Decorating the Tree

 "Come on Mom, just let us open 1 present!"

Christmas Spirit

Now that Thanksgiving is officially over it is time to finish decorating the house for Christmas!  I LOVE this time of year from the music to the lights. 

Ella wanted to decorate her room that she uses oh so much with a pink tree.  We found the perfect one at Kohl's for a great deal but ended that super steal of a price with paying for broken ornaments from the rugrat!  But it turned out cute.  Now if only that would motivate her to sleep in her room! Ha, not a chance.

Thanksgiving!

We have sooo much to be Thankful for this year.  If you asked Landon what he is Thankful for he would tell you his superheroes and his costumes! Ella is thankful for her friends and her dinosaurs.  Then last they would mention mom and dad.  Ha!

 We woke up in the morning with a tooth missing AGAIN from miss Ella.  I went into complete freak out mode and am now determined to stop her from sucking her thumb.  Her bottom teeth are very tiny and we think it might be from that.  At least the dentist is mostly concerned about the thumb sucking before it causes future damage.  On the bright side the tooth fairy made another visit to the house!

After all the tooth drama we loaded up the car and headed to Peoria to Aunt Rose and Roman's house.  She cooked an amazing meal and we stuffed our faces all afternoon with yummy food!  We can't thank you enough for hosting Thanksgiving!

Grandma comes to Town :)

 Cotton Field!

After weeks of counting down the days, Grandma is finally coming back to town!!  They had her visit planned since the day she purchased her plane ticket.  Ella was excited to have a tea party and Landon wanted to make sugar cookies with Grandma cuz mommy don't know how to bake.  Awww the little things that make them happy!  I am sad that i forgot my camera most of the time she was here :(  But we stayed busy with visiting Santa, Jambo! in Phoenix with Bridge and Keenan, our first swap meet, and a sleepover with the Kuhlman fam.  The week went by way too fast and were sad to say goodbye :(  Can't wait to see you soon!  Love you Grandma

Fall Soccer!

 Ella's 1st Practice

 Lovely face!

Lately our weeks have been filled with soccer!  This is Ella's first season of playing and she loves it.  Well, let me take that back.  She loves Monday night practice!  We just finished up our 3rd game and am proud to say she actually played and for once wasn't crying on the field.  Landon on the other hand is a lil' soccer stud!  He is going on his 4th season and isn't scared to go after the ball. FINALLY!  We are very proud of our soccer players :)

Phoenix Zoo

Landon and Ella were excited when we were invited by their friends to join them at the zoo!  They have been begging to go there for months and months but the weather was too brutal.  Now i wish we lived closer cuz i would be there every week!  It may not be the Omaha zoo, but they were thrilled to be able to ride a camel!
