Thanksgiving

Our First Thanksgiving at home was perfect. Riley & I cooked like we've never cooked before (That's very true for Riley). He was such a good sport and didn't even try to sit down to watch football. We had so much fun doing it.
I wanted to make it special for the kiddos so I bought some crafts for them to do. Damien and Riley put together a model airplane that actually flies, and I helped Amaya paint a door hanger.
We didn't eat until almost five, and had quite the feast. The kids sat at the table and picked at their food for about 5 minutes and then were off to play outside. It was definitely too much food for our little family, so we are really hoping for some company next year...anyone?



I had to put a picture of our apple pie that I am so proud of. It was the best apple pie that I have ever tasted. I am craving it as I write.

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween day and were really looking forward to a night of Trick or Treating. It turned out to be kind of a bummer night. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of Halloween spirit this year. Most of the houses were dark and no one was home. I guess people had better things to do on a Saturday night. At least my kids looked so cute in their costumes!
