Thanksgiving Time...

 I can't believe how fast November went by! We were lucky to have grandma and grandpa Jones come up for the kids' Primary Program. 
 While they were here, the kids went on a 4 wheeler sledding ride around the neighborhood. They could have gone all day, except for that it's FREEZING up here already. I think Mother Nature has it out for us...just sayin'.
On a random side note, we've seen quite a few bald eagles up here lately. More than years past I think. Whitney and I love to see them fly. I just think they're so big and it kind of creeps me out. Something that big shouldn't be flying. We sure think they're pretty. This one was across the street. There were two originally, but one flew away when I opened my door to go outside to take a picture. 
 
 Then yesterday was Thanksgiving. 
 
Whitney wore this indian headband thing all day long. Tyler, on the other hand  wasn't into wearing the girlie pilgrim hat that Whitney had made. 
We spent the day with the Hallam's at their house. They are some friends of ours in our neighborhood. 
 
Josh smoked a turkey and it turned out wonderful. I sure do love that he likes to cook. It takes a lot of stress off of me!
 The Spread...
 Making turkeys with the kids...




 Then the kids watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" while the adults played games. I sure am not very good at games, I've decided. But they are fun nonetheless...
 Zachary even made a love connection...This little girl is SO cute. I wish you could see her face. Such a cutie!
 Anyway, we had a great November and are so thankful for all of our friends and family that support us in all we do. I don't know what I would do without our friends and family, they are such a big help to me. Now, let the craziness begin...Bring on December!

Halloween 2011

 Here's how it all went down...

Zach was a punk in more ways than one this year. I put this 'costume' together in about 10 minutes. Poor little guy. He's just not cut out for thug life I guess.
 Halloween Party...
 Love that hair!


Trunk or Treating...

Yes, I did get my craft on...
