Christmas Program

The kids had their school Christmas Program last night - each grade did a couple of songs so I'm going to try to download the videos. I tried last night and it was taking forever so I finally just went to bed (sorry Mike). I'll start with Dawson - even though it is not a Christmas song - they did an AWESOME job!! So hopefully the sound comes through so you can also "jam" out with Dawson. He is on the right side of the screen in a striped shirt. Every now and then we get Noah (one of Dawsons friends) in the video - he is on the left side with a red shirt on.

Halloween 2008

Our friends invited us over for an 80's Halloween party. We had tons of fun - and yes that is a BIG white bow in my hair (thanks to Hayley)!! For Halloween night Hayley decided to give out popcorn - so Mike and Ryan took the kids trick or treating and we stayed back to pop. The weather was soooo perfect - I had on a sweatshirt and was plenty warm. This was the first year that I can remember not having to bundle up my kids with WINTER clothes!!

Our neighbor bought a 1969 (or is it a 1967) GTO - the boys were on cloud nine when he told them he'd take them for a ride and of course Madi thought it ws pretty cool too.

Crazy hair day has become a tradition at school - the kids LOVE it!

APPLESAUCE

Making applesauce with Grandma Freeman!! The kids had tons of fun helping wash and squishing the apples. We ended up with alomst a hundred quarts, 20+ pints and
14 apple pie filling!! It is so nice to be able to see a whole shelf of yummy applesauce in my storage room ready to eat.

Let it Snow!!!

This was the first day of snow and the kids were so excited! There wasn't enough snow in our yard for Madi's snowman so she headed for the park. I was cold and being lazy so I sent Carston out with the camera. Lucky for me the camera also has a video feature on it so Carston took a picture and video!

Here is a video of the kids playing on the jumps by the school.
