Happy Turkey day

The only difference is Brad is in one and I am in the other.
Growing up I went to my Grandma's house for Thanksgiving. Usually that meant there were about 110 people there. I loved playing all day and eating and I want my kids to experience the same thing. It's harder now that we live away from family. But this year we were really blessed to not only have my parents and my brother here, but some great friends too. It was a very great day. I just wouldn't know what to do with a quiet calm Turkey day.

Trick-or-treat & Happy Birthday

First of all I have to apologize that most of these pictures are blurry. The kids enjoy playing with the camera and have dropped it one too many times and it's now cracked, so there you have it. With that said, here are a few pictures of the kids getting ready to go to the church for the Trunk-or-Treat. Brad was out of town this year so I was doing Halloween by myself. But we got a really nice treat of Brad coming home at 9:30 5 days earlier than he was supposed to be home. That was my Halloween treat.
These two boys are really good friends and I just think this picture is so cute.
I asked Mitchell a few days before Halloween if he was going to dress up and he said " No, it's too scary" So we threw the Linus t-shirt on him and called it good.
Isaac was a stormtrooper. He had a mask, but I didn't even give it to him because we were going to the Church and I didn't want to fight him to take it off all night. The kids were dressed in their costumes by about 11:00 am. They were really excited.
Gracie was a witch and I dressed up as a witch for the night as well. But Gracie looks cuter.
I had a Birthday last week (31) and Brad got an A+ for the day. He took the day off work, bought me awesome presents, and planned an awesome dinner with some awesome friends. It was a great day/night.
I went to an accessories store and was able to get some much needed Jewelry. I put it all on at once to show it off. My mom went to San Fransisco and bought me some Jade ear rings and those are in there too.
Of course the kids had to help me with my cupcake. Brad had a mini celebration with the kids in the afternoon, and then I had a great cake and yummy ice cream later at my birthday dinner.
My VERY cute kids. I got a lot of birthday hugs and kisses and Gracie wrote me a very sweet note.
One of my wonderful presents was this great Twilight shirt. I am a little obsessed and Brad is nice enough to go along with it. Thanks to all who made it such a great day this year!
