Thanksgiving

We had Dinner at our house for the second year in a row this year. Last year we put the turkey in a brine for 24 hrs and this year we just did it the ol'fashion way. I did stuff it with onion and garlic. Here it is...

And this is what Brylee thought about it as my father-in-law carved it.

After dinner we enjoyed several games of LCR. It is a dice game that is fun for the whole family. Maycee and Mom taking turns.

Brylee thought she was winning, playing with Eric's Uncle Red.

Maycee and Uncle Cory.

Eric's turn and his mom keeping a close eye on him.

Brylee and I.

Kimberlen the PRO, I think she won the most.

Dads birthday Bash

Dads 60th Birthday cake I made.

He thought the party my mom planned was just a Holiday party......until he got a cake.

I could tell he really liked it. Good thing we gave it too him before all the drinks started flowing. He never fails to have a great birthday every decade or so.

Snow Day

Getting ready to go out and play in the great white stuff for the first time of the year.

She thought she could do it herself, but in the end she needed help.

Attempting a snowman.

Needing some help.

I did help and we built a snowgirl. Came inside to get warm and find eyes only to go out a few hours later and it fell and was starting to melt. We had some not too happy girls on our hands after that. But, we did have fun doing it.

Silly.......

The girls can be so silly and come up with some funny things during the day. Here is Brylee lying in the sunshine.

Here on the floor with her lamb. No she is not asleep but she pretends well.

Brylee's hedgehog mowhawk.

Maycee cleaning the chairs. She did this all by herself. I didn't know until she came and asked me to rinse out her rag.

Sweet thing.

My work Halloween

This is what it looked like three days before Halloween this year.

This is out the back.

Trunk or Treat with my Work. My mother and sister came along and Mom even dressed up.

This is my fiend Courtney as Hanna Montana.

Barb as UofU Cheer Leader and I as a biker chick.

Pumpkin Time

We started our adventure at the Black Island Farms. Here we are on the ride to get pumpkins.

Maycee found the one she wanted.

Brylee took Grandma all over to find the right one.

I bent down and told them to smile and this is what I got.

Brylee thought she was pretty tricky. She played with Daisee as we walked.

The GREAT slide. Kimberlen

Maycee

Grandma took a turn with Brylee so I could get a picture.

Train ride. Kimberlens not too happy but Brylee loved it.

Maycee and Nova loved it as well.

In the bounce house.

This is what we came back to at my parents. My Dad dressed up and was just sitting on the porch in the dark waiting for us. All the kids cried out of fear. It was awful for a while. Then they calmed down once they knew it was just Papa.

I don't think Maycee was ever okay with it. We stayed the night there and she thought he came into her room with his scary face in the middle of the night.

Finally Brylee just started laughing at him.

I put curlers in Kimberlen's hair for the next day. We had a party to go to.

Here is Kimberlen ready to go.

And Maycee ready too.

The two Cats. Brylee wouldn't let me take her picture or put on her hat, but she was a mouse.

Maycee and her friend Grace during craft time at the party.

Kimberlen was getting crafty too.

Stick the chewing gum on the witch's nose.

Pinata time. Everyone loves the Pinata. We now do this every year.

I was the one behind the string so I could move it out of the way.

The bigger kids were blind folded.

Then it was cookie decorating time. This is so fun and messy. It was a good this we were able to be outside this year.

The smaller kids table. They are just too cute.

As always we had a great time with our Halloween traditions. We have one more pumpkin carving party with my extended family each year and this year I was without a camera. I will try to get someones photos to post of that one.
