Thanksgiving


We hosted Thanksgiving this year for the Norris Family. Bree, James their three girls and Dee were able to attend. We had a great time playing games, having a nerf/balloon turkey shoot and eating lots of yummy food. For breakfast we had Idaho Quiche and a fruit turkey. I couldn't believe that the kids ate the WHOLE thing!! For our turkey shoot we pumped up balloons and hung them from the ceiling. The least artistic person in the family had to draw turkeys on the balloons. (I should stick to cooking!) Then we had three rounds of shooting the balloons with a nerf gun. I came in first and Grammy came in second. Everyone else was left in the dust.  I mentioned to my kids that there was a lesson to be learned here. If I ever have to to shoot them, I won't miss. ;) We had our thanksgiving feast and it was pretty yummy if I do say so myself. We all rolled away from the table afterwards. We spent the rest of the day playing games, looking at ads and enjoying each other's company.  The rest of the weekend was consumed with the Nutcracker but I will save those details for another post.

Halloween 2013


 I have a confession. I didn't take a single photo on Halloween! I know terrible. I don't know what happened. Oh wait yes I do. I have 4 kids going 4 different directions all at the same time! Well after Halloween I did a photo session with my kids in their costumes and with my new lights and back drop. It was fun practice for me and I think the kids had fun too! I have around 200+ photos of Allie. She kept posing herself in different ways and kept saying take my picture like this and this and this.... I finally told her she killed my camera. Lucky for you I am only posting two of each kid well except for Allie. I think I narrowed it down to 4. ;)

Mikele - Le Bellatrix Lestrange (from Harry Potter. She was Hermione a few years ago. Apparently she has gone to the dark side.)
Allie - Cat (she wanted to be a cast ghost. No idea what that is but we convinced her to just be a cat.)
Kassie - A cute witch
Brock - Sophisticated old man.
