Happy Thanksgiving!

I have to say, I love Thanksgiving. Getting together with family to enjoy a delicious (and usually huge) meal would make anyone feel thankful. Since our family is so large, we were, lucky enough to have three, yes three, Thanksgiving dinners to attend.

On Wednesday, we went to my dad and step-mom's house for dinner, pumpkin pie and, of course, some episodes of X-files. Livi ate 3 rolls, green beans, ham, a pickle, some red onions, and a most of a whole slice of pumpkin pie. That's my girl! Embracing the Thanksgiving spirit of eating 'til your stomach hurts.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love to get all dressed up and enjoy the Halloween atmosphere.

Livi was still too little to trick or treat this year, but no one is too young (or old, for that matter) to dress up in a festive costume! We got Alivia the cutest little duckling costume, complete with little ducky feet and a hat with a duck bill. Surprisingly, she loved wearing it! Even the hat! Normally, she will try anything to get a hat off her head.

We were invited to a Halloween party at Kirk and Cami's place, and since our sitter got sick (feel better, Kate!), Livi got to come along, too. I dressed up as a cowgirl and Ben went as "Johnny Ringo" from 'Tombstone.'
