Our Tree

We were venturing back to Apple Hill with all the Hunter's to get our Christmas Trees and we were coming from Tracy so Grandma and Grandpa Hill decided to start the adventure with us since they had never been to Apple Hill.  We had a great time checking out the crafts and tasting apple based foods with them and then on to the trees we went.        

 We had to go to 2 lots but our tree was almost the first one that we looked at, at the second one.  

IT'S PERFECT!!!  The boys enjoyed being able to run around and measuring the trees.

 Mom and Trevor didn't have as great a luck as us and they had to search a little harder, but I think we're all very happy with what we got.

 Tyden found this goofy chair and decided he needed a break! 

 Kinny was the proud finder or their tree!

 We all enjoyed some yummy hot chocolate and cookies that Grandma provided after!

Then we came home and decorated!  Those pics must be on my other camera and I'll try to remember to add them later, but here's the final product!

Gingerbread

We made our usual Gingerbread village for mom's counter.  This year she had tree kits for each family and then some of the kids made other houses to go with.  Terry had to help our kids because I was at the ER with Kasen for Croup.  Luckily they weren't finished when we got back so Kasen did get to help a little, but we forgot to get the camera back out so we don't have a picture of him.

Terry's B-day

Terry and Ryan got to celebrate their Birthday's together since we were all together and the birthday's are only a few days apart, Ryan is MUCH older of course (only like 3 years really).  First we had dinner of home made corndogs that were soooo good!  We even made mini ones using lil smokies.

 They both had many kid helpers of course.  I think 2 of Kasen could fit in those shorts :)

 They took turns blowing out candles in a pumpkin crumb cake.

 About a week later we went to the Hills and he got a few more presents and they took us all out to Baskin Robins for Ice Cream, which is Terry's Favorite!!

Thanksgiving

Apparently I was a little busy that day since the only picture I have is of the tables before we ate. We had a great meal though with the Collins', Davis', Grandma and Grandpa Hunter and Us. The three little kiddos got their own private table and thought it was the best! The Reinhardts joined us later for dessert.

We all went to Gray Lodge and had a very enjoyable scenic walk. The weather was perfect, the birds, not so much. There were only about half as many as the last time we were there.

All the kids had a great time playing together, weather it was outside on the tramp, painting, building a fort under the pool table, or getting out every toy they could find in the playroom :)

Lexi wrote a little Thanksgiving play that these 4 performed for everyone. It was about 3 minutes long including a song. Very CUTE!!
