Week in review Nov. 1-8

On Sunday the first we wrote Christmas letters to Santa. Brianna and Kyle spent a long time working on their letters and designed them great. Brianna wrote Kyle's for him it was so sweet. Afterward's Kyle wanted us to read his letter. We came to the part where he said he wanted a blue truck and trailer. Kyle got frustrated and said Brianna it was supposed to say black truck. She had accidentally written the wrong color truck down on his Santa letter. It was pretty funny.





On Friday the 6th we went to a ward overnight activity to West Piney. It was a great time. It is a huge lodge with three floors, big kitchen, big great room for gatherings. Lots and lots of beds, a huge slide outside like 40 or 50 feet long. A baseball diamond, amplitheatre, etc. It is normally used for girls camps. Anyway all the kids friend's from the ward were there and they had a great time playing. They didn't go to bed until like 10 PM. The kids usually go to bed at 8. Brianna got to sleep next to her friend Daphne Inskeep-they both slept on top bunks. Kyle slep on a top bunk as well. Grandma Carlson volunteered to watch Kameron. The adults also had fun. Melanie stayed up until like 2 AM talking. Dad went to bed at like 10PM. There were games, food, activities, etc. One fun game was were there would be a balloon in the middle of the floor, then Peter Mcllelan would ask a question, then anyone that knew the answer could rush forward and get the balloon and pop it and answer the question for a treat. It was pretty funny to watch everyone wrestle and scramble to try and get the balloon. Saturday morning dad helped cooked breakfast, he was in charge of cooking ham. There was also eggs, pancakes, hashbrowns with no ketchup.






On the 8th, Sunday, great church day. Kameron made a turkey in nursery out of an apple and some candy. He loved it and had to show everyone-he was so proud and would not eat the candy cause he didn't want to destroy the turkey-it got a little frustrating.

Glurch-Kyle was really good sitting through a funeral this past week so Melanie got him some GLURCH!
