A fun night visiting Santa!!

yes...this is actually Katelynn sitting with Santa...wasn't even scared!! Told him she wanted a Christmas Barbie...he told her she was on the good list and her eyes lit up! Katelynn and Eli were the only one's that made it on his lap...Austin wasn't a fan at all....he quick grabbed a sucker and made a run for it!! :)
Making cookies with Mrs. Claus

We went to visit Santa with Heidi, Joel, Bryant, Rachel, and kids...we saw reindeer, made an ornament, saw Santa and then had pizza at Heidi and Joel's...fun times!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I made the squash...(Heidi's recipe)...I was proud! :)
What a fun Thanksgiving! I had all the Gulsvig clan at my house for the day...lots of good food and family fun. It was a great day!!

Holiday Lights Parade!!Noah "diving?" for candy?? hilarious!!

Really cool floats...the kids favorite was the Redhawks float and Hawkeye came running by!

What a great night for a parade....couldn't have asked for better weather...no wind either!! We picked up Heidi and the boys...picked up a pizza and waited for the parade. We had a great time!

Happy 60th PAPA!!!!

What a fun weekend! I had my annual shopping trip to St. Cloud with my in-laws.....we had a blast!! Craig and the kids got to visit Gpa Steve and Great-Gma Schwantz ....i heard they had lots of fun! Today is my Dad's 60th bday! My mom had us all over for dinner....so delicious! I was glad I didn't have to cook because I needed a long nap to catch up on some sleep (and I went to bed early compared to everyone else!!)

So nice for a November Football game!!! Last weekend we went to the last Cobber football game of the season..it was great weather for November! Katelynn got to watch on the sidelines with Papa for a little bit....(she's the only one in pink!) :)

Birthday Fun

Best present ever!! Kids made me a beautiful cake! :)
Daddy/Uncle Craig is entertaining after dinner!

Vikes win!!

Happy Halloween!!

Jaclyn, Katelynn, and Maggie all had fun tails...had to get a picture! Jaclyn was home for the weekend from Colorado, so it was fun to see her. Katelynn LOVES to play in Maggie's room so she took off downstairs shortly after we got there!

We headed over to the Gulsvig's to wrap up trick or treating!! These are the two coolest cowboys..Uncle Chuck and Tyden! (i love Tyden's side smile in this picture!)

And he's off.......to the next house..always started out ahead of everyone and ended up last at every house!! :)

We've started a fun tradition..pumpkin pizza before trick or treating with my family and the Peterson family!! Then we head out trick or treating. It was nice to have it on a sat. this year...earlier start! The kids had a blast SPRINTING from house to house. I love Heidi's picture of Austin on her blog....he was trying to run so hard from house to house and yelling...CANDY!!
