Lights in the South Hill

The other day as family we went to the South Hills to see the lights. For those not from the Twin area, there's a house in the middle of the hills with on a few neighbor mostly cows and sage brush. the man there has so may light to attract people to drive all the way out there. He adds new lights every year, Santa is there the week of Christmas, and he has a camel the kids can feed. There is no charge, but there is a tip box to help him pay his electric bill. We go every year and the kids love it. Sam's favorite was the Santa on ther motorcycle and the Homer Simpson lights. Janika loved Rudolph, Kylie loved the cupcake lights, and Xander loved EVERY Light. My favorite is the camel, but the kids weren't in to him at all.

Pictures with Santa

Festival of Tree

Every year Sam's office decorated a tree for the Festival of Trees which benefits the local hospital. This year's theme they picked was "Family Game Night". The ornaments are made out of old game pieces that we have been collecting through out the year. The skirt is the boards from the games. The tree topper is Mr Potatohead as Santa.The pictures don't did it justice. They did an amazing job. It was one of the few that

wasn't a Christmas theme.

Snowman

We have had a lot of snow in the past week. We even got a snow day out of it. As a family we have been enjoying the snow. The girls made their first snowman. I know Janika's 5 and just built her first snowman. We haven't got this much snow all at once since we moved back to Twin.


Janika got the great idea to take the sled down the slide, it didn't end how I thought.

Thanks Giving

I lost my pictures from thanksgiving and found them today and thought I probly should post them. The girls made their own turkey shirts for the special day. They thought it was cool to color on their clothes. I had found the idea on a blog and knew it was prefect for my girls. As for thanksgiving we had a small but fun thanksgiving. It was us, Sam's friend Erik from Chiropractic school, and then Adams. It was a great day of food, 5 pies, fun, and laughter.

Mini Bruin Cheerleaders

The Twin Falls High School Cheerleads have a fundraiser every year where they teach little girls to cheer. This is the first year that I had heard of it. They teach ages preschool to 6th grade. So both Janika and Kylie were able to participate . They had 3 practices and then a performance. To night was the performance and they did very will. We made BIG bowes, did their make up and hair. They had a blast being cheerleaders and hanging out with the HS cheerleads. Kylie even says she has a new friend. One of the cheerleader took a liking to Kylie. Here are some picture of the evening.

Halloween 2010

Halloween was full of partys and fun. We have been busy this past week with school and ward partys along with trick or treating. The girls of course loved every moment. Xander on the other hand was just trying to take it all in. And has a new love for suckers. However the girls know this and are always trying to give him one with out asking. I had to explain that he can't be crawling around with it, he has to be in his highchair. This years costume were, Janika a purple and black witch, Kylie a pink fairy, and Xander a dragon. Sam is very excited for next year, he came home with Supergirl customs for the girls.
