Staying Warm This Weekend

The Old Cannery
We visited the Old Cannery in our lovely town of little ole' Sumner Saturday. It really is a fun place for the whole family over many holidays.
They had horse and carriage rides and Santa pics. this weekend both of which were free. The lights over the bridge were really fun to see as we drove over.

JP Pathches my absolute childhood FAVORITE!
As we looked through the the ten acres of fabulous furniture, Josh was content to stand on this adorable little kid recliner chair watching the train town. We had to pry him off of it when it was time to go. We found a few pieces of furniture, including a really cool grandfatherish clock (but totally made to look old fashion) that I will dream about...the pieces actually match some of our furniture that we ended up with from Matts grandparents, I'll dream for now but maybe some day! Ellie on the other hand really needs a bed and a dresser, poor little girl...she's just kind of been making do with a few mattress piled on the floor to resemble a bed and plastic bins for her clothes in her closet. So she will be priority & first and for most! That with some much needed paint in our home will be on our NEW YEARS RESOLUTION list.

The Girls Friends B-day at MC'Y D'S
We went to the Sauleyce's b-day party at McDonalds after our visit to the Old Cannery.

SNOW!
And Lo & Behold, the prayers of our children were answered...it started to snow on our way home from the party! Yippy, it'll be fun to have some of this beautiful white stuff over the holiday season!!! Maybe we'll have a white Christmas this year, or is that too unheard of around here???

WARD CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
The kids sang in the program at our Christmas party at church over the weekend, my kids are in the picture above somewhere. We brought our neighbors the Thomas family w/ us & some of their kids went up and joined ours on stage, it was cute.

Josh is dragging Ellie down the stairs after their performance.


Spencer leaving the stage.

There's Jarom as well.

MR. INDEPENDENT
PJ time & Decisions, Decisions....I took these pj pictures last week. Josh and his two year old independence comes out in the evening hours after bath time when he chooses his own pjs (of course after throwing them all on the floor.) Then he gives every effort to dress himself saying "I do it, I do it," until he realizes he needs moms help most of the time. My how it would save time if he'd just let me dress him from the beginning, I get to learn patience as he learns to dress himself. Decision made & all dressed!

JOSH'S 1st FRIEND B-DAY PARTY
Josh went to his first friend b-day party (he's been to his share of cousin parties) but this was his first FRIEND party, the little neighbor boy Mitchell down the street is a month apart from Josh, he had his 2nd b-day party this afternoon & Spencer and Josh both got to go.Josh taking his turn pulling the string on Mr. Curious George Pinata.
