I love when the kids bring home craft projects around the holidays. The pumpkin and hand print are Easton's. The hat belongs to Spencer. He told me one morning that he was so excited for his school fest because he was finally going to get to wear his Chicken Hat!
Thanksgiving also means I had a little extra time off this week. I FINALLY got to go have lunch with Spencer at school. Per his request he wanted a cheeseburger happy meal with a Packer toy. He was lucky enough to actually get a Packer football player in his box. You'll have to excuse the Viking fan in the background!

He was so excited to show me what all he plays on at recess. He's our little monkey! He went to all the different monkey bars and showed me how he can skip rings as he goes.
I also got to spend a day at home with him . We brought Sam to Club Jump with us.
Followed up with a McDs lunch (I promise my kids don't eat this much fast food in one week and McDs is my least favorite) Both these little Packer fans were lucky enough to score Viking players in their happy meals this time. We finished our day by seeing the movie Frozen. Only Spencer fell asleep with 30 min left of the movie.
What we are really Thankful for are these crazy boys... Happy Thanksgiving!
They boys love playing with Auntie and my old toys at Grandma's. Ryan showed them how to use the View Finder.
When we got home from Thanksgiving, Elf On The Shelf was waiting for us. He brought Elf themed plates, bowls, cups, and silverware.
The next morning he was busted eating a donut, banana and drinking milk....
Spencer will stare at him a few times a day.
Just checking on him again....
He's also been busy making snowflakes...
Nolan thought my cupboard needed to be reorganized...
Hockey is in full swing.....
Ryan found a way that Easton and Nolan can watch over the boards
Team huddle after practice
Guess what? Our pond is frozen! The boys can't wait every day to go skating on the pond. They love it. They all went on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon.
Ryan cleared a path to the ices
Finally, it was Nolan's turn to put on the skates for the first time. He was so excited to go skating like his brothers.
There he goes! He wasn't fast but it didn't take him long to catch on.
These two are crazy on the ice together....
All 3 boys skating...
After a little bit Nolan insisted he didn't need the trainer or our help. Well, only when he fell, then he needed help getting back up.
Look Out Hockey World!
He's such a ham!
Morning's can be rough...
We invited the neighbors over for playing and pizza. As I looked around our house at all of our friends and their kids I thought to myself how lucky we are to have such good friends and neighbors that we can all just get together and let the kids play. I hope my kids realize as they get older how lucky they were to have that.
Our Christmas decorating is almost complete. Ryan finished the lights on the house. My favorite part of Christmas is the lights.
Each boy decorated their Christmas trees!
I vow to be more organized this year when putting our stuff away. Easton and Nolan's ornaments are lost. So, off to Target we went to buy more. Easton had fun picking out his new ornaments. I'm sure they will be confused when they are adults as to why their ornaments start at the year 2013. We'll probably find theirs next year!
