Thanksgiving

We had a good relaxing Thanksgiving. We stopped at my parents for a short visit and then went to Bryans parents for the rest of the day. Bryans mom makes the best apple pie ever, so we always look forward to that.

This is what happens when you eat too much! Notice how Bryan's arm looks. That is because he fell asleep holding Hailey, but Hailey wasn't ready for the nap like dad was!

Hailey is into eyes and noses lately. Carter was being very patient as Hailey inspected his face.
We put up our tree a couple days ago(yes we cheated and put it up before Thanksgiving). I was looking forward to putting it up because we haven't had a "big" tree up for years. Thanks mom and dad for the beautiful tree! Carter had a blast "helping" me decorate it. There have been several times that Carter has been talking to me, and in the middle of the sentence he stops, looks at the tree, and says "mom isn't the tree just beautiful?"

Hailey is enjoying the tree also. She has started rolling quite a bit more the last few days, just so she can get closer to it.

Family Pics

We got our family pictures taken a couple weeks ago. The kids did not feel like cooperating so they didn't turn out as well as I hoped, but we got a couple okay pics. The last picture shows how Carter was really feeling!

HALLOWEEN FUN!!

Maya, Hailey and Carter in the their costumes. Carter filled his bucket up all the way to the top this year! He kept saying " This is Spooky Fun", and " This day just gets better and better".

We took the kids to a carnival at the elementary school before trick-or-treating. There was a game that you could win a goldfish. We were all over that one since Carter has been asking for a fish for quite some time now. We had to have Dad get in on the action to win us a goldfish. Carter was thrilled and the next day we went to Petsmart to get a "friend" for his goldfish.
