Decorating for Christmas

The day after Thanksgiving, we spent the evening at my mom's decorating her tree and taking pictures. The kids got to open one present. Katherine get her own digital camera. She says it the best present ever!

Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving Day, we spent the afternoon at my Aunt Evelyn's house. Two of my cousins were in town with their families. In the evening, some of us went to my mom's house and played WII until late at night.

When everyone was together, there was a total of 9 kids there. They played together really well. Unfortunatly, we didn't get a picture of all of them together as we usually do.

Zoo Day

The day before Thanksgiving was beautiful, so Mom and I took the kids to the zoo for the afternoon.



I had to get a picture of this. Joey was determined to read the map and tell us all where to go.

The school had a Thanksgiving lunch and the kids gave a short program dressed like indians. Katherine sang, but Joseph wasn't very happy about being in front of all the parents. He looked like he was going to cry through the entire thing, and he never really moved.

Branson Trip

Last weekend, we went to Branson with my parents and my niece, Kyler.

We went down into the Talking Rocks Caverns.

We spent one day at Silver Dollar City. It is decorated for Christmas and was beautiful.

We saw "Noah - The Musical". It was a very elaborate production with real animals. Joseph slept through part of it, but the girls loved it. This is the Christmas tree outside of the theater.

We spent some time shopping at Branson's Landing.

Halloween 2008

Like we do each year, we took the kids to the Night of the Living Zoo.

The kids had a party at school. They got to go in their costumes.

We went trick-or-treating on Halloween night.

Birthday Party

We had a birthday party on 10/18 to celebrate Katherine turning 6 and Joseph turning 3.
