Thanksgiving Bust

This was before it snowed. John and Landon liked to play sword fighting.



Landon just loves his cats (there are two of them you just can't see the other one)

My one Christmas photo of Ali in Landon's old outfit.

This year Thanksgiving wasn't so much fun. John had to work a 5 day night shift and my family went to Malta so it was just me and the kids. We were suppose to go up to his family the week before but mother nature had other plans with roads closed and all that fun stuff. So instead I made dinner for just us. It just didn't seem like Thanksgiving to me. Oh well we decorated for Christmas and made our own fun. Now we are getting ready to go to Malta this week to see John's family since we didn't make it down a couple of weeks ago. Landon is super excited about the tree being up he is trying to say Christmas but it comes out garbage tree. It's sorta funny. He is getting better at it though. He is now completely potty trained!!!! Yes finally!! He is also going to be in the Church Christmas program. We are working on him for the songs and he gets to ring a bell and jump for joy he thinks it is just the best. Ali is getting so big she will be six months old this week. She is teething like crazy which every parent knows makes you want to pull your hair out and she still isn't sleeping through the night. She rolls all over the place and just loves watching Landon she will laugh and laugh at him all day. She is finally also starting to like John a bit more she has been a real mommas girl she never liked anybody else (except for papa we call him her throne and she is the princess). Right now I'm working on Christmas pictures so I'll have photos when I get them done and just getting the baking started for Christmas cookies that I make every year. John is finishing up his 1st class in graduate school and is still liking his job. He will be testing for his 2nd degree black belt this weekend.
