Christmas in October

Another year rolled around and it was time for Christmas in October.  Mikayla had been counting down the days until the party for weeks.  The of the party she prayed "thank you that it could be Christmas in October".  She was so excited!  

We have a lot of fun traditions for the day and it didn't disappoint this year, except for Grandma was sick and didn't make it.   Before the party we hit up the Benson Butterfield Days parade, then it was off to Grandpa's pond for the festivities...homemade rootbeer, green chili burritos, coin hunt in the sand pile, gift exchange for the cousins, white elephant exchange for the adults, service project, pinata, hay rides on Grandad's tractor, and pie to end the evening.  So much fun!
The blue tarps we used for shade made for some very crazy coloring of pictures, but I'm too lazy to change it right now.
