so excited!
It was fun to play in the snow. But man it was cold! They had a lot of fun, though….I think I was the only one who got cold bc these 2 were bundled up so much! The hot cocoa and marshmallows were a hit! So yummy!
Bailey’s Thanksgiving art: Bay and I made this mosaic out of pumpkin seeds. 
This is what I am thankful for! Jack and Bay!
Bailey took some photos of the Thanksgiving happenings…
the photographer:
Bryson turns….30!!!!!

We just watched Toy Story 3 again, and I LOVE that movie! 
Here is our “Toy Story”
Bay with all her “new” toys
Barbie and Ken ( I had a bunch more…wish I took more pics bc the Barbies had crimped hair and all the 80’s retro wear):
I actually have these shorts Ken is wearing for Barbie! Too funny!
trolls—remember these?! Bay isn’t too sure about it…why did we like those? (Wearing PJ’s my mom must have made…)
My old LPS
This says “Littlest Pet Shop” on the bottom of the hamster cage
Calico Critters
Here is the bunny in stores today:
I remember having these bears, too and beavers…but I could only find what is in pic above….
they still sell these! And they are expensive!
So the reason this all came about was that Bay said she wanted these toys in this toy catalog…and it was the Calico Critters…I said that they looked a lot like toys I played with as a kid…I knew right where they were in storage so when I went and got them, I was amazed that it was the same thing! And then I saw the Barbies, Cabbage Patch dolls, (I also found the small Polly Pockets, but Bay is not going to get those til she is older) and the little dogs and hamsters---which I was shocked to find out were the old version of what they sell now, Littlest Pet Shops…I didn’t know that…so these toys were (as Bryson said) happy to be out of storage and played with again! 
Bay kept saying that Jack was her pet fish...Bailey has been practicing her witch laugh, but I don't think I ever saw her do it on Halloween, so I don't think I have it recorded...you should be grateful bc it is a high pitch screechy witch laugh! :) It was a good, relaxed Halloween. Almost too relaxed at times bc we kinda got bored and had to resort to a dance party! I think we will do a Halloween party next year, like we did last year, but it was still fun.
I have the cutest witch and Nemo there is! :)
this was on the way to the ward trunk or treat…but it was inside…it was raining so that is great!
here is the witch and her “pet fish”
Avery and Bay lookin like they are stealing candy! :) 
I love this lollipop…it looks like a skeleton hand that Jack is chewing on! haha. 
This little stinker got into his candy on the way home from grandma’s! He bit into it and somehow was able to eat it without choking on the wrapper or eating the wrapper! Geesh! Never give a 17 month old his Halloween bucket to hold! BC he doesn’t just hold it! 
Ready!
