Halloween & Thanksgiving 2011

I was about to give up on my blog.  In fact I already did...a while ago.  Could you tell by the lack of posts?  I'm almost a year behind!!  But due to recent family events I've decided to start blogging again to keep everyone up to date.  And that means...trying to update the last year of our life!  Yikes!  (Can you guess why I gave up on blogging??)  This also means that I will not be putting up EVERY SINGLE picture!  (woo hoo!) but will be giving little highlights. 

So last October was filled with pumpkin patches, Landon's 1st birthday, and Halloween.  Tyler's sister Jamie and her cute kids also came to visit us.  A year later, Carter still remembers that he was an elephant and Landon was a cow for Halloween.  We spent Halloween going to a ward trunk-or-treat.

 He's the one in the family with the biggest sweet tooth!

 Happy Halloween!  That's the cutest plaid elephant and cow I've ever seen ;)

November brought...Thanksgiving!  We went out to Chicago to my parents' new house and actually got the whole entire family together!  Not an easy feat when we're spread all over the country (and often all over the world!).  The cousins had a blast together and it was fun for all the siblings to hang out.  My grandparents even came out for it!  Who knows when in the next forseeable future that will ever happen again.  We had a yummy turkey dinner, went to a children's museum, went to Chuck-E-Cheese, and had a blast.  Carter still talks about playing hockey (air hockey) with his cousin Cohen.

That's it for tonight!  I'll keep updating tomorrow and hopefully we'll be all caught up.
