Christmas Elves-a little early
Last year I did this funny ElfYourself thing online and the boys got a big kick out of it. So today when I received the reminder email from them, I went and made another one. This year, Alex helped me with all of the pictures. He wanted to have Daddy in it with us, as well as cousin Haydn. So hopefully this will give everyone a good laugh:

Parades, pumpkins and pirates!!
Hello everyone! We hope you all had a great Halloween. Alex called it "The best Halloween ever." Next year I'm sure he'll say that again. But the boys had a great Halloween and loved their costumes.
Here are the most recent pictures of the boys.
We start with our little adventure to the Boo At The Zoo. It was at Hogle Zoo and while it was fun, there were literally THOUSANDS of people there. Chris forwarded me an email that said they had record attendance. It was a little over 23,000 people that showed up that day!! Judging by the lines and the parking, I believe it! But the boys had fun and we may try it again next year, we'll just go earlier. We went trick or treating to a few different posts and got to see lots of fun costumes.
We've noticed lately how much of a Chameleon Alex is. His eyes change color with what he wears, it's really cool!
Alex, showing his "HULK FACE", without the mask.
This is just a funny picture of Alex. Grammy and Poppy sent him these shoes for his birthday. (THANK YOU!!!) He loves them SO much that for the first few days after he got them, he'd put them on as soon as he woke up. They came with a little comic book that he likes to read and for some reason, he put on the goggles while he was reading it the other day. So here he is, in his jammies, with the shoes on and the goggles. I didn't manage to catch him with them over his eyes, but this is still funny.
Here are the boys carving and painting their pumpkins. Alex decided to make his a HULK pumpkin to match his costume and Andy painted his red like "James the train".
Next we have boys up at Auntie La-la's (Lynda's) house, getting ready for the neighborhood Halloween parade. For the past few years, the boys have just watched, this year they really wanted to walk in it.
After the parade and a yummy pumpkin pizza at Lynda and Guy's house, we went to the Halloween party at Grandma Mary and Papa John's ward. Last year we did the trunk-or-treating there and had a great time, so we went there again. Aunt Caitie and her fiancee Rob came in their pirate costumes. Rob was Captain Jack Sparrow and Caitie was a pirate too. They were great costumes and the boys had a great time getting TONS of candy. Poor Andy was getting kind of tired and had a little fever, so any picture I took of him, he looked like this in: (Alex of course thinks these pictures are hysterical.)
This is cousin Christopher:
Last but not least, we came home and got some pictures of our pumpkins on display:
We've had a busy few weeks with the boys' birthdays, school and everything else. But Alex is doing really well in preschool still and is still totally loving it. He has a little crush on a girl named Bree in his class. He talks about her all the time and tells me about things that he wants to take for show and tell so she can see. It's very cute. The boys are very excited for the holidays and can't wait to get the Christmas decorations out. I told them we had to wait at least a few weeks before we do that, but we've already started listening to Christmas music. Alex knows all of the words to the Chipmunks' "Christmas Don't Be Late" and Andy really likes "I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas". We are already playing them over and over, I'm not sure they'll last for two more months.
We hope everyone is doing well and the boys send lots of love!
