Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving was very fun this year. My brother Paul had all of us at his house. (over 40 people) The kids had a blast playing with each other and all of Paul's fun toys. The little kids stayed inside, but the older kids rode 4-wheelers. The guys watched a movie, while the girls looked at all the ads for Black Friday. I have most all of my shopping done, so nothing tempted me to get up at 4:00 am. Actually, there is very little that would ever tempt me to get up that early! It was a good day and we were reminded once again how much we miss my dad, especially on holidays. Here are a few pictures:

Halloween!

I'm a little slow at posting our Halloween pictures. We've had a lot going on lately.

The kids really enjoyed it this year. The girls dressed up as Cinderella and Easton was a football player. We had a ward Trunk-0r-Treat on Thursday, which was so fun. After the kids finished getting all of their candy we left and went to see Grandma Jeniece, Paul, Soni, Danette, and Wade. They got a good laugh at the kids in there costumes.
On Friday, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Allen's house for a little party. Boone's brother and his family were there also. We had pizza and the kids went trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. Afterwards we went home to give out candy. I think Madison liked this just as much as receiving candy. She wouldn't even wait for the kids to come to the door. If she saw them in the street she would open the door and yell, "Come on guys, get some candy." She was very good at being on candy patrol, too. She made dang sure that Kenzie and Easton didn't get one piece of candy out of the bowl unless she had one, too. Which was about every few minutes!

The kids were on a sugar high for two days with all of the candy and I have to admit, Boone and I have had our share of candy too!
