Zoolights

Deklan and I went to Zoolights at Point Defiance Zoo with out friends Tina and Benton. It rained the whole time, but it was pretty cool
 Had to take a picture of the 12th man tree.

 Tina brought us hot apple cider in a canteen that kept us warm


I loved all the neat light displays. There were so many and they were so cool. Definitely worth going to, even in the rain! That should conclude all that we did in 2016, well most of it anyway. Now I need to catch up with 2017!

Christmas Eve

Can you believe that I didn't take any pictures on Christmas Day? At least I have these from Christmas Eve. I love watching the Nativity acted out by the kiddos.
 Finnik got to be baby Jesus this year!



 Grandma pulled out some bells and gathered all the grandkids to play us some Christmas Carols.
 It was pretty entertaining
 We also had a "sled" competition. We built a sled out of candy and then raced them.
 Ryan was on our team. It was fun and some of the sleds were pretty crazy!
 We went to the Festival of the Nativity in Tacoma again this year. Baine was being a stinker and wouldn't dress up. He wouldn't even part with his bag of goldfish cracker for the picture either.

Halloween

We were Pirates for Halloween and it was awesome!
Baine
 Finnik even dressed up
 Deklan
 Tripp
 Raidon -I don't know where he gets these poses, but they keep showing up.
 One tough crowd
 Grrrrowwwlll! Hot stuff!
Here's the fam at our Ward's trunk or treat
 Deklan and I went to a Day of the Dead celebration at the library where we got to paint sugar skulls and eat special bread that they only make on November 1st and 2nd. It was yummy!
 It was also fun learning about the Day of the Dead celebration and how they celebrate their ancestor's lives by setting up tables with that person's favorite foods and other items.
 We were supposed to dedicate our skulls to someone who had died so I dedicated mine to my Grandpa LeFevre.

Maris Farms and Momma

My momma came to visit us at the beginning of October to meet the little Finnik-son. While she was here, we took her to Maris Farms. It was super fun and the weather cooperated with us. It was overcast, but never rained on us.
 The cow train is always super fun!




 She had an in-depth conversation with the turkey
 The fun Speleo cave. Randy did it this time. I had Finnik in a baby carrier and he was only a couple of weeks old. My body wasn't ready for that craziness yet. This was also Finnik's first day out and I didn't get a single picture of him.
 The jump pillow was super fun too! I was just a spectator, but judging by their faces -it was a blast!


 Pedal tractors! They definitely got their exercise in for the day.


 The zip line was new this year.
 Ever wondered what a hamster feels like? We know now!

 We also got to watch pig races. We loved cheering on those little squealers!
 The big corn room is sweet! Found dried corn in my house for weeks afterwards, but it was worth it!
 I love my Momma! 
We ate lots of good chinese food and even took her to the dollar theater to watch Finding Dory. It's always fun when Grandma comes to visit! Just wish she could stay longer!
