Decorating the Tree

This evening we attempted to decorate our Christmas tree. This was Blake's first real attempt and other than running into bedtime with a crabby boy, it went pretty well.

Brady really had a great time. He was all about putting up the ornaments.

We convinced Blake to do some too!

The tree was a tad weighted at the bottom initially........but we spread them out and ended up with a nice looking tree!

Another New Cousin!

On November 18th at 6:28 pm we welcomed Makyla Loretta Wade into the family!
She was 7 lbs 14 oz and was 19 inches long

Blake was more interested this round in a new baby and was up for "gentle" touching. Now the count is even on the O'Donnell side: 3 girls and 3 boys!

New Cousin!

On Thursday November 10th, at 5:05am, Casey and Leilani welcomed their daughter Kailea into the world!

The family went to visit on Thursday night. Brady loved the baby. Blake.....not so much.

Brady really wanted to hold her. He loves his new cousin!

We are so excited to welcome our new niece/cousin into the family! Congratulations to Casey and Lani!

Trick-or-Treat

This year for Halloween we had a dragon(thanks to Gma Karen) and a scarecrow(thanks to Gma Karen 2 years ago)!

The boys loved trick-or-treating!

We often had to remind Brady to use his manors because he was in such a hurry to get to the next house to "get more candy!"

It was a fun night. Both kids were old enough to enjoy it so that made it more fun for Brian and me! Definitely worth all the work!
