Church Christmas Party

We had our Christmas Party at church the Friday before Christmas. They had desserts (I didn't have a single one) And then we sang Christmas songs and a few people sang solos/duets/group songs for us and all the kids got up and sang for us as well. And after that there was a visit from Santa. It was a pretty fun party.

Kennadee's Class Holiday Party

I went and volunteered at Kennadee's class Holiday Party the Friday before Christmas break. First they did a jingle bell walk in the freezing cold wind and all the little Kindergartners were freezing and crying it was horrible. Then we went in and had lunch and then we had the party.       They got to decorate sugar and gingerbread cookies and some of the parents brought other treats so they ate sugar to their hearts content. One of the little girls in the class actually threw up because she ate too much sugar poor thing! Here are some pics of the fun:

Kennadee's Kindergarten Nutcracker Performance

Last night was Kennadee's first school performance. She did so great! She was really nervous but she did it anyway. It was so fun to watch her. I am trying to upload the video but it's not working so I will post it when I can. Here are some pics of her with her classmates after the performance.

Outside Christmas Lights

Here are some pictures of our Christmas lights outside this year. They are a little dark but you get the general idea.

Some Christmas Pictures

Here are a couple of pics I took with my new camera in front of our Christmas tree. My little girl is growing up too quickly!! 

Some of our Christmas Decorations

This year we have had a blast decorating for Christmas just like every other year!! Haha!! Here are some pictures of some of the things we have put up this year:

 Our first artificial Christmas Tree

 Our Christmas Village 

 I have always wanted a white tree with black decorations so we finally got one!

Our 2010 Snowman Ornament (we get a new one every year) 

Halloween 2010!

!! Warning lots of pictures but they are worth checking out!!!

This year was a really fun Halloween. First Kennadee got to carve pumpkins in her class and I was able to go help. Since I was up to my elbows in pumpkin goop I wasn't able to take pictures but it was really fun!
 For her school costume parade they said the rules were their costume had to be a character from a book. I found that out Tuesday of this week and had already bought her costume which was not a storybook character so last minute I made a long braid out of yarn and put her in one of her dress up dresses and she went as Rapunzel! She was soo cute!! I wish I would have thought of that before I bought her Halloween costume because it would have saved me 20 bucks!

On Saturday we went to Russell's School Halloween Carnival with his Mom and niece Adrianna. It was fun they had a bounce house and a little train and some fun games. 

Kennadee and I all ready for Halloween! 

 

Russell got a Spiderweb painted on his face.

 After the carnival we went to the Manor Ghost Town to look around. This place was so cool!! Kennadee loved looking at all the scary stuff! We will definitely be going there again! I got some really fun pictures there. Check 'em out!

After we were done at the Ghost Town we went to our Ward Trunk-or-Treat party. It was really fun they had a Chili cook off and games and a cupcake walk and trick or treating it was really fun!!
