So Thankful...

Thanksgiving was different for us this year. It was our first Thanksgiving at our own home! We missed the chaos of all the Aunts/Uncles/Cousin-Fun, but we were SO GRATEFUL that my parents could join us! The kids are in HEAVEN with them around (me being one of the kids)!

The kids had a ball riding around the yard in the Ranger, going for walks, painting their toes (the girls), cuddling, reading books and eating ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa!

We went light on the pies this year... only 5 instead of 17! They were Delicious, and as always, made by Brian (but I usually get the credit). :)

We are so blessed!

Sisterly love...

Look closely at the difference between the pictures...

... I can't stop laughing about it!

(I didn't even realize the "drama" until I was looking at the pictures later on!)

Halloween 2011

Another successful Home-made Halloween! We just love this Holiday! Maybe next year I will have time to make a costume for me! (I doubt it :)

No magician costume is complete without a REAL bunny!

I've never seen a more Beautiful Butterfly!

She always comes up with her very own poses (they are the best ones)!

Gavin said his Alligator costume was going to scare everyone so much that they would scream and throw all their candy at him and then they would run away. Of course, that is Exactly what happened!

Everyone decides what they want to be, and then they help me create it!

Our little Alivia Joy was an owl. Well, she says it "AH-YOOL." She helped a lot with this costume... by taking a few very good NAPS!

Until next year! (We already have big plans!)
