Time to Decorate!

Today Carson got to stay up and help me decorate the house for Christmas. We decided to do it while Ashton was taking a nap! Carson helped decorate the Christmas tree.


Then we decorated the window with snowflakes and put up the manger scene.



Ashton is also very interested in the tree. We will see how many times we tell him "No" before he finally gets it. I'm guessing it will be next Christmas!

Thankful for Family

On Thanksgiving we went up to Brainerd for the day to spend it with Paul's family. The boys had fun riding the 4-wheeler. They each got to ride on it three times. Paul was a little cold after all of the rides.



They also got to play with their cousin, Anthony and spend quality time with Grandma.



It was a very nice, relaxing day with a lot of good food!

Hanging out with Grandma

Grandma W. took the train down last weekend for Celeste's baby shower (Travis's girlfriend). The boys had a good time hanging out with Grandma.


Carson even let her take a nap with him. She must be special because he doesn't ever let mom or dad take naps in his bed.


Then Grandma had to fill in for Grandpa, since he wasn't able to come down, by hanging everyone upside down. They didn't give up and Grandma was tired!

Get to work!

We put Ashton and Carson to work a couple of weekends ago. Ashton helped dad sweep out the garage and Carson helped mom vacuum out daddy's car and the car seats.

Halloween Birthday Party

On Saturday we went to Gabby's first birthday party. She enjoyed her cake.


And then everyone helped her open her presents.


The boys had fun jumping in the bounce house and doing flips!



We then had to feed everyone before it was time for trick-or-treating!


Carson was Lightening McQueen's Pit Crew and Ashton was a very scary lion.




It was actually pretty nice out and everyone had fun and got lots of candy. Carson was a little tired, so Ashton had to push him home!
