The "Lights of Christmas"

On Sunday we headed up to the Warm Beach

Camp for their annual "Lights of Christmas" with

Landen's family. It was so much fun and the kids

really enjoyed looking at everything. Caleb especially

liked Frosty the Snowman and for the first

15 minutes or so he followed Frosty everywhere

(frosty had a stalker). The kids were also able

to see Santa, ride on the Polar Express,

pet some animals, and ride horses, plus see

hundreds of thousands of Christmas lights!

We had such a great time as a family!

Here is out little Halle Rose chewing on an

ornament from the tree! This was also the first

day I was able to put her hair in almost good pigtails :)

So, I have to say that this date went a lot better! First, we had Landen's mom come watch the kids and Landen and I went to our favorite restaurant in Downtown Edmonds, "Chanterelles". I absolutely love this place and the food is really good, if you live in the area, I would definitely recommend it! We then walked around Downtown a little and I got my two nephews their Christmas presents at this cute little toy store- I can't wait till they open them! Landen actually likes this toy store too- so I didn't "drag" him along :)

We then went to our church and went to a concert there with the "Three Wisemen". It was so good! They sang a lot of Christmas songs, and during one of them, some people actually got up and started swing dancing. I really wanted to dance too, but Landen and I are not that good (yet) so we didn't want to embarass ourselves (I really want to take lessons sometime). Landen and I really enjoyed our time together and the kids had a great time with grandma (of course!)

I am looking forward to the next date Landen and I can go on together...

Give Thanks to the Lord for He is Good, His love endures forever!

Our family hopes you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great time in Spokane! We left for Spokane Tuesday night and stayed till Sunday. For Thanksgiving we went to the Well's house (they are good friends from church). Caleb got to play with Emma and it was so cute because she just loved Caleb and followed him everywhere saying "Caleb" "Caleb"- he got a little annoyed, but it was so funny! We had a wonderful dinner, great pies, played Mad Gab, and talked and hung out- Oh and Landen won a trivia game!

On Friday, we didn't purposefully plan on going shopping for "black Friday" but a certain someone was up earlier enough to go shopping (hint: his name starts with a "c"). So Landen took him to Sears so we could all sleep. Later that day, Landen and I went to Red Robin for lunch with gift card he got for his birthday and we ended up getting on the News. KREM 2 filmed us eating- it was pretty funny!

On Saturday we went up to my good friend, Amy's parent's house in Idaho. They have a lot of land and it is tradition to get our Christmas trees there. We had such a great time! We had a wonderful lunch of chili, stew, and cornbread. We then went to get our trees while the babies slept and then played a fun game of "nouns in a bucket".

Sunday we went to church and then took off for another trek across the Pass!
