On our way home from Thanksgiving we stopped in Lewiston to see the Christmas lights. They were so cool! There was a light train, a real train where you could ring the bell, dancing bears, an igloo, a lighted walk way that changed colors as you walked and a huge colored tree with a dance floor that activated the lights. Tytan loved dancing and running around the floor making the lights flash. The babies loved the lights and for once, didn't mind wearing their winter coats.
Last winter Shane went fishing and ran over a set of antlers in the snow. He brought them home and gave them to Tytan. They have become his prized posession. He keeps them in his closet and is only allowed to bring them out when the babies are sleeping. Tytan loves playing Bambi with them. Meaning, he sings the theme song of Bambi, holds an antler in each hand and fights with the antlers. We have a ton of deer that hang out in our back yard and Tytan likes to watch out the windows for them. If he is awake earlier than I am in the morning, I usually wake up to him standing at the window yelling to me that there is a mommy and baby deer in our back yard.
We finally got around to taking some family pictures. It is sure hard to get three kids to look the same direction. When we were in Emmett for Thanksgiving we had Shane's niece Jordan and his sister Kelly snap a few shots in his Grandma's wooded back yard. Quite a few of them turned out really nice. Here Jaxon is with me and Madox is with Shane.
Tytan was a pro at trick-or-treating this year. We went with our neighbor Laden who was dressed as a clown. Tytan knocked, said "Trick-or-Treat" and "Thank you" at each door. We only made it about three blocks over and three blocks down, but it was fun. The funniest thing about the whole night was both boys held the favorite (so far) candy in hand, until it was replaced by the new favorite of the night. There was always a piece of candy in hand and Tytan's Dots won the contest. The babies rode along in the stroller and somehow we forgot to take a picture of them.
This year's trip to the pumpkin patch was so different with little ones along for the ride. It was freezing outside so we went to the big red barn first with the twins bundled up in the stroller. Tytan jumped in the big ball pit and went through the corn maze, but by the time we were ready to pick pumpkins, the line for the tractor ride was so long we had to get the babies back in the car. We headed out the the WSU Tukey Orchard to find our pumpkins. We kept the twins in the car and first, Shane and Tytan picked our family pumpkins and then, Tytan and I went on the tractor ride around the fields. It was fun but a little wierd to not do all of the activities as a family.
Believe it or not, these are the first pictures we have taken of the boys bathing. I guess bathing two at a time keeps your hands too busy to snap a picture. The boys have become very fond of the bathtub. If I leave the bathroom door open, the two travel down the hall and stand on the side of the tub yelling at each other. Jaxon is very calm in the tub and plays with whatever toys float his way. Madox on the other hand is like a chipmunk on coffee. He stands, sits, spins, turns, lays out flat and twists faster than I can keep track of where I scrubbed. His baths end up being about 1 minute and he has about 5 bumps on his head before he gets kicked out. Hopefully the thrill of the bath with come to an end soon and they will just hang out with the toys like their big brother does. Tytan would spend hours in the tub if I would let him.
The twins love to stand up on anything they can grab on to. They are helping Daddy load the dishwasher, but pull the plastic cups out faster than he can put them in. 
The purple kitchen, and yes this is all I will show off because the sink was full of dirty dishes and the cabinets, countertops and floor are on our list of things to do!
I love the number plate. It is so cute!
