Halloween and Thanksgiving 2010

Halloween-Samantha's costume was an 1980's aerobics outfit and Emily and Megan were "Super Heroes" done up the way a 13 year old girl would.  



Do you think there is enough sugar for the kids this year?  

Grandma Jean always willing to come and support the kids!

Trick or Treating was fun this year and the neighborhood went nuts with decorations!

We wouldn't let Joe and Jackson go with us without putting on some kind of costume, so they borrowed a couple of my Halloween headbands!
                                              


This house was ALIVE!! Notice the windows upstairs are eyeballs!

A beautiful night-no coats needed!

Now,  a truckload of photos from our 2nd annual Wichita Thanksgiving at Derek and Kris' home.  Kris, me and Robbin.

The inseparable cousins, Grace and Sam.  We noticed this trip that they have the same teeth which is why I took this photo.


Derek digging into the appetizers and making a pickle sandwich

Prepping in the kitchen!!




Eduardo's girls waiting patiently for the grub

Joe and Emily still wanted to sit at the kid table this year.

Uncle Tom on the couch ( lives in Wichita now) was there!


We went to Prairie Pines Tree Farm to cut down a tree for Derek and Kris.  What a lovely afternoon that was. First the tractor pulled us to the tree lot!



Emily spent a good portion of her time picking off the thistles on her clothes.

We found their tree!  Time to cut it down!

We ran a race on Saturday, which turned out to be an obstacle course thru farm land!  Great fun!
