Parties Parties Parties!!!!

This year we had 2 Christmas parties....one with my co-workers and one with my dearest girl friends. It's such a great time to gather the families for ONO food, good company, countless laughs and plenty of gifts to share! Having these get togethers are a great tradition that my family looks forward to each year!

Makoa's preschool had a field trip to Aloun Farms Pumpkin Patch. He had so much fun hunting for pumpkins with his friends and riding the hay ride. It was hot and the pumpkins were heavy, but in the end the kids had so much fun, I guess it was all worth it?!!! :)
