Happy 4th Birthday to princess Hannah

Hannah Rose turned 4 this past Saturday December 4th.  She requested a princess party and wanted to dress up.  So I attempted to turn our Church playground into a castle. I hung streamers to resemble flags ontop of all the poles.  
After her party we came home for some rest time and then headed back to town for the Christmas parade and our yearly tradition of Journey Through Bethlehem.  We had a great day celebrating the birth of our sweet Hannah rose.

 All these pictures from the party are before the guests arrived.  I have no idea what happened to the ones I took once the other princesses and princes got there. Major fail!! and very Sad Mommy :(










 All the fun from the Christmas parade.  The birthday girl had a great time at her first parade :) She was in charge of the candy bag.  Oh, the perks of being the birthday girl :)

We ended the night with our yearly tradition.  The kids are always so excited to see Baby Jesus and the star that leads the way.

Samuel wanted to go into the jail.  He had his fingers so he was good :)

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas tree.

The day after Thanksgiving we headed out to the tree farm to pick our tree. It was slim picking this year the drought really hit them hard. Here are the pics from our adventure.









Thanksgiving

We hosted Krum Thanksgiving this year.  It was great! Thankfully the cold weather held off until right before everyone was leaving so the kids still got to have a fun time playing outside.
