Yeeeeah! It's that time of year again! Christmas is coming.

Regan is not only excited for Christmas she is also excited that her cousin Paije gave her her old princess jammies

Dad's busy week finally slowed down. Reagan waited (not very patiently) for Saturday to finally come.......this was the day we designated for putting up the Christmas lights and getting and decorating the tree.

We took a break from Christmas decorating mid day for Reagan to go to her friend Maile's princess birthday party. On our way out the door we were met by Christmas Carolers

After the kids woke up from naps we went to dinner (Lou's of course) and then off to Home Depot to get our tree.

Yep...this one is just right!

peek-a-boo

Reagan is so helpful lifting maybe one little branch for dad.

Weeeee!

A successful night besides the fact that I forgot to bring EZ's diaper bag......we got lucky, no blow outs!

Reagan finally got to decorate the tree. Maybe next year EZ will be able to help her!

Thanksgiving Week

Our dear relative George passed away and the Ebmeyer family met together for the funeral. Here we are at the park after the services.

That night we arrived in Palm Springs to meet up with our good friends, The Clarks, for some swimming and fun at the Westin Resort.Sydney and Reagan showing off their "twirls" into the pool.

Sydney , Reagan , & Westin.......I think they could get use to this kind of life!

Adam and Reagan giving Brock a "high 5" as he goes down the water slide

Good swim session Reagan and Mom!

Going "oh so high" on the tram

Waiting to go back down from the tram ride. It was crazy cold there. Who knew Palm Springs could get that cold!?

On our way to the other water slide across the resort where the kids would be tall enough to go down their selves

EZ getting his swim on

My sweet little buster, oh so tired. He just took his nap right next to us at the pool.

Syd and Westie.....hang on!

From Palm Springs we went straight to AZ for Turkey Day! Sweet little (getting so big) Paije just adored EZ and couldn't get enough of him. Who could blame her?

Uncle KK with EZ and Ragu. Brock was so excited for EZ to wear his Lakers PJs for all those AZ Suns fans. GO LAKERS!

Taking Paije to school

We love all of Uncle CK's toys.

Thanksgiving Day with all the kids

Roger's family minus Josh (had to stay in Utah for work).

The three Rogers grand kids.....the end of a fun week!

Zoe, Reagan, Luke, and the newest member of play group, Jordan
I went to my room to check on Easton and this is how I found him. I thought it was so funny.

Reagan is making cookies for me at preschool
Easton found himself some fun at preschool too.

We have this rule for Reagan that she can't wake us up until 7 am. Now that EZ wakes her up early she finds things in her room to keep her busy. Brock took this picture bc he thinks it's funny how most mornings Reagan comes into our room and wakes us up fully dressed in a dress of course, jewlery, fancy shoes, a purse, and don't forget a head band. This time Brock went into her room and took a picture of her getting ready and the clock shows that she's already to go nice and early.

Reagan put her headband on Easton and came and got me to look. Reagan can't understand why EZ is so sad. According to Reagan a headband makes everything better!

Halloween Activities 2009

On our way downtown with the Blads to meet up with other friends on Main St. for some Halloween fun HB style.
Trick-or treating at all the stores on Main St.

Waiting on the curb after eating at Wahoos. Time to get back to more trick-or treating.
Jack Pot! A cotton machine!! As is we didn't already have enough candy.....bring on the delicious goodness.

Spooooooky!

TRUNK-or Treat!! This is at our ward Halloween party the night before. We passed out bags of cookies we made since we are bakers this year. We made EZ's costume a cookie bc that's all we can bake in our family.....chocolate chippers and babies are our only two specialties.

Reagan and a few of her friends on the back of the Blad's truck. They won the award for the scariest trunk.

Reagan did the cake walk for the first hour we were at the party. This is what she came back with. Did they make that especially for her? The biggest pink, piled with frosting, cupcake I've ever seen. Her absolute favorite treat......but then again I don't think she's ever eaten the cupcake part. She just licks the frosting off.

We won an award for our cookie theme....go Ebs!

FHE pumpkin carving party... Anna walked in with this shirt on so Reagan ran into her room changed and came out with the same one. What cute little twinners.

We tried to get all the kids to line up and this is about as good as we could get.

The final product........wooooooo!

The battle was on for the best pumpkin. Ryan met his match this year. Brock's jack-o-lantern rocked.

The babies at the Lombardi's for their annual Halloween gingerbread making party. This is June bug, EZ, and Brinners.

Reagan was a champ! She won for best kids house! Don't even think about taking a bite unless you want to eat regurgitated frosting. I think she licked ever bit of frosting that went on that house. Yum!

This was the first night we wore our costumes to a party at the Clawson's in our ward. We has so much fun dressing up. I couldn't talk Reagan into joining in on our theme. She had to be a pink princess. I don't blame her. Why would you want to wear all white plain clothes when you could wear pink sparkly princess clothes.
