Ugly Sweater Party

We kicked of our Holiday Season with a super awesome "ugly sweater" party at our friends the Nielsen's.  Jake and i got our sweaters from goodwill, then took them home and added a little "robinson touch" to them.   they turned out pretty good!!

 Jake actually won an award for "most creative" ugly sweater!...yeah, don't ask about the dog!

 here we are with the hosts...Elizabeth and Scott...thanks guys!

School FEAST!!!

Blaine's class at school had a thanksgiving feast, and man it was a FEAST!!  the kids had potatoes, cranberries, stuffing, jello, salad, rolls, and of course turkey!  my sister Diana made this super cute turkey cake that the kids gobble gobbled up!  

after the feast they put on a play with the rest of the school...they sang a song about a turkey shooting out of the oven.  it was really cute!  all of them were cutie little turkeys!

Desert Museum

it finally cooled off enough to go to the desert museum...so we went with the hubers!!  we had fun learning about the animals that live around here!  mostly birds, reptiles and bugs...but still pretty cool!

 Ty loved this Gila monster!!  he has been obsessed with Monsters Inc lately and this gila monster kind of looked like Randall...so he kept pointing and saying Randall Randall

 we did get up close to a sleeping mountain lion.  kind of cool, but i'm glad it was asleep and behind thick glass!!

cute ty trying to keep up with the big kids!

happy halloween
