Busy time of the Year!

This has been a busy time of year so far. The kids are growing like weeds. Zoey is now 1 and is walking all over the place. She believes she is the boss; she gives Zack a run for his money already. She now has 8 teeth and the 9th one is trying to come in.

Zack is 3 1/2 now. He love his little sister but gets mad at her when she tries to take his transformers from him. Zack is into Transformers and Dinosaurs. He can tell you the names of the transformers and if they are a desepticon or an autobot. He says that Santa is making all the transformer toys for him cause Santa wants Zack to have them. Here is a picture of Zack and his Dinosaurs.

My sister (Auntie) came up for Halloween and went with me to take Zack and Zoey Trick or Treating. Zoey was Tinkerbell and Zack was Bubble Bee (Transformer). Zack did not want to go at first; before we left the house he could not make up his mind what he wanted to do. He kept saying he wanted to go and then when we would start getting ready he would say not i don't want to go. After we left the house he thought it was fun for a little while then wanted to go back home and play because he said, "he was done!" We could not even coax him into going around more, so we went back to the house. It was fun to see him trick or treating. If he new the people he would say "Trick or Treat" loud enough for them to hear him. If he did not know them then he would say it so low that Auntie and myself could not even hear him. All in all we had a good time. Brooke was up at her grandma & grandpa's for Halloween, so she stopped by the house to see us and the kids. She was a prom queen for Halloween.

Thanksgiving has come and gone again. We were lucky enough to be able to spend Thanksgiving with both sides of the family. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed being with everyone. The Friday following Thanksgiving my mom, Zack, Zoey and myself pulled out our Christmas decorations and put up the tree. Zack enjoyed doing this a lot. Zoey just wanted to play with the decorations. Zack decided to put on the Santa Hat and bottom tree skirt. We also decorated the outside of the house. It is simple but cute.

We were able to have Brooke on her birthday. We had her a birthday party over at Grammie Ellie and Pa Bill's house. Aunt Jenny, Uncle Scott, Bridget, Price, and Carter also came up. It was fun and we had a nice get together. Here are a couple of pictures from the party. The kids had so much fun.

Now we are just a couple of days away from Christmas. The excitement is getting to Zack. We woke up this morning to frozen hail on the ground. Zack thought that it was snow and that Santa was on his way. He is anxiously waiting for Santa to bring him his presents. We will let you know how Christmas turns out.

Stay safe and we hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
