Ford and Izabel got new bikes from Santa!
Easton got a cart from Santa, if was the first thing he went to Christmas morning all he cared about all day long. He loves pushing around his cart and putting stuff in it. He especially likes to put clementines in there, he loves clementines and will put up a fight if you take them away!

Here is the Master Pie Maker in action. My Grandma Mary is the one I try to be like when I make my pies. She would make like 8 pies a day or something for the farm hands growing up, with a wood stove I might add. She makes it look easy, even with arthritic hands. She is amazing and I am so glad she came for Thanksgiving and gave us all a lesson in Pie Making. Love you Grandma Mary!
Here Mary and I are posing will making pies, fun silly Pie Day.
Two of the Best cooks I know, Amazing Mother/Daughter team!

Thanksgiving day, banana cream, berry and of course pumpkin, oh and Grandma Mary even made a minced meat pie for Andy. I never have even seen one before, I never tried it, too chicken. But Andy sure liked it. Hope all had a Happy Thanksgiving, sending much love to the sisters wish you could of been there!This is what the kids did while we made pies, they danced their little bums off to Christmas music.
This Kid was so excited for his birthday! He was asking when his aunts, uncles and cousins were coming at 10:30am the party is at 6:00. He was convinced they were not coming cause they were taking too long. He was so excited when everyone finally showed up. He helped me decorate his cake with transformers! We had a french fry party with Ford's favorite pop orange and purple. This boy always puts a smile on your face, We love you Ford!
When I asked Ford what he wanted for his birthday he said," a shoot gun". I asked him what else he wanted and he said, "magic cards". He is his father's son! Here is a shoot gun Grandma June got him!
Here he is with his gear on, tool belt with tools from Aunt Kristie and Uncle Ryan! And an awesome nerf gun from Uncle Carson and Aunt Calli. Love the safety glasses!
So much happiness! Love it! He got Magic Cards from Grandma Zan!
