And the WInner is...The Wilson's!

Last Sunday we participated in the annual Reed Family Ginger Bread Decorating contest...Chris and I won!  Each year the competition gets a little more fierce. We call in the neighbors to judge. It is always really loud, really messy, and always really fun! Here are some pictures from the night. We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanksgiving Woes

Tonight after we got home Connor was getting ready for bed and I asked him how his Thanksgiving was.  Right after I asked the question Connor's bottom lip went out and he started crying.  I asked him what was wrong and he said, "I didn't even get to eat any turkey." I told him I put some on his plate and he kept telling me I didn't.  He was really upset...I told him it would be okay because I brought some home to eat.  He was still upset.  He then proceeded to tell me that all he had to eat was a roll, green beans, and chicken.  As I was laughing I said, "Connor, the chicken was turkey." He got a huge smile on his face and said, "It was?"  He was then able to go to bed knowing he had eaten turkey on Thanksgiving.  

Chris' Guy Trip

Chris went with his brothers to Moab...it was a true guy trip!  They four-wheeled till they hurt!  Luckily no one had to visit the hospital! He is already planning next years trip...he hopes to have his own toy to ride on!

Going Private

I know, I know...I love to blog stalk...but I think it is time to take the blog private. We live in a scary world and I would like to think crazy people aren't looking at my blog, but you never know. Please leave me a comment if you want to have access to our blog. Be sure to leave your email address. You can also send me an email to let me know.   I'll wait a couple weeks before I go private.  

Family Night

Last night after dinner we went out as a family and played football. Connor and dad vs. Lyla and mom. We had a blast...Connor does the BEST touchdown dances and Lyla is getting really good at saying "Go Girls!" Dad blocked the girls while Con scored a touchdown...and the girls used the ever sneaky "pick up Lyla, the ball, and run as fast as you can to the endzone" play to score! Great memories are made doing small, spur of the moment things!

We love fall!

Besides the fact that fall means that winter is just around the corner, it is one of my favorite times of year.  We went to Wheeler Farm on Friday and had a great time.  We got some really cute pictures of the kids. I was having issues with slide.com, so you wont be able to see them all right now.  Here are some of my favorites.  The first two are from Wheeler farm and the last one of Con was taken by Joy at a pumpkin patch in Farmington. We also tried to go to Gardner Village on Friday...shoot me now!  There were so many people there it wasn't fun so we left. We will have to go see the witches another time. 

Buddies!
