Thankful........ November 29th

My mom took me to the Dicken's Festival in 2002. And I was hooked!! I love it. And I loved it every year. When Raleigh and I moved up North, I wasn't able to go and I had a hole in my heart. But, today I was able to go again. It is at the Dixie Center and you weave in and out of little booths of Christmas wares. And each booth is decorated with lights and in Old London Style. And the booth owners are dressed in costumes like they would wear in Oliver or A Christmas Carole. We didn't buy anything. And our Big Stroller filled with children was too big to stop anywhere even if we wanted to buy something. We ate bread bowls filled with Chicken and Dumpling Soup and Raleigh had a delicious crepe.

I am not sure what these creatures are but they meander through the walkways and scare the little children.

Look at the Grim Reaper with his hand on Morgan's head.

Then we stopped and visited with Santa.

Here they are... Happy, Terrified and Completely Uncertain. You can't please everyone..... every year ya know.

Then we dropped all of the tired children off at home and Raleigh and I met Kami over at Jazzy's to watch Brayden's Band Perform. They are a ska band called "The Citizens" and they are really good and the crowd loved them. And so did I.

We had a really fun day enjoying all the things that our community has to offer.

It's November 29.......... and I am Thankful for Traditions and Talented Children

Ellsworth Party of Four said...: I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Dickens Festival...by far the best event at the Dixie Center...other than the marathon EXPO of course :)
Ry looks DARLING in that picture with Santa.
And "The Citizens"...I was impressed. I am so excited to go to the next show and wear my skankin shoes. I was a little jealous that Jamie was out there and I just sat and watched in my high heels...what was thinking??; November 29, 2012 at 8:34 AM

Your littke kids look darling with Santa. You can almost know what each are thinking by just looking at their little faces. So sweet!
As for Brayden that is so cool! I'd love to come see his cool band!; December 1, 2012 at 12:08 PM

Who we are, where we've been and where we are going

We are the Lunds. And some of us are Koenigs. And this is our life. I am Kaci and I am the creator/author/historian of this blog. What I write, I write with two goals in mind... To keep my family totally and completely involved in all of our doings and to keep a record of our life events. That is all it is...

I had four children from a previous marriage as well as a whole lot of baggage. And maybe that might have discouraged a lesser man from pursuing me, but luckily for me the stars aligned and a very good, honest, brave, not to mention super sexy boy took a chance on me. And pursue me he did... to flattering proportions.

In 2008, I married the Love of My Life. I didn't know being married could be this wonderful and happy. I didn't know that being in love feels like THIS. I didn't know that truly being loved and correctly taken care of is the greatest blessing a girl can have in her life. I thank my Heavenly Father a few times a day for guiding my path to the greatest of my treasures. It was a rough and long road but so worth the journey.

In 2009, we had our Sweet Peyton. She is a Lund all the way from her confidence level and mild mannered disposition right on down to her perfectly round and rather large head. What a blessing she is to our home and our life.

In 2010, we had Kaleigh. She is little and darling but don't let her tiny stature fool you. This girl can take care of herself. She climbs on EVERYTHING!!! And is afraid of NOTHING!

What a complete joy she has been, our little elf.

And in 2011, we had Ryker. We weren't really sure what to do with a boy. It's been a long time. But he is the exclamation point on our little family and we love him with all of our hearts.

My "big kids" (I call them), mean the world to me. I could not do this without them. They make me laugh, keep me young, make me feel pretty, lighten my load, make me proud, love me anyway and challenge me too. We've been through a lot,

the five of us, but they are superior kids because they've weathered the storm.

We are a pretty crazy and energetic family. There are constant comings and goings and hysterical happenings. These are our stories. And they are all true. Flowered up maybe, but certainly true.

Enjoy
