Birthday Surprise

My sisters Amy and Megan drove 5 hours from Iowa to surprise me a few days before my birthday.  I came home from a Relief Society activity and discovered the door would not open and found out Amy was on the other side pushing just to confuse me.  It worked!  I had a blast with them and couldn't have asked for a better birthday present.

Daniel snapped some photos as I was coming in the door.

The kids soaked up all the attention from their aunties.

Daniel and I had an afternoon out on Saturday and loved the beautiful fall weather.

Some helpers unwrapping presents.

Thanks again for coming Megan and Amy, you are the best!

Fall Catch-Up

Here it is December and I'm finally posting Halloween pictures.  We enjoyed trunk-or-treating at the church parking lot this year and the kids were warm in their cozy costumes.  In case it's hard to tell, Esther is a "T-Rex," as she liked to say, Ammon's a puppy, and Spencer is a monkey (for the 3rd year in a row).

We've enjoyed going to various parks this fall and I brought my camera once to snap a few photos.

I entertained myself by taking some close-ups while the kids played.  This was my favorite.
