This isn't a very good picture but I had to get one before they get tossed. We made one at home and then Carli's class made one at school. Sydnee made one at Young Women's but it had some structural problems and didn't really work too well. But ,all of the yummies that the kids have picked off as they pass by have tasted great I'm sure! Sydnee isn't in the picture because she leaves so darn early and we never have a spare minute before she is out the door.

Thanksgiving
Getting ready to FRY the bird!
Bret Burkinshaw came to visit with his girls. The kids had a blast playing in the snow and of course doing a big SHOW in the basement. Anytime you have a lot of GIRLS together you can almost always count on a show. It was pretty cute. This was the first time Del and I haven't been with any family for Thanksgiving and I was nervous to cook 'the meal'. Del deep fryed our bird so I didn't have to worry about that. Bret was my helper in the kitchen and the kids had fun setting the table and sampling the rolls.

Bret - so domestic!
Carli, Marley, and Maddie "toasting" to a great Thanksgiving Dinner.
Rock Band
Del does this every year - He'll bring something home a week or two before Christmas that we really should just wait and give the kids for Christmas. I'm not complaining because we have had a lot of fun but I just think it's funny because he really does this EVERY year. Anyways, Rock Band is a hit! We had the Jensen Family over last Monday night to play and the adults and the kids were fighting over who got to do what. Carli and Jolie and Savanna went down to the basement and found some "props" in our dress up bin. One of them was a mullett wig. It was pretty funny! Lindsey has decided have her birthday party in February be a "Battle of the Bands".
Such concentration!

Carli's Birthday Party
Even though Carli's birthday was in October we didn't get around to having a party until the middle of November. There is a store called 'Nicky Nicole' that has all kinds of girly stuff and they do birthday parties and that is what she wanted. It was the easiest party I have EVER done. We just showed up and they did everything from getting the girls changed into their 'fashion show' attire to making bracelets to writing down the gift list. It was great and Carli had a fun time. I can't believe she is 7! (even though she acts like she is 17 sometimes) Our baby is growing up!
Lindsey and Paige were good sports and participated in the party. I don't really know how much fun it was for them but Carli was happy they were there!
Del looked a little out of place in that Girly Girly store! Oh, wait, he is used to that kind of stuff!
Dance Party
Catching Up - November 2008
I have a few things to catch up on. Here are some pictures of when Lori and Paige came to visit us in November.
It was so fun to have them out here. Lori hadn't been out to visit us and it was Paige's second trip. It's always so fun to have visitors!
