We put up our Christmas decorations this past weekend and the kids had a great time. I told Ethan Friday night that we would put them up "tomorrow." First thing Saturday morning he was begging to put them up so... we started early. Here they are putting the lights in the ceramic tree that Mommy made several years ago.

Trystan's idea of helping.

"Emma that tree is bigger than you are."

Quite the actor we have here.

We had a little photo shoot out in the leaves while the weather was nice this week.

I love this picture of him.

This evening we went to a Pirate birthday party and the kids had a lot of fun. Emma was even in costume.

We tried to get a group photo shoot of everyone that was in costume.

My two little darling pirates.

These two pictures have to be my favorites. This is Ethan will Ellie, a friend from church. Here he looks just over-joyed to be having his picture made with her, although she does seem to be happy.

Here he just looks like a little stud.

They had a pinata and Ethan had never seen one of these before. He was confused because he had also never played with swords and he just couldn't understand what was up with all of the violence at this party.

Emma with her loot (aka goodie bag)

Ethan was soooooo tired after having Benjamin stay the night last night and then going to the party that he was in bed by 7:30 tonight. Woo Hoo!

So today we went to the library for story time. It was about cars and truck, which Ethan loved. These pics are from our new camera and I am still trying to figure out how to use it so....

We played outside for a while and I wanted to see if I could figure out some of the different settings. Still learnging but anyhow, there are some cute pics of the kiddos enjoying this nice fall weather.
