Christmas Tree Hunt and Breakfast with Santa

Here is last weekend in a few pictures. We went out and cut down our Christmas tree and had breakfast with Santa!

Craft time while we wait for Santa to arrive.

Samuel was very willing to sit on Santa's lap this year and tell him all about the Star Wars Legos he would like him to bring. No tears from Liam. He still wanted to be close to daddy but did tell Santa he wants a baby doll.

Last Sunday we took some time out of our afternoon to go over to Potterville to the Pumpkin Patch. We joined a lot of Mikes family and let the kiddos wear their costumes. Here are a few pictures...

Cousins

Over Labor day weekend Angie, Caleb and Deacon were in town for Tara's wedding. It was crazy to see Deacon after only seeing pictures for the past three months. He is defiantly grown up and is a big boy now! Despite the weather we were able to capture a few pictures of the cousins. Here they are.
Samuel 4 years old, Liam 2 years old, Deacon 5 months oldI look forward to many, many more years of fun and lots of pictures to go along with it.

A Week Full of Firsts

This week was a busy week around our household. Tuesday marked the beginning of a new school year for Mike and I. Samuel started 4 year old preschool on Wednesday and had his first soccer game this morning. We are all a bit tired and wondering how the rest of the busy fall will go. Here are a few pictures of Samuel's firsts this week.

Branch County 4-H Fair

Last week was the Branch County 4-H Fair. Wednesday morning I was able to take the summer school kiddos I have been working with so Mike and the boys joined us. We made it through all the animal barns and stayed far away from all the rides, games and fair food. They loved it and we all got our fill! Mike was left in charge of the camera...here are some pics!
