Fantasy of Trees 2009

This year, we went to the Fantasy of Trees Gala on Tuesday, then returned the following day to enjoy the crafts. The boys loved it!

Thanksgiving

Here are a few pictures of our Thanksgiving Day!

Deck the Halls

Last week, we worked on getting our house ready for Christmas. Of course, the highlight was putting up the boy's trees. Brenton really understood about decorating a "Mismas" tree and loved to put the ornaments on himself. Most of his ornaments ended up together, but how cute!

Nemo on Ice

A couple of weeks ago, we took the boys to Nemo on Ice. They both LOVED it! We thought Brenton would enjoy it, but he really loved it and still talks about it now! Thatcher really enjoyed the show and watched very intently. It was worth it to be up past their bedtime to enjoy this fun night!

Thatcher's One!

Thatcher is turning 1 on November 24! Where did a year go? He is almost walking and is currently cutting his 6th tooth. He is a busy guy and we are sooooo thankful that he is part of our family! We LOVE you Thatcher! Happy Birthday!

A Cowboy and His Horse

Brenton was a cowboy and Thatcher was a horse for Halloween. Brenton was so excited to have his costume on that getting a picture turned out to be quite a chore. Even though it was cold and rainy, Brenton loved trick or treating and understood clearly how it all worked. The biggest problem has been keeping him out of the candy today!

The Fruit and Berry Patch

Last Friday, we went to the Fruit and Berry Patch with Michael's class. Brenton got to feed sheep, pick a pumpkin, explore a corn maze and drink some yummy apple cider. It was a great trip, and Thatcher even loved it too! While we will there, Thatcher decided to let go of Michael's hands and stand all by himself (for several seconds:-)

Jack-O-Lantern

When Michael asked Brenton what kind of face he wanted his jack-o-lantern to have, Brenton replied, "A mad face." While the face wasn't really "mad" Brenton still loved it! Although when Michael started to carve the face, Brenton said, "Scary," and ran away (see picture).
