Cookie Party

  We had our 14th annual Cookie Party this year.  Heather was kind enough to let us have it at her house again this year.  With all the yucky sicknesses going around we were grateful those that made it did and missed those that couldn't.  As always we did our potato soup dinner, caravaned around to see Christmas lights and ended with cookies and milk.

The Christmas Toy Store

  The girls had their Christmas program and for Mrs. Claunch's last year they did the play she did the first year she started teaching in Arbon, The Christmas Toy Store.  I got to be in Mrs. Claunch's first round of this play and I was the Momma Bear.  Kabree got to be Momma Bear in their version, Keagan got to be the Nurse Doll and Wyatt was the Clown Doll.  The kids all did a great and had so much fun practicing and performing their play.

Hysell Family Party

  We got to spend time with Grandpa Mark and Grandma Cindi and most of the Hysell family.  Uncle Bill and Aunt Dee came, Saeward and the kids (Dave work), and Denver and Lacey.  The girls got to open their gifts from Grandpa and Grandma and got spoiled as always!!  Kabree got a manikin head with hair accessories and Keagan got lots of American Girls doll accessories.
  We had a taco bar and then the kids got to decorate cookies.  We spent the rest of the afternoon just enjoying everyones company.  We are so grateful for ALL the wonderful people in our lives!

Halloween Fun

  I got to do hot lunch the 30th so I decided to do a couple fun Halloween things ;). 

  

  As always Halloween is a crazy jam packed holiday for the Tarbets.  Zach went as Bret Michaels, Kabree a Ninja and Keagan a peacock.  The kids said they had a blast at their school party!  I picked them up right after school and headed to ICCU's carnival.  We only got to be there a little bit before heading back to Arbon for the Trunk-Or-Treat then off to do a little door to door to those who didn't make it to the Trunk-Or-Treat.  The kids said they were exhausted but had fun and to say they made a hall would be a HUGE understatement! 

Carving Pumpkins

  The girls were excited to carve pumpkins.  Zach did one after helping Keagan with hers and I helped Kab with hers.  Grandpa and Grandma did one together.  They turned out great!
