and then started crying. Maybe next year when he's not teething he'll care a little more. All in all we had a great Holiday break. Thanks Mom and Dad!
