Christmas Time

We've been decking the halls at the Davidson home... how about you?  

Kendall decorated the felt tree all by herself

The kids helped us pick out a great Frasier Fir this year...

...and this is the 2nd time (I believe) that Micah has got to put the star on the top of the tree.  I'm sure soon he will pass the baton on to Kendall, just like it was passed on to him from Samuel!

The boys each wrote letters to Santa... Micah has been really into this lately - he has written Santa letters every day.  I don't mind because each one is helping with his writing!  :)  Bonus!  

Last weekend we did the first annual Carrillo 5k.  The kids loved earning medals!  

The last week of school before winter break was loaded with Christmas performances & holiday crafts, mug exchanges & class parties. 

  

 Last Sunday, we visited Sunshine Gardens and got to sit & talk with Santa himself.  Samuel asked for a robot that could clean up his room, and Micah asked for a nerf car and a nerf gun.  

Kendall was too afraid to get near Santa herself, but settled for this photo together with the whole family.  Later, she was worried that Santa wouldn't know what she wanted for Christmas, since she never told him.  I assured her he would know.  :)  

Then the kids took a ride on Bubbs, the pony.  

We sure are loving this holiday season so far, and hope you are too!  

Soccer Stars

From August through October, we enjoyed watching both of our boys play soccer & do great at it!  

Micah played with the San Elijo AYSO and loved having his next door neighbor on his team, as well as Andrew as the coach!  This was Micah's first time playing soccer, let alone a team sport!  Because of that he had a bit of a slow start and didn't want to play for his first couple games, but soon he figured it out and then couldn't get enough playing time!  He even scored his very first goal.  

His 1st day of soccer!  

            A slow start....                                 ...and then he loved to play!   

Samuel played with Carlsbad Galaxy U10 & Andrew enjoyed coaching along with 2 other player's dads.  The Tanks had a great season - scored lots of goals - and made it to the final round of the playoffs!!! 

Our little cheerleader - Kendall Rose - loved watching her brothers play every Saturday

 

These guys played 4 games in one weekend at the end-of-season tournament and made it to the finals, winning 2rd place!  Go Tanks & Go Samuel!

Both boys enjoyed playing soccer, and had super fun after-season parties & received trophies!  

Samuel's team, the Tanks, got together for a pizza party at Pizza Port to receive their trophies & watch the season DVD.  We are so proud of you Samuel!  

Micah's team, the Red Bulls, got together for frozen yogurt after the last game to receive their trophies.  

 Way to go Micah!

 

Kendall & her friend June (the little sister of another player), were the faithful cheerleaders each & every game! 

We are proud of our little soccer players (& their coach!)

Pumpkins & Halloween

We made it out to Bates for some pumpkins this year!  I always love getting photos of my own little pumpkins in a sea of orange pumpkins.  :)  

So...

Much...

...Cuteness!!!

Here's a good one of the 5 of us!  We don't always get photos of our whole clan, but this one turned out pretty good!  Happy Fall everyone!

For Halloween this year, the kids had fun dressing up as Yoda, Kylo Ren & Minnie Mouse!  

We had fun carving pumpkins too!  

Trick or Treating is so much fun - but passing out candy is even better for our Samuel!

And to finish this post off, please enjoy this adorable video of Kendall Rose singing a special Halloween song for you!
