Christmas Pajamas and Santa Clause is Coming to Town

Last night all the grand kids came to eat dinner in their Christmas Pajamas and watch Santa Clause is Coming to Town. It takes alot of patience to get five children still enough to take a photo!

I told the kids that I had contacted the North Pole and Santa was sending them an "Elf on a Shelf". I heard about this from my nephew's wife Lindsay and she said that it has been working wonders on their daughter Ellie. Your Elf starts out on a shelf and watches how you behave that day and after you are fast asleep at night, he makes his way back to the North Pole to report to Santa how you are doing. The next day when you wake up, your Elf will be in a different spot in the house for you to find. I explained this to the kids and Kaylie announced very serious,

"I DON'T WANT ONE"!!!!!!!!!!

Harlen and Micah's First Trip to the Deer Lease

Thanksgiving weekend we went ahead and made our annual trip to the deer lease.

This was Harlen's and Micah's first trip and were good babies. At least we didn't

get kicked out of our Hotel!

First Day of School

This year Wade entered into the First Grade, Hayden started Kindergarten and Kaylie is in Pre-K 4.

Wade's First Deer

Wade was able to hunt this year and got his first doe.

Finally my Halloween Post

It took me a while to gather all the photos!

I really missed Wade and Kaylie coming to Nana's house to Trick or Treat, but how could I compete with this? I seriously would want to celebrate Halloween like this if I was a kid!

They were at their deer lease in Dayton. Someone's grandpa pulled a trailer with 26 kids on it, and they "trick or treated" at all the deer stands posted by parents with loads of candy! Now seriously who could pass that up. And note the accessories that Kaylie added to her Mermaid Princess costume. Don't you think the camoflauged jacket and rubber boots just add the right touch?? I think it is the cutest ever!

Small, Medium and Fluffy
