You can tell from the pink cheeks it was really warm!

Cute boys at Knott's Berry Farm

Johnny's Birthday dinner at Riley's Farm in Oak Glen.  It was dinner and a play "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."  We got to go on a themed hayride and play various games.  It was a LOT of fun and William still talks about the Headless Horseman.

Ella, Carter and Claire with cast from the show

First grade dance show (they learned various dances for PE for a month and then demonstrated them for parents)--Claire is dead center in light blue

Snuggling with brother after the show

Date night to go bowling after Claire filled her "Awesome Jar."  She got a marble every time she did something awesome:).  She picked bowling and ice cream with mom.  

Receiving a HOWL award for Academic Excellence and refusing to smile

Silly face

Another silly face!

Minecraft pizza party--Danny & Claire had a daddy/daughter activity at church so Carter (and I) hosted a Minecraft party.  His friends came over and we made pizza and then they played a whole lot of Minecraft.  They all had their own devices so they could join the same "server" and play together.  It was really cute to hear them strategize and plan together.  It was a fun night and we plan on doing it again soon!

William excited about his pizza

Boys eating dinner

The gift baskets we prepared for Danny's coworkers at Fontana USD.  After almost 10 years at the district, it was bittersweet for Danny to leave.  He has wonderful friends and colleagues there.  I used Pinterest to get some ideas and we created this: Owl miss you going the EXTRA mile:

…the NOTES you write!

…keeping me JUICED up w/pedagogical PEDs!

…sharing GERMS during cold season.

…bandaging INJURIES.

…enjoying fine CHOCOLATES  together.

…sharing Sarah’s healthy COOKIES.

…working through many SEASONS together.

…and all the things I MINT to get done!J

In the end, I just want to say thanks a LATTE for all you’ve done for me!

I was really please with how cute they turned out:)

William refused to wear his Halloween costume he insisted I buy on ebay (a horse) so we have no good Halloween pics of all of them but we did have a fun night with chili at our house and trick or treating in our neighborhood with cousins and friends!
