Christmas Party at the Glenn's

We had a Christmas party at Grandma and Grandpa Glenn's house tonight. It was a lot of fun!

Elaina loves having a real baby around.

My Two Army Boys

My Little Sitter Upper

Austin started sitting up today for long periods of time on his own. He's growing up too fast. He's really good to sit there until he gets excited and then he flings himself back. So, we are keeping him on the bed or surrounded with pillows. This picture doesn't do him credit because he's leaning forward but all my other pictures turned out way to blurry to post. This has been happening to most of my pictures lately. Time for a new camera.

Christmas Party

We had a Christmas Party at Brooke's Saturday night and Austin and Elaina got to see Santa! Elaina loves Santa! I don't think she understands who he is exactly but she knows that you are suppose to get excited when you see him. She was pretty cute with Santa, just wanted to hang around him. Austin didn't really show any emotion one way or the other when sitting on Santa's lap. But, Austin definitely knew what to do with the presents. He got really excited about the presents and was trying to grab at the paper. He's so cute! It was a fun party. It's always fun to be with family.
All the kids. Elaina was not excited about taking a picture.





Elaina's first response after seeing cinderella, "Oh gosh! So pretty!"

Festival of Trees

Friday night we went as a family to the festival of trees. It was a lot of fun and the trees were totally amazing. Elaina loved the trees!! Some of her favorites were the Toy Story tree, Elmo tree and a tree with a bunch of cars.

Looking at these pictures makes me realize how old Elaina's getting. I feel like I am looking in the future 14 years. Such a sweetheart.

Halloween!!!

Halloween was on October 30th this year and it's too bad because it was a really rainy day. We started the day with the Roe Family Halloween Party which was a lot of fun. Elaina loved having all the kids here. Then we went to the ward trunk or treat (which was outside) and got soaked to the bone. After that we decided it was just too rainy to go trick or treating. It's okay, though. Elaina and Austin are still young enough that the trunk or treat was sufficent. I was kind of disappointed, though. I like showing the kids off and Halloween is the only time that I can truely justify having a bunch of candy in our home. Adam and I have set the candy tithe at 90% this year and sadly I have about finished my share already.

Elaina chose her costume this year. We took her to the Halloween store and the only one she wanted was Tinkerbell. She looked just like Tinkerbell, she was so cute! And she loved wearing the "green pretty". Austin had two costumes. He was a skeleton during the day and then a giraffe for trick or treating. He was the cutest little giraffe/skeleton I'de ever seen.

Here's Austin as a skeleton with his skeleton Grandma and Grandpa.
Elaina and Rocky.
Ready for the trunk or treat.
Elaina was pretty excited about all the candy she got, especially this sucker!
