O Christmas Tree

We normally only have one Christmas tree, but now that our basement has become the toy room (wahoo!!) we decided to put one down stairs that the kids can decorate. Didn't take any pictures of us decorating the one in the living room but took some of the kids one. Keldan hung up most of the ornaments on it, which you can tell when looking at it :) They love it!!

The branches needed a check up ;)

Mikaela was taking her branch with her :) (don't mind the mess in the back (laundry) we are working on that part yet)

Just the lights & garland on it

These photos I took on my phone so there not the best quality and I don't feel like editing them right now..

Keldan hanging up ornaments

Thought this picture was kind of neat

Lucas hung up a couple

and the finished basement :) They get so excited every time we go down.

Pledge Allegiance

As we were waiting in the car line to drop Keldan off at preschool he out of no where puts his hand on his heart and recites the whole Pledge Allegiance. I had no idea he was even learning it! Was so proud of him. Every time I try to tape him saying it he forgets a line as you will hear, but Daddy and the Grandparents have heard him say the whole thing on his own so there is proof he can do it :) Will have to turn it up too, he gets a little video camera shy ;)

Preschool: November

Letters F, G, H. Color- Brown. Shape- Square.

Show & Tell: Something you see in fall (colored leaf)

His class picture :) 

Show & Tell: Letter G (goat)

Last day was wear your favorite hat day, although he was out sick this was the hat he was going to wear.

Trip to the firestation..wasn't able to get any pictures of Lucas but he was there too :) Was a lot different from the first field trip, he is definitely getting use to being with the other kids, actually walked with them :)

In the ambulance

Where they watch tv or play video games. The kids loved their chairs.

Where they sleep

Kind of hard to see but they are watching a guy get dressed in his fire gear. The flash lit up his outfit.

His class with the firefighter, they were not too sure of him in all the gear.

His pilgrim hat that he made :)

Thanksgiving Time

On Thursday we went out to Gram & Gramps' house for some yummy thanksgiving food. Had a wonderful time!

The 3 great-grandgirls. The other boys were not out there so wasn't able to get a picture of them.

Then Friday evening was Grammie & Gramps' house. Had another wonderful evening!! I didn't get many pictures...was a little busy.

This picture is dark but he just has the cutest smile!!

I must have that thing on her head :)

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!

As we were eating breakfast this morning we were talking about it being Thanksgiving so I asked everyone what they were thankful for....

Daddy- the Mighty Merc

Mama- Family

Keldan- Dog (Jasmine)

Lucas- Bumblebee

Mikaela- Food (at least I think that's what she would say if she understood :) )

One evening we went to see cousin Allie in her gymnastics class. Was so much fun! They are soo adorable at that age. I didn't get any good pictures but will share the 2 I did get. Keldan is still talking about her flipping backwards :)

He turned around as the camera clicked.

She's the one up at the bottom of picture in purple.

Movie Night!! We want to start the movie night tradition in our house now that all the kids seem to be on the same schedule. The boys love it.

Some yummy popcorn! Oh and Mikaela's puffs :)

She kept wondering off sitting on her own :)

and another of her sitting by herself. Silly girl.

And of course how else do you watch Spiderman ;)
