Photos with Santa

Yesterday we went to a "country" store by in Simpsonville. They rescue animals and find homes for them. They had Santa there for photos with pets. We put the whole family in the picture. We even convinced Jenny to join us. We were so lucky to get everyone, especially Paisley, looking at the camera. After the photo, each child was able to tell Santa what they want for Christmas.

Taking Photos

These kiddos are great subjects. They were so good for me. Saige and Malia have been sooo excited to wear their new dresses and shoes. I love getting new pictures of them. They had so much fun finding pretty leaves and sticks. Saige even brought her leaves home. I cannot convince her that it will not stay pretty forever.

Painting Pumpkins

Every year after Halloween, we paint our pumpkins. The kids really look forward to this.

We had a beautiful day for this activity. They all did a great job with their pumpkins. They are all very creative. They love to paint. Saige had a blast just mixing the colors. Chi painted funny faces on his. Noah painted different things from the life of Jesus. Malia painted lots of polka dots all over her pumpkin. I had so much fun seeing their ideas come to life.

Happy Halloween

We had sooo much fun trick or treating on Friday night! The kids got way too much candy. Mom and Dad came over for chili and walked around the neighborhood with us. The weather was perfect. It is so much fun to watch all of the kids. They were having a blast running from house to house. We are so blessed to live in such a nice neighborhood. We had such a great night!
