Gingerbread House Party

 

 

Aunt Dana Rocks!!!!

Aunt Dana and her boys build gingerbread houses for days so that we can all come together for one big decorating party. She hosts all the Great Grandchildren of Royce and Elaine Nichol. What a fun day with a room full of adorable kids! Thanks Aunt Dana!

Our Snowman

 

 

 

 

We all contributed to our big, big, big snowman. He was taller than daddy and fun to build. The only snowman we can make in Oregon are no bigger than a toddler. We do miss Utah snow!

SNOW!

 

 

 

 

We went to Utah for Christmas this year and the weather didn't disappoint. We got a perfect snow day right at the begining of our trip. We could have used one or two more, but we are not complaining. Oh happy day!

THANKSGIVING

 

So hungry! Lets eat already!

 

 

 

Carter was so hungry by the time we took our traditional thanksgiving picture, he didn't want to do it and kept ducking down and then later he wanted us to do it again so that he could be in it. What a stinker. He did get his own turkey leg and loved it. We had a small thanksgiving this year with mom and Jean joining us, but we didn't lack for food and have much to be thankful for.

I think he needs more weapons!

 

 

 

Carter was playing in the bedroom and came out because he could not fit his pistol in his pocket. Gee....I wonder why. He makes me laugh everyday. I just had to share.

Costumes....

 

 

 

 

I got out the bin of costumes and Carter wanted to try on everyone, he was a bird, a dog, a horse riding cowboy, but my favorites were the witch and the mummy. What a funny kid.

More Halloween fun!

 

 

 

 

Two Dracula's Carter and his friend Shane had the same costume. Here are our family of pumpkins.

Madison and Abigail

 

 

 

 

Madison has gotten too big to trick or treat, but still likes to dress up to answer the door for the little ones. Abigail loved her costume & hopes she has just a couple of years before she is too old to go. Happy Halloween!

The Dracula Transformation

 

 

 

 

Carter has wanted to be something scary for Halloween since birth!! Today he got his wish. He loves Halloween. It is his favorite holiday and I almost have to agree with him. We were talking about holiday's and why you like them the best and he said "Halloween is my favorite, because toys break." How can you argue with logic like that?
