Hamilton Happenings

Christmas time! In the beginning of December Jeff, Cortney, and their kids came to visit along with mom and dad.  We did an early Christmas with them.   Julia took pics of everyone.  That's always a bit chaotic.  But we got good pics in the end. On the first day of December it snowed! Papa built airplane models with the kids. Isaac loved holding Owen. Making Christmas chocolate bark. Early present time. Breakfast at Express Cafe. Add caption Isaac's first time trying egg-nog.  I think he liked it. This was mine and Justin's 9th wedding anniversary.  We ate at the Kona Grill.  We split a sushi roll and macadamia nut chicken.  Then for dessert we shared a cinnamon roll.  Then we went to see a movie.  Loved it all!  Also this was the night that I told Justin that we were expecting another baby!  He was super surprised! We spent Christmas Eve at the Crawfor...

Continuing on with November!  Cici came to visit!  I think Mckenzie and Cici look like twins in their sweaters and glasses.  Playing go fish of course. Mckenzie had a princess cookbook from the library and her and Cici were making the french bread recipe (I think). On another day they made parfaits. My mom learned to dress warm in my cold house. Chilly walk to the park. Mckenzie is modeling a new dress Cici bought her. One thing I love about fall time is getting lots of apples from the Crawford's tree and making applesauce! Isaac still wishing it was Halloween. In the month of November Channing has three weeks off of school (he's on a year round schedule).  A few moms took turns having some of the 1st graders get together for different activities. We played minute to win it games. Don't worry, Jett is still around. He's very loved by all the family. Chocolate smoothie stache. Can't forget the phases ...

Alrighty folks, it's been 7 months since I last posted an update on this here blog.  In my attempt to get caught up I'm choosing my favorite pictures from that month and putting a short description with them.  It's April 2020 but I'll be scheduling this post to have come out in the month that it's about.  Here we go! October, fall is in the air.  Fall months are great but not my favorite.  Mainly because after fall comes winter.  But I enjoy the days that are still warm and the excitement my kids have about Halloween. Pumpkin carving time!  The kids looove carving pumpkins.  As a parent it's a ton of work! Mckenzie wanted a kitty.   Our creations! This was Channing's school trunk or treat.  He got a lot of attention dressed as this Ghostbusters character. About to go trick or treating! This year we went in a huge group.  My mom came into town that day.  We had the Crawfords, Hamiltons, and Wegner...
