Grandpa made my boys an amazing Pirate Game.

A 5:00am wake up at the Coles home. We get up bright and early to go get our Christmas tree permit, so we can cut down our tree. Joe takes all the children old enough to handle the early morning and the cold.He takes them to Mcdonalds for breakfast. It's a fun tradition every year.

Some snacks and hot cocoa while they wait in line for the permit.

Sushi is my favorite food in the whole world. Simply Suhi makes the best. They ent over hundreds of samples to our volunteers at the Layton Midnight Run. We were all in heaven.

I just found thee picture on Joe's phone of Luke being born. We weren't planning on having him this day so we only had Joe' phone.

Every year we make Christmas Ornaments to remind us of the past years fun we've had.This September we had a birthday party/ reunion for my Grandma Ball. I had big plans of making each family a Christmas ornament but we moved into our home a week earlier. It would have been fun to do.I did get one made for each person in my family.

 Joe cuts the wood for me each year. I try to make them in the fall season. It helps to cut down on the crazy plans of the season.

 I pick a color and paint them all the same color for that year.

 Joe gets all the pictures down to size and we have them all printed on an 8X10 at Costco.

 I modge podge the four pictures per block and place the eye screws in.

  We make unique blocks to what special events happened the past year. This year we sold our home of 10 years and built our new one. Once I'm ready to place the ribbon through the eye screw I will string a key from each home, through the ribbon. They keys will hang as a charm.

I usually use the same ribbon for all the same ornaments but this year I had so much cute ribbon, I used three different designs of ribbon.

We had our Haunted Halloween Train party. We served taco soup and too all the children of the neighborhood on train rides before we went Trick Or Treating together. We were excited that even families who haven't moved in yet came to meeet their new neighbors.

The boiled eggs had eyes on them to look like ghost. Sierra made them look cute!

 Children waiting for the train to come back.

Forest Gump and Jenny came.

Sugar coma

 Suckers were Luke's favorite.

 The sorting begins.

 Our sweet neighbor face painted Sydney for the party!

 Savannah was gone most the night to a teen party with her best friend. We missed her!
