Gideon

I have been singing Christmas song this morning. I just got done singing the line "If you want to be happy in a million ways, for the holidays you can't beat home sweet home." When Gideon turned to me and said, "Na uha, Grandma's House!" Guess you know where we go for the holidays. :)

This Year Our Family is Thankful for.....

one of these coming to our family in June.

We can't wait!!!!!

Family Home Evening

Halloween Week

We had a fun Halloween week. On Wednesday we went to Shiloh's parents house and had a family party. We had dinner and played all sorts of games but this is the only one we got a pictures of. Each team wrapped someone up in t.p. using as much paper as they could in the time allowed.

ShiAnne as a mummy.

Lizzy, Grandma and ShiAnne as mummies.

And then we found out it was just as much fun to play with all the t.p. that had been stripped off the mummies. This really was a big hit. (Please just ignore the water spots on the lens.)

Gideon was so cute when you would ask him if he was "super boy he woudl say, "No I big boy."

On Friday we got to got to the school twice to watch Halloween parades. Once in the morning to watch Lizzy aka "Speed Girl"

and then again in the after noon for ShiAnne. Dad got home early and got to come watch ShiAnne's aka "Sunshine Girl's" parade. Lucky girl!


While waiting for Lizzy's parade Gideon entertained himself with trowing this bean bag in the air and making me take pictures of him.

Then while waiting for ShiAnne's parade he found his friend Wesley (Gideon just thinks Wesley is great!) and shared his bean bags . These two had a lot of fun!

After the parade they had an impromptu dance party in ShiAnne's classroom as they played Halloween songs over the speaker. The kids were having a lot of fun.

Finally, Saturday it was actually Halloween. We had a Halloween party at our house and My parents, my sister Jocelyn and her kids. One again we didn't get a whole lot of pictures.

This is a picture is of the boys playing with the bean bags again. I actually made the bean bags to play a game at Shiloh's family's Halloween party. Who knew they would be so much fun?

The girls were making ghost luminaries that we used latter the night in our yard.

And of course we had to do the traditional contest of eating the doughnut of the string. No cheating and using your hands.

A ready competitor!

She is getting good at it. I think she came in second but look at that face.

Don't worry we also went trick of treating that night.

Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
