Thanksgiving was awesome this year as usual. I didn’t take as many pictures this year as I usually do but it was just as great.

We spent the day before making pies. Yummm!

I got up at 5am to start cooking (that is my favorite part of Thanksgiving. Honestly!).

We invited the Butt Family and Toh (pronounced ‘toe’) Family for dinner this year. We had fun with that!

We started puking that night…. :o(

All in all a fabulous day. LOVE LOVE LOVE Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving leftovers! Read the rest of this entry »

Niah had her 7th birthday in November. She is hard to shop for. She is an animal lover, I am not….

So one day he calls and the next thing we know we have a pile almost to the top of our garage door and takes up half our driveway. Read the rest of this entry »

We had so much fun doing Halloween this year. A little crazier than usual since we lost all of September. But it turned out GREAT. The kids helped A LOT with their costumes this year as did Scott with his. Read the rest of this entry »
