Halloween, Birthdays, and Thanksgiving.


Now that Christmas is quickly approaching, I guess it's time for another update.  Fall is a busy time for our family. S turned 1 on October 7.



The kids had lots of fun carving pumpkins for Halloween and Trick-or-Treating.









G turned 6 November 21.  She invited a few friends from school to get their nails painted with her, lots of fun and pink cupcakes!  We had a small cake at home on her birthday.





We visited family this year for Thanksgiving.  All my siblings except 2 of my brothers were home for Thanksgiving.  It was good to see everyone again.  We had a great meal and lots of fun cooking together, even if it was late when we finally ate.  Everything was delicious!

We went to visit more family too.  Dad really wanted to spend some time hunting.  He finally got his first deer too, two actually.  We will have a well stocked freezer this winter.  It's been a while since we've had a wagon ride on Grandpa's farm, but we had a great time, and some goofy kids.  Just wish I could take better pictures.

B turned 8 on November 28.  Once again he was sick on his birthday this year.  Poor guy almost never gets sick, but he's been sick on his birthday more times then he'd like to remember probably.  He skipped birthday lunch Grandma had made for him and we traveled home with a "party bucket" thankful we didn't need to use it.  When he was feeling better we had birthday cheesecake...so yummy!  He sure knows how to pick a good cake.  So funny to watch him eat it too, he savored every bite.  I've never seen him eat anything that slowly.  We are looking forward to his baptism after Christmas.
