Christmas Continued

Our Christmas festivities continued with a trip to see Santa at Bass Pro. Patrick was super excited to see Santa. He really wanted Switch and go Dinos this year, and he drew Santa a picture so he would know exactly which one he wanted. Renee was still a little nervous about Santa but she was more than willing to pose for a picture. Patrick ran right up to Santa and gave him his picture, and of course gave the camera his wining smile.

Getting Ready for Christmas

The kids were so excited for Christmas this year. Patrick is really begining to understand all about Christmas, and Renee is excited because she sees how excited Patrick is. The first weekend in December Patick and I did a CHristmas clean so our house looked great. Both the kids really enjoyed helping me set up our decorations.

Later in the day we went to pick out our tree. Patrick remembered picking out our tree last year, and was eager to show Renee how it was done. They kids raced around the tree place ignoring any of our suggestions. They eventually picked out a great tree that was perfect for our house. Renee completed the trip by making sure we had two wreaths for our front porch.

Thanksgiving

Anyone who knows me knows I love Thanksgiving. This year was even better, because even my inlaws were able to join us! I loved having my whole family together, and so did the kids. They were super excited. Our day started with Kenny's race, which of course I forgot to bring the camera to. Later, we went to my Mom and Dad's for the rest of the day. We took turns riding the gocart, eating a fabulous dinner, and decorating the Christmas tree. Here are some pictures from the day.

Halloween

Halloween this year was lots of fun! Both kids were really into choosing their costumes. Patrick was dying to be a Power Ranger, and Renee is in love with dancing and Disney Princesses. So Patrick was transformed into the Blue Power Ranger and Renee was a "princess ballerina". Right before Halloween we went to Araujo Farms in Dighton to see their jack-o-lantern show. On Halloween we went trick-or-treating with the Doraz Family. The kids had a blast racing to all of the houses. All except Renee. She rode in the wagon and insisted Daddy carry her to each house.
