Taekwondo and Gymnastics are done for fall.

Last class of Taekwondo for the term...the kids loved it and it was so fun they could do together.

Gymnastics finished this week too.

First ice skating trip at the mall...they loved it!

They both did really good. We will go again soon.

Sitting on Santa's lap...somehow they both made the nice list even though they were on the naughty list pretty much all week...ha.

Decorating for Christmas and zoo lights....

Got the tree up...a little blurry. December 1st. The kids couldn't wait!

The first year we have a real mantel...thanks daddy.

All bundled for zoo lights

The Wilde family joined us

Beach Weekend.....

The Oregon Coast is so beautiful...rain or shine.

We went to watch the Civil War after this beach trip and poor Beavs!

Selfies all bundled

Beaver Believers

Thanksgiving week...Troy was home. We did some fun activities. I worked Thanksgiving and Troy got one photo from dinner at his parents. Oh dad's and getting the photos....ha.

We went to OMSI with Andee's bestee Avery. So fun.

Rose came home from school for lunch and a playdate. Andee loves dress up.

Love the water colors....not so messy.

Andee and her cousin Savanna. That is the only photo from Thanksgiving this year. They had fun with the cousins.

Barron didn't want a party, but wanted to have a special day with his best friend. Troy and I made it extra special. Andee stayed home with a babysitter and we spent the whole day out with them. It was awesome!

We started at the nickle arcade Wunderland......so fun. I think Troy was more into the games than the boys.

Laughing planet for lunch. They won some loot at the arcade...Troy won them a lot of tickets.

Time for some rock climbing

Barron

Jackson. Both boys did awesome

Then to the fun park with the ninja training course (that's what barron calls it). 

Then to the dollar store...they each got $5 and were in heaven. That was Barron's wish for his birthday.

Then home for a quick break and to get Andee for dinner.

Dinner at the lasar tag pizza place. Pizza two nights in a row. Barron is holding a wet cloth on his lips because they are so chapped from licking them. After dinner Troy and the boys played laser tag and Andee and I hung out an waited. 

Then home for the pinata.  

Frosty the Snowman and popcorn and then to bed. The boys fell right asleep. Troy and I did too...whew.
