Thanksgiving

We had a really wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Delicious food, time with family, topped off with Black Friday shopping. So much fun! Throughout November we did a Thankful Tree in preparation for the big day. Each day the girls said something that they were thankful for, I wrote it down on a leaf, and they hung it on the tree.

Their lists included...

Adalyn's:

• My sister Quincy
• Mom & Dad
• Apples
• Carpet
• Grandparents
• Cats & Tigers
• Bread

Quincy's:

• Adalyn
• Pumpkins
• Jesus
• Popcorn
• Hugs
• Cheese
• Shirt

It was a lot of fun hearing the different things that they came up with, and really reminded me to be more grateful for the little things. I think the Thankful Tree will become a tradition in our home.

Hope everyone's Turkey Day was as fun as ours!

Family Pictures

Our amazingly talented sister-in-law, Becky, took some family pictures for us when we went out to visit them. Here are some of my favorites (though it was hard to pick!)...

Thanks Becky... we absolutely love how these turned out!! You are the best!

October 2011

Our October was full of fun. It all started at Cornbelly's. The kids had a blast bouncing in bounce houses, dressing up, playing on wooden trains, and riding a the cow carts.

Next we went to a Halloween Carnival in my parents ward. There was food, games, crafts, cookie decorating, and more candy than you would believe! So much fun!

We also had a friend's Halloween Party that we all dressed up for...

Then there were the Witches at Gardener Village. This is always a fun family night!

The girls found a stage and just couldn't help themselves...

Our Ward Trunk Or Treat was the Wednesday before Halloween and the girls loved it. Complete with a spook alley that Adalyn could have kept going through all night!

Halloween: We started our day with a spooky lunch. I found this idea on Pinterest:

But I think it will become a tradition in our house because this was the result:

We had a great Halloween night as well. The girls started by Trick or Treating with some of thier friends. Afterwards, we headed home for some soup with Grandma and Grandpa Wayment. Then we did some more Trick or Treating with Grandma and Grandpa. Adalyn could have kept going all night long if we would have let her!

October was super busy for us, but it was just as much fun!
