Christmas Eve

The missionaries and the Mason's came to dinner. The kids did a nativity. Very short and sweet!!


Cookies and milk for Santa, veggies for the reindeer, and new PJ's.

Getting ready for X-mas

Gingerbread houses and sugar cookies!!

Christmas Concert

Isabelle played the part of Mrs. Claus in her third grade play. She did a fantastic job!

Curly Q....Shirley Temple.............

No..........but, an entirely different cool drink of water!!

Isabelle had been asking for months to put curlers in. I never did, because, well, she's already curly!! About a month ago, she finally broke me down, and I acquiesced. The finished product was actually pretty cute!

What do you do for fun?

We paint rocks.

Goodbye Griswalds!!

Some of you may have thought the Griswalds had moved in and were here to stay--understandable, since we've lived here for two years and have NEVER trimmed the bushes!! In our defense, they were so small when we first moved in, I just never really noticed how big they had gotten! All our worried neighbors can now breathe a sigh of relief!! We even found a bird nest in one of our trees! Pretty cool.

Witches!

All of us girls were 'funky' witches for Halloween! We made our skirts out of tulle, and I think they turned out pretty cute! We had so much fun!

The irony of me being a pregnant witch was not lost at our house!!

2nd Annual Hunsaker Bizarre Food Night

Halloween cuisine this year consisted of mummy pizzas, brain (watermelon), witch fingers (carrot sticks), bug juice, and eyeballs (powdered doughnuts). We've been wanting to try brain ever since we saw Andrew Zimmern eating it on Bizarre Foods, and we finally got our chance! Scary good!

Halloween Cookies

Decorating Halloween cookies. YUM!

Student of the month (Again!)

Isabelle was student of the month in September, and was chosen again for the month of October. The character trait for October was respect. She was chosen in September by her teacher, and then in October the class voted and she was chosen again. We're very proud of her!!

Best Chore Day...EVER!

Two Saturday's ago, it was chore day!! Isabelle asked all week if we could wash the car, so I told her that if she and Ava got all their chores done they could wash the car. Their chores were done in no time!! Genius! Why didn't we think of this sooner! We squeaked another chore out of it and they thought it was a reward--SWEET!

Proof

Okay, so I thought I would snap a shot of my HUGE stomach to have proof of just how big I feel and have been complaning about. Apparently, I have to shut up. (Yes, I was trying to push it out for the full effect!)

Although, for 18 weeks, that is kinda big isn't it?

Well, I FEEL big!!


On a side note, just a little announcement.................

make that a HUGE announcement (and this time I mean it!)..................


IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woo-hoo!!

Super Saturday

Conference weekend.

Before conference--fun with dad!

Between sessions--it's still Saturday after all!! (I love Belle's ensemble--she looks ready to enter the decontamination zone in a minute!)

Student of the Month

Isabelle was awarded student of the month for the month of September. The character trait for the month was trustworthiness. We are soo proud of her!
