Happy Thanksgiving (x2)

 We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving week! We celebrated with Mark's family early since they were going to be out of town. The food was AMAZING as always! I absolutely LOVE the picture of Ella watching Grandpa carve Uncle Matt's beautiful 24lb bird. 

 Little Natalia stole the show:) 

 And Aunt Emy's pies were wicked awesome. 

On Thanksgiving Day, we had the Lutz family over and enjoyed yet another amazing meal! 

Decorating the table was SO much fun. 

This is the second time I have cooked a big turkey 

and its surprisingly pretty easy and tasted nice and moist. 

 I got the girls some sparkling apple cider and they thought it was pretty fancy. 

We are so blessed to have amazing family and friends to share the holidays with together. 

Anderson Farms {Erie, CO}

 A few Saturdays ago, the Fish Family invited our community Group with them to their yearly Anderson farm trip every fall. It was a BLAST! There was so much to enjoy at the farm and 

it was a very fun filled day!  

 They had barrel rides, gord launching, corn mazes, animals, panning for gems, go-carts, hayrides, tractor rides, etc.. so much fun! Living in the city, there are VERY few venues like this. And I LOVE fall time and anything to do with pumpkins. You pay $12 to get in and everything is included. We usually don't pay that much for family events but this was totally worth it! We stayed for many hours and the kids and Mark and I had a blast. I think this will become an annual tradition.

Hopkins 2nd/3rd Grade Music and Art Night

 About a month ago, the twins showed off their art and did quite a cute musical play. 

Grandma and grandpa came to watch the show:) Mark was out of town which was sad.

 This is Luciano. Sophia has quite the crush on him. It is the first time she has ever talked about a boy with such admiration. Mark is not very thrilled. I think its funny. Although we did sit her down and have a talk about being friends with everyone and that there is plenty of time to like boys when she is much older:) They play soccer together at recess and thank goodness he is in the other 3rd grade:) 

He seems like a nice kid. 

 The twins with Alice and JJ.

Here is the musical they did... it is 23 minutes. All about the life cycle of plants. You dont have to watch it all. I recoded it for Mark who wasn't able to make it. They twins do their little signing part around 6:20...they were the Big Bad Squirrels- its a rap- so thats why they had to wear hats sideways and necklaces:) Enjoy.. (sorry my hand is shaky)
