So finally after waiting and checking to make sure snow clothes fit, we had our first decent snow fall. There wasn't very much, and since these pictures I think we now have about 2 feet of snow outside, but this was the first snow fall of the season. (that stuck). So of course we had to go play in it. Mylie hates getting on her snow clothes, but once we are out there she has a lot of fun. We made a small sad snowman that fell apart soon after we took his picture. Harley put his head and only his head on the window ledge and make 3 more heads to keep it company. It was great.

We went to Nampa this year for Thanksgiving. It was at Bryan and Jude's house and we all had so much fun. And since Jazz was around I had to have her do my hair. Besides Harleys birthday and 4 hours of day after shopping things were kind of calm. Mylie did let Lex straighten her hair. She looked so cute with straight hair. She would flip her hair around to feel it move. It doesn't move like that when it is curly.
One curly just in case you forgot what she looked like curly!

It always seems like the end of the year is super busy. With Harleys and Jers birthdays and Thanksgiving then Christmas. There are a lot of parties and presents. So hopefully these next few posts will catch everything up. So I'll start with Harley's and Jer's birthday. We went to Wheeler Farms for their family party. If you who are in Utah have never been, it is a fun and free place to take kids. There are lots of farm animals to see and touch. The girls had so much fun, Harley and Mylie loved the little pigs.
Party #2 was in Nampa. We went to Nampa to spend Thanksgiving with the Burn's. Noah wanted to take Harley to Chuck E Cheese for her birthday so that is where we headed on Saturday. The kids had so much fun. Mylie wasn't scared of Chuckie, I thought she might be, but she was good with him. Noah, Harley, and Mylie had so much fun playing the games. I think we stayed there for 2 hours just playing. Ever since Harley was 1 Jer has gotten her a little chocolate cake with a butterfly on it. So every year Jer has to get the same cake. Its become a fun thing with Jer and Harley.
Party #3 was with Harley's friends. She has so many friends. Our neighborhood is so great, there are so many kids Harley and Mylies age that we never have a day where there isn't someone to play with. It was an "Girls Only" + Dad party. When the girls got here they each made their own personal pizza, rolling out the dough and putting on their own toppings. They had so much fun with it. Its interesting to see what people like on their pizza. I have worked for many years in the "Pizza Industry" and there always seems to be something that surprises my about people and their pizza. While those were baking, we played games. Their favorite is called "4 corners". It is crazy how much energy 8 little girls have. They do love to scream.
After dinner we painted and stamped on flowers that hang on the wall. They each got their own flower and got to take it home. Why we picked 2 very messy activities, I will never know. Presents and cake were next. The girls had so much fun.

Harley got some new clothes and really likes her picture taken. She ran out side, posed and said "mom come take my picture". How could I resist. I really do think she is 5 going on 15!!!

Mylie couldn't quite keep up with Harley!.,
Mylies favorite thing to do was sit on our porch while we were getting ready and put the candy in her bag. She didn't think we were looking and kept sneaking candy.
I don't know where her attitude comes from!!!!Must be the outfit.
Harley worked hard for 2 weeks to earn her Halloween outfit. She had decided to be Sharpay from High School Musical. So we found the outfit and hung it just out of reach so she could see everyday what she was earning and work hard to get eat. Needless to say, she worked on her manners and attitude for 2 weeks and got her outfit. She was Sharpay for Halloween. Mylie still fit into her monkey outfit from last year, so again she was a monkey. They were a cute pair.

Harley got a free pumpkin from school. She picked the biggest one she could carry. 25lbs.
Harley eating pumpkin, she thought it was great!
Yes thats a knife, but she was well supervised.
This is the pumpkin we grew in our garden this year. Not quite 1000 lbs. Maybe next year!
We waited until thursday to carve our pumpkins. It was so nice outside, 75 degrees so we were outside carving. I decided it was better to make a mess outside then on the kitchen floor. Jer did most of the carving and cleaning out of the pumpkins. What a great guy!!! Mylie decided to "paint" her pumpkin and Harley wanted a vampire pumpkin. Harley also had a halloween party at school that me and Mylie got to help with. They played games and did face painting. Mylie needed to have her face painted to and the nice lady was more then happy to do it for her.

So I know I am a slacker when it comes to this blog. I have been keeping really busy with my photography and trying to finish all of the editing of pictures from Nampa. So if you missed Jazz's wedding on my photo blog are a few of the pictures we took when we were there.
The blog is www.karaburnsphotography.blogspot.com. It has been great actually working alot more with my photography. Maybe soon I will be able to call myself a "professional". Maybe not. Let me know what you all think.

These pictures are really fun. I don't think they show half of the fun we really all had. It is always so great to be outside having fun with family. I think we should make this a 3 time a year tradition. Maybe not in Spokane, I don't think Gabe and Heather want us all there that much, but all over, Nampa, Utah, maybe a trip to California or something. What do you think???
