Our Thanksgiving was a good one! We were up in Victor for the day. Brian's entire family was there, excluding his youngest brother Nathan who is on his mission in North Carolina! We have been blessed with 2 babies in the last 4 months! We will be blessed with 2 more in the next 3! It's baby mania! The food was great!!! I have to say that I love have Erin and Suzanne in our family as they bring some awesome Southern cooking to the table! Yum! We played some fun games and I think we all enjoyed sharing the Thanksgiving traditions with Jane and Paula! We have been focusing on being even more thankful in our family this week and the spirit in our home is definately better!

Hopefully my next post will be of NEW BABY NEWS!

SNOWY SNOWMAN!

At the first sight of a decent snow the two most excited girls in our home were Emily and Paula! They spent a long time outside playing in it and building this year's 1st snowman!

The SNOW IS AWESOME!

This was Paula's 1st ever snowman!

Kids!

Need I say more!

So fun!

Merry Christmas to ME!

I got a wonderful Christmas gift early this year! It was a weekend visit from my Dad and Kimmie! While they were here they turned a VERY PLAIN child's bedroom into an incredible Happy Place! The kids love it and it's been a long time wish of mine to have it done! Emily Eden's side is a complete little "Garden of Eden" with the necessary princess pink! Andrew's side is an outdoor wonderland complete with a singing fish! They love it and we love it to! Thank you so much to Dad and Kimmie!

HALLOWEEN PICTURES!

Emily was Cinderella!

Andrew was a Cow and a Jail Bird (due to his many crimes this year...he wore a bright orange sign that said "Andrew K. a.k.a. Trouble" on his back)!

We were visited for a wonderful weekend by my Dad and Kimmie!

We made our annual visit to Great Grandma and Grandpa Kearsley!

The Perfect Fall Day!

Andrew and Paula LOVED the rain!

Well, for Andrew, he just LOVES all sources of water...see earlier post! And for Paula, well, it just doesn't rain at all in the desert of Antofogasta, Chile! She was way excited to go run in the rain! They were soaked!

Emily and Andrew were outside right after breakfast that same day to play in the beautiful Fall morning sun! They were having so much fun and looking so ragged and cute!
