Tradition After Thanksgiving

So it's been tradition for me to put up the Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving. Something I inherited from my mom. This year I had all three girls to help me so putting it up went a lot faster than normal. Here is the progression of our work.

We got all the branches on, now time for the ornaments. I have to divide them evenly between the girls or they have a fit that one has more than the other. Plus I have to divide the really nice ones evenly between them too. Seems like more work dividing than just putting them on. Sheesh! Oh well at least everyone is happy. I thought this was a funny picture because I had the camera on timer so I could be in the picture too. And well I guess I wasn't fast enough. I got faster after each one. Hehehe!

These pictures were Selena's idea while I was busy. Notice Sora had to change her clothes.

Well the girls are all dressed for the day and I have the ornaments divided. So now it's time to decorate. Have at it girls.

The end result. Not too bad. I try to tell them not to put all the same colors in one area. I think they did a fantastic job! Okay, so I went and moved a few around afterwards but so what, that's the OCD in me.

I love this picture because it shows each girls personality.

Alegria - Cirque Du Soleil

The few times Rocky and I have been down to Vegas we've seen Ka and O by Cirque Du Soleil. We L.O.V.E. their shows. So we always talked about taking the girls to see them. But when you get the chance to go to Vegas, do you really want to take your kids with you?

Well fortunately, Cirque Du Soleil travels. And guess what? They came to Boise, Idaho. So of course we jumped at the opportunity to take our girls. Found a babysitter for Oloiso (thanks Auntie Summer), and took the girls. It was a surprise so they had no idea where we were taking them.

They were performing at the Taco Bell Arena so we purchased tickets and surprised our girls.

They still have no idea what it's about but excited any ways.

Then they saw the show and were just amazed. They loved it!

Money well spent to see the excitement and awe on their faces during the performance.

You can't take pictures during the performance so I had to get some off the Internet.

We would definitely recommend this to anyone. It was a wonderful time spent with our girls.

This smile is Infectious

So this is how I found my baby boy when he woke up this morning. How did he get his arm out? Crazy kid!

This has to be one of my absolutely favorite pictures of this little guy. I just LOVE his smile and his cute little face. Sporting the beanie nana made him.

Our little guy is getting around just fine and getting into everything. One of his favorite things to do is to climb on the stack of diapers. His cute little face and his tiny hands.

Now tell me. . .this smile makes you want to smile, right? Such a bright, happy face.

Trunk or Treat

I took the girls to the ward trunk or treat Halloween party. Good food, good company. Yeah, I didn't have an outfit to dress Olo in. Sorry.

The girls dressed up as . . . I'm not really sure.

Olo trying to wear Olivia's wig. The thing is bigger than he is.

Faces

Is this considered child abuse?

Ha! Nonetheless, it cracks us all up. Including baby.

Two Peas in a Pod

These two can always get me to smile. Oloiso playing with his daddy!

They both adore each other.

Daddy kept pushing his head down and Olo would pop it up. He thought it was a funny game.

He's climbing from the recliner to the love seat.

Silly boy!
