Is it Christmastime?

How do I know that it's Christmastime at our house?

Well, the Holy Family has made an appearance.

Decorations are out.

The tree is up and already missing several ornaments.

Gifts are wrapped.

The stockings are hung.

 Merry Christmas Mr. Owl!

Christmas books are strewn everywhere!

 

As are Christmas crafts.

Christmas music and movies are playing continuously. 

Our Christmas Countdown Chain/Advent Calendar is getting shorter!

Homemade goodies are being boxed up and are awaiting neighbors and friends.

How do I know it's Christmastime at our house?

I'm out of butter for the second time this week.

Trunk or Treat/ Pumpkin Carving

I joined a Mom's group over the summer and it was a great decision, if I do say so myself! I've been to a handful of meetups and it really is a great group of moms and kids. Trunk or Treat was a must attend! Everyone brought bowls of goodies, be it candy, toys, snacks and the kids got to go around and collect their loot. Then, when everyone was done, we had a potluck style lunch and there was some really great food! Because it was held at a park the kids spent the rest of the time running off their candy and making friends!

 

  

We waited unitl the last moment to carve our pumpkin. Coen loves scooping out the insides!

Family Easter photos 2012

Oh mygoodness. I scored some great Easter duds at JBF this spring. Both boys are wearing outfits from there totaling $8.50, not including Coen's new Sperry's (which look like they had been worn for about an hour) which I got for $8.00. OH! That makes me happy! So we snapped a few pics after church before the rain picked up.

 This is the closest thing to a family picture we were going to get. Nice to have it, though!

A Blurry Easter Egg Hunt

 For some reason my camera was set to some wonky setting and I didn't notice it all during our Easter Egg hunt on Easter morning. I can't NOT document the event, so pardon the pictures. It's not your eyes...

The early bird gets the worm and Wallace was up first, so he found the first egg!

 Coen ate the first one, however. Crackers in that one!

 Wallace followed suit shortly after.

 I think the favorite treat this year was "Cars" stickers.

Counting the eggs...

 ...and grouping them. :) He liked the animal ones the best. Probably because the animal ones had jelly beans in them. ;)

 Cutie pie!

 The baskets were a little....lacking this year. Easter kind of sneaked up on me, I'll be honest.

 Kiddos don't mind though. :)
