So Much to Be Thankful For

We were so happy to welcome Tanner McKade Nix to our family on November 13, 2009. He joined Matt, Jessica, Chloe, and Landon. Matt and Jessica got to bring him home from the hospital on Monday, November 16. He received a warm welcome from his excited sister, brother, and grandparents.

On November 20 we drove to Castle Rock to visit the Goodman Family. It was so fun to see all of them. I went to see the movie "New Moon" with the girls on Saturday and we also took all of the kids shopping for Christmas presents. They all promised to forget their choices so they will be surprised on Christmas morning. We went to church with them on Sunday after a visit to Michelle's grave and enjoyed good food, family home evening, and games on Sunday evening. We drove home on Monday. I love my grandkids!!

I helped Lindsey make this cute skirt for her YW personal progress award. We cut it out on Friday evening and sewed on it all day Saturday in between movies and shopping. We learned a lot and had fun together and had some great help and support from Emily.

Family Halloween Party

Last Sunday, November 1, we gathered for a post Halloween Party so the cousins could share their costumes and have fun together. We started with taco soup and pumpkin mousse for dinner and then played games. We played Halloween Bingo.

We also played pin the eyes on the ghost and a game of pass the hot pumpkin. Here you see Addy passing the pumpkin to Landon.

Here we are in our costumes. Easton had the cutest little monkey costume complete with banana but he was done wearing it by Sunday. I am a happy little Christmas elf in case you are wondering.

Here is a group shot of all the happy party animals.

Let's see if I can do this

Dan remembered the train birthday cake I made for him when he was little and asked me to make one for Easton's birthday. This is how it turned out.

We have faster Internet
