Last weekend we went to the Christmas tree patch held by the firefighters up here in the high dez. and put up our Christmas Tree!! (8 feet Tall) I was very surprised that I had such good helpers Tanner made sure that every ornament was on that tree, and he has supervised our tree everyday since it has been up! Lol

Our visit with Santa !!

It was so much fun, we took the kids and met up with some friends and my cousin Ryan and we went to the Bass Pro shop in Rancho Cucamonga to see Santa! We only grabbed one pass so the kids all squeezed in together LOL! Tanner told Santa he wants lot's of toys and I heard Alyssa say that she wants a Zhu Zhu pet (too cute) ! The kids also got to make some Christmas Ornaments and play some games up stairs with Robby.

Happy Turkey Day !!!

We had a very nice (but small) Thanksgiving this year, it was basically just us and my cousin Ryan and his daughter Alyssa who came later in the evening. This was the 1st time that I cooked a turkey and it turned out really well thanks to my hubby helping too. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
