So Tired

This is what happens when the baby doesn't have a nap.  He falls asleep during family movie time.  Yes that is a popcorn ball made by my Grandma Redford.  The best popcorn balls ever.

YeeHa

Best friends.

Tanner loves to play with his brother.

That is Daniel's camera smile.

Santa

All the primary kids sang a little program.

Elwyn was very excited to see Santa.

Even Tanner was excited.

We had to peel Daniel away from Santa.  He wouldn't stop talking to him.

I want to sing too.  Plus I am the cutest boy ever.

We went to a ward Christmas party.  The kids did a little program with a little nativity scene.  They did something a little different this year.  Instead of a dinner they had a breakfast.  It went really well.  They had this marvelous buttermilk syrup.  I made it for my family this morning and everyone loved it.  Then the kids got to see Santa.  Daniel kept cutting in line to see him.  Then when he got to sit on his lap he wouldn't stop talking to him.  It was really fun.

Daniel as Spider Man

Tanner wanted to be a ghost so I cute a hole in a sheet and lined the opening with elastic.  I worked better than I thought it would.

A gram-cracker house Tanner made at school.

Elwyn wanted to be a fairy.  Here she is a blue fairy.

Here she is a pink fairy for school.

I drew butterflies on her face and put little flower clips in her braids.

These are the pumpkins we carved for Family Home Evening.  Elwyn's is on the left.  In the middle is Daniels, and on the right is Tanners.

We had so much fun trick or treating,  Andy took the night off so he came along on his crutches.  What a great Dad!  The children got a ridiculous amount of candy.  So much fun.

Toothless

Tanner lost his two front teeth!  He is very proud.

Fair 2011

At the fair this year there was this big parade through town.  I forgot my camera but Daniel loved the bands.  He would get up and dance when ever one went by.  He was mesmerized by the dancers too.  Elwyn and Tanner were very intent on gathering as must candy as they could.  We came home with so much, it was as if we had gone trick or treating.  Then at the fair we saw all the animals.  Putting your animals in the fair is really big out here in Thatcher.  There were turkeys, roosters, chickens, pigeons, goats, pigs, cows, sheep.  I cannot remember the rest.  We were looking at the pigs and most of them were asleep except one.  Daniel put his hand through the fence and the pig was snorting and licking his hand.  Then Daniel would snort back and laugh.  We were all laughing so hard.  It was the cutest thing you ever saw!  The we saw one of the bands perform and Daniel would get out and dance.  A few people snapped pictures of him he was so cute.  Tanner's and Elwyn's class projects were both chosen to be put on display.  Tanner had a Humpty Dumpty.  I am not sure what Elwyn's was.  There were entrances for everything from Legos to peoples collections to quilts and pies.  I did not know they allowed so many entries.  I think we will put some things in the fair next year.
