I got Christmas up a little earlier than usual this year because we are leaving for Disneyland on Saturday. 
I decided to hang the stockings up in the living room this ear since we had some hooks left over from Halloween. I think it turned out really cute! My living room kind of feels like a little Christmas cottage. Now wish me luck on keeping the kids away from the tree. Especially Hannah Lu!
The first snow that actually stuck was the so called blizzard. So the kids were so excited to go out and shovel. It was Hannah Lu's first time experiencing the snow. She didn't like it much, and she wouldn't keep her mittens on!
Hannah Lu not so sure about this weather. 
Hannah Lu crawled under my bed to get something she had dropped and got stuck! This is the side rail and all I could see was her leg.
I stuck the camera under the bed and this is the picture I got. She sat up under my bed with her head going up by the head board.
A distressed look!
It takes an act of Congress to get my children to sit still and take their picture! My Mom's good friend made these hats for the kids. They love them! Especially Hannah Lu. She got 2 hats, the witch hat, and a pumpkin hat. She wouldn't keep the pumpkin hat on so I could take a picture. Thanks Kim, I will treasure them forever!
Jackson wearing his shark hat. As you can see there are teeth in the front and the back, so the shark is eating his head.
Garrett wearing his one eyed monster hat. There are also teeth in the front and back, but incase you didn't notice, the monster's body comes off of the back too!
Hannah Lu wearing her cute witch hat.
Happy Halloween! We had lots of fun, along with many activities this past week! Jackson and Garrett decided they would be cowboys for Halloween, so of course Hannah Lu was a cowgirl.
Hannah Lu, she finally put her hat on for me so I could take a picture
We went to the Jensen Pumpkin Festival friday night for the first time. The traffic was horrible! So next year we decided to go at 6:00pm when it starts.
We had a Halloween party Friday afternoon. We had a great turn out and the kids really enjoyed themselves. Thanks to Andrea Wardle that took a group picture!
This is the decor over the kitchen table. We made and decorated Halloween cupcakes, that the kids snarfed in a matter of 5 minutes! This party was all my Mom's idea, so we would not have been able to do it without her! I remember having a big Halloween party when I was little, so I am glad that my children have one to remember.
My Mom is also the pumpkin carver in the family. My friend Leesa and her girls went with us to get pumpkins, and then for Family Home Evening my Mom carved everyone's pumpkins with the face of their choice! Mom has been here for three weeks now, and my Dad drove down to get her. I am sure they are ancious to return home, but they will be missed. Thanks for coming Mom, we had so much fun, and love you and appreciate all that you do for us!

I saw a sign on the fence by the middle school, Free Skating Lessons! So I took the my kids, and my friends. They had a blast! It was really cute. The high school ice hockey team was there to assist the coach that was putting this on. They also had these walker things for the kids to skate with.
Jackson really got the hang of it, and by the time it was time to go he was skating pretty fast.
The coach would blow his whistle and everyone would come in and he would give them something else to work on. 
Makayla on the other hand I think was enjoying the attention that she was getting from a couple of the boys from the hockey team! They were really cute with all of the kids.
This young man escorted her out onto the rink because at the time she didn't have a walker. We had lots of fun, hopefully we can do it again.
