MIA no longer!

Sometimes, when you get so far behind, it's just seems easier to not do it at all. That's where I've been. Between Dane going to school 4 afternoons a week in Rogers and Cash going to school two mornings a week in Elk River, I'm running all over the place, like, all.day.long. So besides that taking up so much of my time, we've also been busy. Weather has been mild, so we've gotten to do more outside things (although I'm dying for some snow). Here's a long update...

A few weeks before Halloween, we went to a super cool place in Champlin. The kids had an awesome time!

Dane waited in line for 45 minutes to do this. All of the other pictures are blurry, but he was a flipping machine! Super fun to watch!

October 21st, Ross and I, along with 4 other couples, went camping at Gooseberry Falls. It was cold. Super, duper cold-at night. But during the day-for our hikes and biking-the temperature was actually pretty good.

Despite the cold temps, we had a great time. But next year, we will be going earlier in the fall!

Pumpkins were carved the week of Halloween. They both wanted similar looks, however, Dane added the "mask" for a Raphael look (the Ninja Turtle)!

Annual event-Trick or Treating in Elk River with friends!

Halloween Night! The only picture I got of the two of them. Darth Vader and Bumblebee!

Mid-November and here we are with no coats, playing and picnicking at the park! Amazing.

We went and cut our tree down the day after Thanksgiving. Again, the weather was so mild. Insanely odd...

Dad and his boys. Pre-cutting.

Here's the one!

Our little hoodlums.


The decorating of the tree!

Our most beautiful tree yet!

Dane is at a church preschool this year-and they had a Christmas Program! I've been so excited since I heard they were doing it. Look how sweet they are!?

Our two little angels!

Merry Christmas!
