Cookies With Santa At The Treehouse

The Treehouse does this annual event for members of the Treehouse. They call it cookies and milk with Santa, only you don't eat the cookies with Santa. You do get to see Santa in the theater and the expression on Tayson's face was priceless when he came in. So for that reason we will probably be going next year. It was madness though, kids everywhere you turned!! This is Ember posing for the camera.
Here are my two sweet kids. I don't think they knew we were taking there picture!!

The 844

Here is my little Tayson, waiting for the steam engine 844. It comes to Odgen once maybe twice a year and we got to see it come into the Union Station. There were a ton of people there, but we still got to see it.
It was pushing passenger cars. So Tayson thought we could get on and ride it, but that was not the case. They did set up a bridge so you could see inside of it, but there was too many people.
This is the last half of the steam engine. It is the only one in the US that still works. Tayson has watched a dvd on it and would love to ride it sometime!!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. We had the annual Turkey shoot and Tayson found out that he likes to shoot the BB gun. All day long all I heard was how he wanted a BB gun. Of course, I did not take any pictures of the shoot or eating dinner, but I got pictures after. I decided to try and make gingerbread houses. Amanda was great and made the frosting. This is cute Maddy with hers all decorated. I think they turned out good.
Here is my sweet Ember with no clothes on. She was helping with the dishes and was getting all wet so off went the clothes. Her little gingerbread house in pictured there.
You can't see Tayson's face, but that is him decorating his house. We went with a flat roof, it was better for Tay.
Here are my two awesome parents. I am sooo thankful for all they do for me. I couldn't have asked for better parents. Thanks mom and dad for raising me the way you did and for teaching me the value of a good day's work. I love you both and my kids are so lucky to have you as grandparents.
Brice was just wiped out from all of the fun we had. Yes, Tayson is playing the tablet!!
I couldn't leave her out of my post. Her shirt says Grandma's pie taster and she loved the pies. We are truly blessed and couldn't have had a better Thanksgiving.

Treehouse

For Ember's birthday Randy and Valerie got her a pass to the Treehouse. She has been there before, but she did not remember much. She loved the kitchen area and watching the fish. She also loved the area with the huge train you can climb through.
Every time we try and take her picture, she tilts her head back. Sometimes you can get a good picture and this one turned out okay. We had fun the day we went and we be going back.
