What we are thankful for.

Thanksgiving has come and gone with much joy and eating. Here at the Becker household had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are thankful for all the wonderful family we have, every ones healthy, and the time we get to spend together. Jeff and I are very thankful for our wonderful daughter and the joy she has brought to our lives. This year for Thanksgiving we ventured off to Glasford to my aunt Debbie's where fun was had by all. We have so many little kids the house is filled with laughter and yelling at the kids to share. lol!! Everyone had a great time. Then we headed to Bartonville to my Grandma Madge's house. If you thought there was a lot of kids at aunt Debbie's you should see all the commotion at Madge's house. I swear our family has enough little kids to fill a warehouse. It is fun though. Both sides of the family talk about how it reminds them of when we were all kids. For a while there were no little kids then we all started reproducing and boom kids galore now.

Then Friday Tori and I braved the black Friday madness. We were in line at Target at 3:30am needing to get a very special gift for Reese and we got it. It was crazy, fun and exciting all in one.

Then later in the morning we went to see Sarah my step niece in the Santa parade she was cheering for Dunlap she did great. All the kids were there and were wonderful. Here are some pictures of the exciting day.

next holiday

Ok we are on to the next holiday's. I know people start celebrating Christmas was to early, but this year we are joining in on the early celebration. Jeff has our lights up and we have already done some Christmas activities. With the little boy in Washington sick it just seems like we need to enjoy every second we have with Carson and our family. We have went to the Junction City Christmas walk which there they had a huge life size Santa that Carson loved even though in the picture she looks scared of it. Lets hope she does ok with the real life Santa when it comes time. Plus our little Reese turned 3 and her birthday party was this last weekend which was a blast and the kids had so much fun. I cannot believe how big she is getting. I remember the day she was born when Shaun held her up to show us I remember thinking "she looks just like Shaun" man was I right. know it is just three short years later. It kind of makes me sad how fast they grow up.

Jeff and I did adventure on our own to go see the Tran Siberian Orchestra. We had a great evening out to dinner and the show was great. I really recommend it to everyone to get into the Christmas spirit.

We have lots coming up with Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner. I have the Friday after Thanksgiving off so Black Friday shopping her I come.

Halloween

Halloween has came and went with much excitement. Pop Ed is 55 now and getting younger by the minute. I swear that man has the energy of a 15mos old. Also Pop Ed and Grandma Kathy's 15 year anniversary was today, which we wished them a happy anniversary since we were at there house well past midnight Saturday. It was a very busy holiday weekend. Friday night we went to Heather and Erik to carve pumpkins and Saturday night was the big birthday bash. I never knew the crazy party would be thrown by my father and Kathy. Wait I can totally believe that. lol. We had so much fun and the costume's were great and the food was awesome. The house was decorated top notch and everyone had a blast. I got two to three hours of sleep if that tells you anything. Halloween was also my cousin Maddie's birthday she turned 9. Her birthday party was the weekend before at the bowling alley in our church basement. it was so much fun Carson actually enjoyed watching the bowlers. We also adventured to the wild life no so scary party last Friday which was great. Carson really enjoys the train ride there. We will be going in Nov for the Polar Express night they have there. Here are so pictures of all our adventures this month.

I also want to commend everyone on there costume for Pop Ed's party. Everyone looked so great.

One last thing Carson has moved into the toddler room at daycare. She eats a big girl table and sleeps on a cot. She is getting so big.
