Happy Thanksgiving!

After church this morning I quickly changed clothes, loaded my pies into the car, and headed for Teresa's where we spent a delightful afternoon playing games (Skip-Bo and Apples to Apples) before eating our Annual Turkey Feast! Trey and Coco made the centerpieces pictured here (a bit over-exposed) - Trey the black cat, Coco the pink. Such talent!

A Visit to the Aquarium with Alex

I took Alex to the Aquarium... The fish got little attention, the birds a bit more, the play equipment a bit more than that - but the hit of the day was lunch, where she consumed huge quantities of pizza and orange slices! We had great good fun, with or without the fish!

Hawaii II

Can't resist a few more photos!

Hawaii!

We've just returned from a week in Hawaii - combining a visit with Andy and Aubrey and the girls with a relaxing vacation in "paradise"...

More Halloween

Aubrey just sent me this picture of Emma and Riley, with their Hawaii cousin Maya, all dressed up for Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

The excitement kept building! Both kids had learned the ditty "Trick or Treat/Smell my feet/Give me something/Good to eat!" and couldn't wait to go door to door with their treat bags! (Alex, however, was less excited about WEARING a costume: she'd rather HOLD Elmo than BE Elmo!) I think, however, that Jack ultimately had as much fun (or more!) passing out the treats at his own door than he did getting them! And Alex (obviously!) REALLY enjoyed eating them! (She kept handing us candy and saying, "Open it, please!" long after we had said, "Enough!")
