Merry Christmas to all! We woke up this morning to a bit of snow! Just about 19 inches so far! Kids were up at 6:30 and then the tornado began! Grandma and Grandpa Pearson brought the City Truck with the plow and 4 wheel drive for breakfast! Everyone is happy and warm. Best wishes to all of you! Merry Christmas!!!!!

Wow What a Morning!!!

My cute little Songbirds!

The annual festival of trees was last weekend. On friday they always have the kids presenting Christmas songs. This year was a special presentation and the kids did some sign language and their music teacher did a great job. They sang beautifully!
Photographer issues! I couldn't catch a good picture of C.L.
However Darci listened to the music really well. I am still hearing "Jingle Bells"
and her favorite line "Somebody snitched on me"

Trimming the Tree

Christmas Tree 2008 I was not really motivated to get the tree out this year, so I told the kids if they would clean the house I would put it up. They did the rest! I have enjoyed looking at the lower cluster of ornaments and thinking about how much fun they all had decorating it.

Say CHEESY!

Supervisor in Training! Darci had to make sure she showed Daddy

every ornament that she loved!

Entertainment

Traveling to Utah we always find something to entertain along the way. Darci decided that her fruit snacks were really cool stuck to her eyes. Always something with that girl!

Chili Cook-Off Champion 2008

Chili Cook-Off Champion Prize

C.L. sporting his flashlights that he won from playing Bingo!
Darci with her furry purple hat from Bingo!

I think they gave her a prize so she would quit eating the markers which were candy corn.

Saturday was the Lost River Ward Chili Cook-off and Fall party! I was away all afternoon on Saturday doing a Pampered Chef party, so Carson decided to try his hand at making chili. This was his first attempt ever at making chili, so he was just gald that it tasted pretty good. (That is what he said when I asked him about it!) Well, he was dubbed the champion! He was pretty excited and I have to say he had some steamy competition (I had to test the other kinds). The activity directors went all out! The kids came home with prizes from Bingo and everyone came home happy!

Halloween 2008

Trick-or-Treat! Sweet and Innocent our little Tinkerbell may not be, But she sure is cute! She was so proud of her eyelashes that she pointed them out all night when she went into houses. She left them on for 3 hours!

Spooky - Creepy, Well that sums up my beautiful little spider witch. A knack for the drama! She was a beautiful spider witch!

The finished product from the last post! Jack-o-Lantern's on display! It was a great night and these little guys were still shining bright at 5am the next morning when we headed out to Utah!

C.L was the "Gatekeeper". He decided he would try his hand at creepy this year. At least we can still see his beautiful blue eyes! All three kids had a great time trick-or-treating and came home with enough candy to last till Christmas!
