FeStiVaL of TrEeS!!!!!

We took the kids to FeStiVaL of TrEeS last weekend. Brad and I took Halle a couple of years ago and have started making this a tradition in our little family. I enjoy looking at all trees and all the wonderful talent that comes out at this time of year. It is amazing to me how generous people are with their time and money:)

I'm so sad that we didn't get a picture of the Wilde's that came with us. Brad and Justin work together and we have hung out with them quite a bit lately. I am surprised that they keep hangin' with us since whenever we go out are kids are CRAZY!!

Haisley was getting a cold that night. It was so sad. She was not her usual happy self:(

I loved this tree- it was decorated in a Peacock theme. People are so creative, it kills me.

Halle wanted this wand the whole time we were there. I thought I could bribe her into being good while we looked at the trees, but I should I gotten the wand first thing (my night would have been A LOT better).

Our cute lil fam:) I don't know what I was thinking not wearing some kind of red that night. I totally don't match my family:) Haha.

What we've been up to lately:)

We had a great time at Tepanyaki's for Brad's birthday dinner. Both of the girls were freaked out cuz of the fire. Their fear is not going to stop me from eating there:)

Haisley LOVED her cupcake for Daddy's Birthday!!

ADVENTS: Every year my family does a weekly countdown to Christmas. We get together on Sundays and read a Christmas book, have hot chocolate and yummy cookies made by my awesome Mom. Each year we get our FIRST GIFT OF CHRISTMAS on our first Advent Sunday. The gift is usually an ornament for the kids (something to do with what has happened during the year) and a Christmas book for the adults. This year my parents switched things up a bit- the adults got a candle wreath so we can start doing our own ADVENTS:) Thanks Mom and Dad- we love it and are so excited to continue the tradition in our own little family!!

Haisley's ornament was a telephone. She loves to talk on the phone even if she isn't really saying anything:)
Halle got a Cinderella one. She loved it, so much that the following morning she broke it:)

We got to babysit Brad's niece the other day and my girls had a blast. They loved playing with baby Ellie:)
