Mackenzie's Looses Baby Tooth

Mackenzie lost her first baby tooth right before Thanksgiving!

Aiden's Birthday

Aiden turned 8, which marked some pretty big changes for him.  He gets to be baptized and start cub scouts.  We celebrated at home with an ice cream cake, and then he got to have a Chef's Party with his friends.  Aiden LOVES to cook.  Here are pictures of the festivities.

Hymas Halloween 2012

Our first Halloween in Michigan was lots of fun.  We went to our ward Halloween party dressed as Scooby Doo and the Gang, including Kate as our little Scooby Snack.  We even got the van dressed up as the Mystery Machine for the trunk or treat.  We enjoyed the chili cook off, and some cinnamon donuts and apple cider from Yates Cider Mill.  Seriously delicious.

We got to go to the school on Halloween for the costume parade and the class parties.  The kids had a great time.
