Christmas Coookies

Connor and Ryan had fun making Christmas cookies this year. There weren't big fans of eating the cookies, but they liked to help make them. It is hard to believe that they are such picky eaters that they won't even eat cookies that they make!

Christmas Tree

We went to a tree farm in Half Moon Bay this year to search for that perfect Christmas tree. And here it is with Connor and Ryan standing in front of it before we cut it down.
Ed cut down the tree with LOTS of help from Connor and Ryan.
They had just about as much fun decorating the tree as it was to pick it out!
And here it is all decorated with the stockings hung over the fireplace.

Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving at our house and Grandma, Grandpa, Great Gramma, Tom, Cara, Cody, and Tyler came to celebrate with us. Below is a picture of Connor and Ryan reading to Tyler.

Dani, Cody, and the beach

In November, over Veteran's Day weekend, we went down to Arroyo Grande for Tania's baby shower. While there, Len, Mary, Dani, and Cody were visiting on their way back from their cruise. Below is a picture of Cody, Danielle, Connor and Ryan at the beach. The tide was too high, so they couldn't go down to play in the sand.
Great-Grandma had her hands full with all the kids!
