Annual Family Fall Festival!!!!

Rolling, rolling, rolling......

Thomas, happy as a clam!

Please remember those happy faces......in a moment you will see what happens when they run out of dough........

Um, we didn't cook his dough.

I love this shot. It's kind of like a "Where's Waldo?", except it's "Where's Jasmine?" Do you see her cute little eyes peeking through???

There she is, Beautiful girl!!!!

Uh-oh, I told you it was coming......"My dough is all gone."

The look of pure happiness!!!! Cookies are done!!!

Are they hilarious?? Can we keep the frosting in our mouths???

Let the fishing begin!!!! Jasmine could really care less about that pole.....

Izzy on the other hand is taking his job very seriously. He's a backwards fisherman. It's all in the technique. Must have something to do with the way he wears his hats......

Oh yeah, she's happy now!!

Yup, her too!!

Oh my, can you believe all these smiles!!! You would think they were catching something really good!!

He can hardly stand the wait!!

Now that is some serious strain on the line!!! Must be a Marlin!!!

It's so hard to be cool when you are fishing with your younger siblings....why yes, that little spot of white on his cheek is frosting, thanks for asking!!!

But you are never, never too old to fish!!

Never! Do you see that smile????

No this was not my costume. I was the "Hat holder" for Tanner while he was fishing. The Oregon Duck game was on that night and he had 2 Duck hats on....at the same time.

Another Family Fall Festival has come and gone! We were trying to remember how long we have been doing these......I know it started back when we lived in Arizona. I just couldn't see the point of taking our kiddos out to collect candy from the neighbors. It just made no sense to me at all. The cost of the costumes, the weather, not to mention the amount of candy we would come home with. It was just crazy. We decided to start having our own Fall Family Festival. We have pretty much done the same thing each year.

We usually do face painting, bobbing for apples, a cake walk, decorating sugar cookies, fishing pond, and sometimes watch a fun movie together.

This year we ended up decorating sugar cookies, doing the fishing pond and watching Ice Age 3 while we ate Cheesy popcorn and carmel apples!!

Everyone had a great time!!
