Thanksgiving Break

I love Thanksgiving; It is my favorite holiday! It's a time to be with family, celebrate what you are thankful for and EAT!!! That's the best part; I'm not going to lie. I made Thanksgiving dinner again this year and Cris and Jim were down visiting. We got to enjoy their company for 4 days! :) We went to Walmart a lot, played outside (the weather was beautiful), ate lots of food (not only Thanksgiving dinner, but lots of junk food), played Euchre, worked on my car (well, Jim did - THANK YOU!), went to the movies (New Moon and Ninja Assassin), and jumped out of a plane. Yes, you heard right. I went skydiving! So did Cris! Our first time! It was awesome! I encourage everyone to do it at least once. :) Then just like that the week was over and Cris and Jim were heading back to Michigan. We were sad to see them go, but it's nice to know that we will see them again in 13 days (along with other family members and friends). I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving as well. Next up...Christmas!

Happy Halloween!

Today is Halloween and I'm hoping that everyone has a great one! We went to Sheri-Lynne's for a Halloween party. It was fun. I was reminded of how youngsters act when they are excited...they are loud, rambuncious and they don't listen very well. I left the party with a headache, but it was worth it because we all had fun and we all dressed up. We haven't decided if we are going to to "Trick or Treating." If we do, Greyson will be a construction worker (it requires no face paint). The following pictures are a little out of order...but I hope you enjoy.
