Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. In the morning we spent a lot of time cooking and looking through sale ads from the newspaper. Then in the afternoon we had a wonderful feast. It was nice to be able to have lots of time together as a family. We truly have so much to be thankful for.

Happy Birthday Julia!

Julia had a blast on her birthday. She got to have some friends over for a get together, got to go shopping, had a pizza dinner, got to open presents, and got to eat a special cake. It is amazing that she is already two years old. We have to admit she’s really growing up now.

Halloween!

Joshua left the door open one night when he came home and somehow a bat and penguin got in. We thought they were both really cute so we took them out trick-or-treating. Julia actually got to get candy three times; one at the Stillwater downtown party for kids, again at the ward trunk-or-treat (where we won the contest again for best carved pumpkin), and again when Joshua took her out to some houses. Joshua said that she got really good at saying “next house.”

Sitting

Ethan has been practicing his sitting lately. Luckily we were able to catch a long stretch on video.

Look-a-like Contest

We are not really sure who Ethan looks like now. Some people say he is a dead-ringer for Joshua, while others say he sees my features in him. What do you think?

Homecoming

Homecoming was great again this year. My brother Ryan came to visit and participate in the festivities. On Friday night we met up with Mark, Angela, Kristen, and Kent (Joshua’s Uncle’s family) and walked around to see the house displays. The next morning we all met up to see the parade. Julia really enjoyed seeing the animals and getting lots of parade candy (we were able to use a lot of it to pass out at Halloween a week later).
