Christmas lights

Once again, Christmas is here! Yippie. I just love Christmas. With the wonderful assistance of my sister Charleen, we were able to put up the lights before Jason got home. I don't mind getting on the roof as much as Charleen or Jason does. So here are the new pictures of this years design. Next year, I'm going to get all new LED lights...

Janner, Suter, Osburn, Henson & Giles Thanksgiving

We were wonderfully invited to *Cousins CM & Judy's house for this years Thanksgiving get together. We were greeted by the bleats of goats and a sheep. Their next door neighbor has what Judy refers to as a "Ranchette". All kinds of animals running around Zachary was very excited to see them. We arrived right on time to start pigging out and we did. We had a great time. Enjoy!

*Technically they are our cousins so excuse my dementia, but we call them family and either way it just plain out doesn't matter...right?!

Getting around to it....

I have been meaning to post these pictures for ever and I just haven't gotten around to it. I put the swing back up upon Zachary's request. Of course I didn't take into mind that it leaves it more open to smacking his brother as he is crawling around. Not sure how long it will actually stay...

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG

I just love Michael Buble. Here is his new video...

Halloween activities

For Halloween this year Zachary chose his costume from the beginning. He wanted to be a ghost. So I ran with it and made him a ghost outfit out of a white sheet and some black fleece. I just knew he wouldn't want to wear it for long and I was right. I was able to get 1 picture out of him and a little "Oooaaahhhh" (his ghost noise). Then when he actually went trick or treating, it didn't work so well with his running walk style. He totally biffed it a few times and then decided that was it. For Lucas, I decided to make him a little handsome devil. Which was funny to me as he is really a great baby. I made a little fleece hat with devil horns, sewed on a pitch fork and ofcourse a little devil's tail. They both were so dang cute! I also decided to make a smaller trick or treat bag. If you have kids, you know the bags/buckets are getting huge. There is definitely no need for a bag/bucket that big. So as far as Zachary knew he got a lot of candy! Well we did have a really full day as my family decided to go to Renessaince Festival Halloween day before trick or treating. As usual it was full of crazy costumes and great entertainment. It was a lot of fun. Here are the pictures...
