Wordless Wednesday

Color me Crazy

Eden has been talking about her birthday party all year and had a list of friends she expected to have at her party. We moved away from those friends a month before her birthday but we just had to go back and have that party and I was happy to visit with those moms too! We called it a "Color Me Crazy" party and had a very simple park gathering. They made fruit loop necklaces, colored pictures, colored with chalk and played on the playground for a long time...good times!



I did tell everyone to dress up in crazy mix-match colors but I think everyone forgot and you probably wouldn't even notice that Eden was dressed up because she looks like that all the time anyway!

Birthday Girl

Now I'm catching up a bit, before all of the Thanksgiving craziness, we celebrated Eden's fourth birthday with family and neighbors. This next picture is Eden's face when she saw the new bike from her grandparents.

Mr. and Mrs. Clause

Our kids are getting a lot of time with Mr. and Mrs. Clause this year since they happen to be part of our family!

Date Night with the family

One of my favorite things to do with Sam's family is to hang out with all the grown-ups. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great kids too, but its nice when everyone can relax and not worry about the kids at their heels. We have so much fun when we play games at night after the kids go to bed, but we also try and schedule a date night every time we get together and that is always a blast. This time we went to an Italian place here in town and headed back to an exciting game of scum.

Turkey Ball

The men, boys and Kyren headed out to our backyard for some Thanksgiving football. They even had a few cheerleaders on the side. Other than Jason throwing out his back, good times were had by all !

Other good times...

I didn't take any pictures of a lot of other good times like our visit to the Squeeze Inn (featured on "Diner's, Drive-ins and Dives") and many hours of games, cards, talking and laughing! We also went to the family night at Round Table pizza and there was a lady doing face-painting/arm painting. I didn't take any pictures that night but Jordan insisted I take a picture of his arm before he took a shower. Notice it says "mom"!

The kids listened intently as Granddpa gave the FHE lesson on Monday and then we all headed out to Brain Freeze for some frozen yogurt. Because you put your own toppings on, I think some of the kids had more candy than yogurt!
