LONG Overdue...

I basically just needed to get Halloween off so we are moving on to Thanksgiving....We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my parents with Rob's family too! It was a great day. I had not been with my mom and dad on Thanksgiving in like 11 years. Crazy! Just another reason it is so great having them live here!
The hosts...

Gabe and Syd made some place cards for everyone

Talking to Wes and Carrie on the web cam...we missed them!

The Girls...

The kids with their Great-Grandmom Bet...

Syd fully participated in a football game with Rob, Dave and Gabe....She totally held her own!

Love this pic.

Happy to all be together!

Syd and Mom won our game of Aggravation.

What a GREAT day!

I HEART Halloween!

I have always LOVED Halloween and dressing up. The last couple of years we have been going to an awesome Costume party which has brought out some great costumes! (Including us as Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone from Anchorman and the winning look last year of Rob as Michael Phelps...speedo and all). The hosts of this party didn't have it this year which was upsetting because I like to have an excuse to dress up. So, a friend of mine and I decided to have one ourselves.... We had some great costumes show up! Here are some pics from that...

Rob and I as Jon and Kate Gosselin

Me belittling him....

The other hosts, Maverick and Charlie from Top Gun

Me and my mom the leopard

(Guess where I got my love for dressing up?)
The second place winner, the fundamental mormon...so funny!

Dave and Rachel as a bunny and the Unibomber...

And the winning costume went to Justin as Richard Simmons.....he was doing a routine and all!
It was A LOT of fun! Just might have to be an annual event!

Then on Halloween we trick or treated with this kids as the whole Skywalker family! Gabe gets into dressing up too and so he wanted Rob and I to dress up as Darth Vader and Padme Amidala (Luke and Leia's mom and dad). So we did! Gabe was the perfect Luke Skywalker and Syd was the beautiful Princess Leia. We had lots of fun and I am so glad that my love to dress up has been passed on to my kids!!!




The whole fam...

Trick or Treat!
Until next year!
