Family Pics

We did family pictures with Colin's family a couple of weeks and got a few taken of just us. I tried to upload them all, but wasn't having much luck, so this is all you get.

Thanksgiving 2011

We had a really great Thanksgiving weekend this year. We ate Thanksgiving Dinner with Colin's family and of the course all the food was delicious. I made yams, fruit salad and a couple of pies. All of my food turned out to be pretty tasty, so that made me happy. We mostly just spent that day eating and sitting around...just the way it should be.

Friday we got up early and went shopping for a few hours and then splurged and went to Olive Garden for lunch. :) I love their soup, salad and breadsticks. hmmmmm!!!! Later on in the day we took the kids to the mall to see Santa. Hayden was really excited and ran right up and sat on his lap. I thought Carson would be scared of him, but he wasn'tt scared at all. He was thrilled to sit on his lap and even talked to him a little. I was very proud of both of them.

On Saturday Lee and Leah offered to watch the kids so Colin and I could go to a movie. We went and saw Tower Heist, which actually was a pretty good movie but had a little too much inappropriate humor...why do they do that????? After the movie and naps we headed up to Salt Lake to see the lights at Temple Square. We rode Trax up from Sandy and went out to eat at a really good restaurant. I cant remember the name, but it was a southwestern grill at Gateway.

Halloween Week

Our Halloween started off last Saturday with a Murder Mystery Party that we hosted. It was set in the 50's so we got to dress up in poodle skirts and leather jackets. We had a ton of fun, but sadly I have no pictures to prove the fun we had. I took pics on my phone and long story short they got deleted!! I am so sad, but life must go on!!

I had to dress my kids up about six times this past week. Preschool Halloween Party, Up With Kids party, BYU carnival, My parents took the kids to their ward party, our ward Trunk or Treat, and of course Halloween day.

Colin missed all the fun because he was in PARIS!!! Lucky boy! He got back Sunday so he was able to take the kids trick or treating on Monday.

The best part of Halloween was the weather. It was the first time in years that it was freezing cold or pouring rain.
