Chimney fun!

How does Santa bring your presents into the house?.........down the chimney of course!

I have never seen one of these before, until now, when I helped Andy put it together. Its almost as old as he is.......his parents have kept it all these years. It looks like a real fireplace, huh? (ha ha)

This is perfect for an apartment or home that doesn't have one (ha ha).......especially if you have kids that believe in Santa (ha ha ha). Its just a cardboard project that takes about 15-20mins to put together.......its so cool!

Andy & Kaleb are trying to keep their hands warm (ha ha ha)

Lana wants everyone to have a 'Merry Christmas'!

TEAM JACOB!!

Yip, I'm one of those Twilight fans.......but I wasn't a fan of this movie. It was good, but not GREAT! I had a hard time getting into that book too, so that's probably why I didn't love the movie as much. I LOVED the werewolves & wanted more......and I'm sorry girls, but I still think that Edward isn't all that cute.

Thanks to 'Gordon Family Dental' we were able to go to an earlier showing of the movie! We also had Andys sister Debbie & her friend Tiffany come with us - it was fun! We were able to eat dinner while watching the movie & I loved that!

I think I need to watch it again......maybe I'll like it more the 2nd time.
I wonder if Andy is up for it - he doesn't look that excited (ha ha)
He loved it! Thanks for taking me honey, you're the best!

Cousins Sleepover!

I don't recall ever having a sleepover when I was little - but watching these kids most of the night was pretty cute. As I am writing this post, Kaleb & Lana are still taking naps.....yip, exhausted!

They all seem to be dancing, but there is no music playing (ha ha).......they are soooo entertaining!

We missed you Marsh!!

Trick or Treat!!

Who is this intimidating Autobot, you ask?

Its my big boy, Kolby 'Optimus Prime'!

Who is this superhero with the huge muscles?

Its my bodyguard, Kaleb 'The Dash'!

Who is this beautiful Princess?

Its Keilana 'Snow White'!

We had such a fun Halloween - we carved our pumpkins that day (ha ha, unlike those who carve theirs for FHE the week before).......we ate delicious 'chilli in a pumpkin'.......took the kids trick-or-treating in the neighborhood........and then had cousins come over.

The Nielson Clan!

L to R: Annamarie (Duck), Lucas (Dragon), Ela (Witch), Claudia (Witch), Kaleb, Lana, Kolby, Me (something in the medical field, ha ha ha), Debbie (Princess) & Tink (Pony)

I hope that everyone had a fun & safe Halloween!!

Yeah, I'm sure people wondered WHY I carved my pumpkin this way! (ha ha)
