Polar Express!

The Polar Express!

On the train with my cute Hubby!!

The train conductor.

Danny's parent's took everyone on the polar express this year.
I think Monterey is a little excited!

The train ride that was supposed to be short ended up being very long. Towards the end Karlee had everyone chanting "we want off ."

This guy was telling all the kids that they had to get all the reindeer off the tracks so we could move again. They bought it the first few times.

Looking at each other and thinking, "Do you want off the train too?"

Just hanging out.

They all loved when Santa finally made his appearance!

Especially Codan!!

Jadyn loved sitting up in this window.

Once you got off the train they had Christmas lights to look at. The older two wanted to stay and look but Jade and Codan had had enough fun for the night!

One last picture before everyone got cranky.

Thanksgiving!

This year we had Thanksgiving at our house again. Horrible family picture but I try to get one every year. What the point is I'm not sure. Not one of the kids is looking at the camera!

I had the kids make apple turkeys while they waited. It helped to pass the time.

This year my Aunt Lisa and Uncle Lonnie came down with my parents. Also my sister and her new hubby Reyn.

The kids with their mouths full. I guess the cooking got their approval.

An official Matson family kids welcome. Your not completely a member of the family until my kids have attacked you over and over again. Reyn at the bottom of the kid pile up!!

The famous grateful turkey. We write down what we are thankful for on his feathers and then the kids hang all the feathers up.

Uncle Reyn helping the kids. He was soooo nice to have around. To bad him and my little sis Brooke live so far away. He came in really handy.

Brody trying to work all the turkey off with papa.

Thanks everyone who came to see us. WE love you guys. And to those of you who didn't come. You better be here next year. I don't want to hear your excuses.

Ward Christmas Party

This year at are ward party Karlee performed he first dance performance. She did so well.

The kids loved Santa. However I couldn't get Brody to smile. I guess he is to cool!

The nativity scene was so cute. I loved that they had the little kids act it out.
