Decorating the Xmas Tree

We all had a great time decorating the Xmas tree this year. Kayla really liked helping put up the ornaments and so far has been really good about not yanking them down. She also loves the choo choo train that we set up around the tree. It felt like a really special moment decorating the tree with our little girl for the first time :-)

Getting the Xmas Tree

We went out to a Xmas tree farm out in Middleton with Grandma, Tiara, and Emry to get our tree for the year. We finally found our tree after walking for what seemed like miles. It wasn't very enjoyable to dragging it back to the car but we did get it home in good shape. The tree ended up being too tall for our dining room but after chopping some extra off the top and bottom we managed to get it set up and it looked great!

Thanksgiving

Pictures from Thanksgiving dinners at Grandma's house and our house. Yes, that is Kayla mid wipeout in the last picture. Fortunately it was a funny wipeout and not a painful one.

Sesame Street Live

Daddy and Kayla had a nice father/daughter day going to see Sesame Street Live. Kayla enjoyed most of it and really liked jumping around in the aisle until the mean old usher put an end to it. Kayla also like the intermission when Daddy bought her a soccer ball that she kicked all over the coliseum concourse.

Halloween!!!

Kayla dressed up as Minnie Mouse for Halloween this year and it was her first trick-or-treating experience. Unfortunately she had no desire to wear her mouse ear headband and we had to cover her costume with a coat since it was pretty cold. Fortunately she still had a great time trick-or-treating and especially liked eating all the candy she got. We made it all the way up and down our street before we all decided it was time to get out of the cold and start munching on some candy. The first picture is half invisible Kayla wearing the outfit she had under the Minnie dress.
