Grandpa Great's Visit

Aspen was so excited last year when Bluff Ridge Elementary had their reading program based on Grandpa Great's story Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot. She has excited to become the school's celebrity as his Great-granddaughter.

When Aspen found out that Grandpa was going to come stay the night she asked him if could be her show and tell. He said yes and on pajama day he came to the school and they had an impromptu assembly.

We are so lucky to have such an amazing patriarch in our family. Grandpa, we love you.

Updates Galore

So my dear friend Kalani sent me a message today saying I needed to add Christmas Pictures to my blog. Well, I didn't think any so was happy to realize that I had taken a couple on Christmas morning. Unfortunately, when I came onto my blog I realized how long it had been since I had updated so I have added plenty of additional pictures of what has been going on in our household since September.

The girls were excited to see that Santa had used our wrapping paper to wrap their presents they decided that it had to be because the desk was much to hard to wrap prior to bringing it down the fireplace. They had a great morning playing with their new toys prior to going to Grandma and Grandpa Halvorsen's house. We spent Christmas Eve with Grandma Hanne and Grandpa Davis.

As a family we like to go do things together on Boyd's Day off on this particular day we went and spent some wonderful time playing in the leaves and on the playground at Liberty Park. The girls really enjoy the out doors and spending time together.

Dylan is the only one that had keep her hair done by this time of day.

Aspen had so much fun climbing up and jumping off of this piece of equipment. (I have no idea what it is called and decided I would make my hubby happy and not call it a thing.)

The girls wanted to go trick or treating at Grandma Hanne's and Grandpa Davis' before we went out in our neighborhood. I made their costumes this year but didn't quite get Dylan's finished because my machine decided to die before it was completed. She ended up being a Monkey but it was perfect because she is our little Monkey. She cannot go anywhere without jumping off of anything that she can.

Aspen was the cutest witch I have seen in a long time.

So cute.

I love my sister.

My three beauties.

Me and my fingers. Dylan is such a cutie with her fingers in her mouth. Fortunately she isn't sucking them quite as often as she has in the past.
