A few Random Pics before Thanksgiving

In an attempt to keep playing massive catch up on my poor neglected little blog, here are some random pics I have from the weekend after my Birthday until Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving will hopefully be my next blog. Bare with me my faithful & devoted followers :)

The weekend after my Birthday my sweet friends all got together for Brunch. One of my good friends, Betsy (she moved a few months back back to AZ where she is from), came to visit for the weekend. So the Brunch was partly since she was in town and partly for my Birthday. I am so blessed with some awesome Girlfriends.

To end our fun weekend while Betsy was in town we went to Church together in the morning,

and ended with a nice Bronco Win that night!

My friend Betsy brought the kids some sweet little gifts when she was here. Owen got this really neat Dinosaur Excavating Block. He is obsessed with Dino’s & Dino Bones so this was a BIG hit. You get to dig through the tough sand, find all the bones, and then glue them together to make a Dino Skeleton.

Seriously, can she get any cuter?????

Owen got to be in this really adorable Music Video at our wonderful Church. They helped decorate the stage for Christmas and then they all sang some fun Christmas songs. They played the video at the Christmas Church service. It was a great way to involve the kiddos since it’s such a big church :)

Just in case you were wondering, Owen is the first row of standing children smack in the middle. See him? Lol

And as usual, little sis got dragged along. She is such a good sport and a very supportive little sis, she was cheering him on in the Audience.

The snowy season started….

Autumn got some foam rollers for her hair…

Honestly, what little girl didn’t grow up with foam rollers? It’s like a right of passage as a little girl.

And Owen’s school was having a Food Drive so Owen decided to take the money from his ‘Give’ Piggy Bank (he has a give, spend, & save bank) to go buy some food to donate. It was so sweet, even little sis wanted to participate. Brandon and I told them we would match whatever amount they came up with together and then we went shopping. It was a great experience getting the kiddos involved in the ‘giving’ spirit.

They even got to pay by themselves with all their change at the self check out. They had a blast and Owen was shocked at how little you get on a budget…welcome to my world kid!

I think that just about catches us up to Thanksgiving(ish). Wowzer, lot’s of blogging left to go!
