Merry Christmas from the Broadston's

Getting Leah feed before opening presents.

 Waiting as patiently as possible to open presents.  Something about waiting for Holden to wake up...where is he???

 The adults don't seem to know we are in a hurry.  They are just talking away.

 FINALLY!  Can we open presents now?

 Leah was able to crawl to her spot.

 Emery decided to follow suit.

Leah loves her Batwoman cape! What a great day spent with the Broadstons!

O Christmas Tree

 

We've got the Braodston Christmas in the morning.  I guess we should get the tree set up.

In case you were wondering, this post, including all photographs, is brought to you from me, Aiden.

The stockings are hung.

 The tree is trimmed.

I think it's time to go to bed!

Happy Thanksgiving

Nothing says Happy Thanksgiving more than playing schafkopf with the

Fegley's. I'm going to be playing all by myself in no time!

Thankful

Today, I am thankful for being able to share a Thanksgiving "snack" with

my parents at school. I love holidays where Mom and Dad get to see all

the cool stuff I do at school.

Santa

We met Santa today! We even got to ride the train after telling Santa

about all the toys we want for Christmas!

Fwd: Sanding

We are helping Daddy sand down all the baseboard. We are great helpers!

Quilting

I'm helping Mommy make Daddy's Christmas present!

Pictures

I love to look through any picture albums that I find.

Laundry Helper

 

Who needs to fold laundry?  Just put it all on your head!

Ssh..

Sleeping habits of a six year old....

Hot Chocolate

The first snowfall of the season calls for some hot chocolate!

Central Iowa Wind Ensemble's Children Concert

Do these monkey's look like they are ready for a concert?

Parker really enjoyed the first half.

 
At the end, they let us come up and conduct the wind ensemble.  On the left Aiden is conducting and on the right Parker is conducting.  It got a little crazy as the concert was a good two hours long.  It really helped that for the last couple of songs there was a magician, a boy riding a unicycle, a juggler, and a clown!  Aiden really wants to play the french trumpet now!  I guess I have some work to do...

Lunch Date

Mommy took us shopping and we were so good that she let us eat lunch at Costco.

Reading

My parents don't read to me nearly enough.  I often find myself reading myself bedtime stories!

Waterville Trick Or Treating

Superman

 
Ironman

GI Joe Swat Nija

All loaded up to drive around to our different Aunt and Uncles houses to show off our costumes!  Thanks for letting us come trick or treating a day late!

The Longest Trip EVER

Look at us read books while Mommy is folding laundry and packing up to go to Papa and GG's house.  We can't wait to Trick-or-Treat there!

 
First stop, lunch at Hickory Park.

By the time we hit Cedar Falls, I had been crying for a good hour because my ears hurt.  We made a stop at Urgent care followed by trick or treating and dinner while we waited for perscriptions at Hy-Vee.  I trick-or-treated while riding in the shopping cart.

We finally made it to Papa and GG's house after everyone else had gone to bed.  We'll have to show off our costumes tomorrow.  For now, it's time for bed.

Jack-o-lantern

We worked together to carve one really awesome pumpkin this year.  Parker did a great job of pulling out seeds.

Emery wasn't so sure, even with Daddy showing him how.

Then Daddy tried to get the boys to eat the pumpkin insides and Mommy ended up getting the rest of the guts out of the pumpkin.

Here's what we ended up with!

Pretty good, if we do say so ourselves!

I am so happy with how our family photos turned out this year.  I don't know how I'm going to pick what to print!
