Making Memories...My goal this Christmas is to make lasting memories, not the usual "eat dinnner, open presents, go home" memories. Memories that will stick. And here is the start of our holiday season. Ice skating and window shopping with our family, the Wilsons and the Allens. Stay tuned for more memories as they happen!

Joe looks like Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer, wearing a miner's hard hat. "Gold and Silver, Silver and Gold! Whaaahooo!" He is behind Tanner and Christopher in the black coat.

Baby Levi is "hanging out" with Joci and Grandma Melanie. He reminded me of an Ewok-round and furry with little teddy bear ears on his head-precious.

Me, Emily and Edward.....Oh, and Bella.

This is the newest addition to our family. He is my great nephew, Levi. Yes, I am now "Great" Aunt Lisa. Yikes. My niece Jocelyn and her husband Tyson welcomed this beautiful baby boy to the world in October. I wuv him.

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR SOME SPOOKY HALLOWEEN PHOTOS!!!!! This is Brad with Emily's wig after too many Whoppers and Kit Kats.

Carving Pumpkins. I love the way the girls are looking at Joe like he is nuts. This is a regular occurance around our house.

"Trunk-or-Treat" at church...Joe, Chipper, and Mateo is the banana.

One house we stoppped at had ponies in the front yard. Weird. Along with that there was a house that had a haunted house for the kids to go thru and "Pumpkin Shots" for the grown ups. Luckily, I remembered what a shot was and stoppped Brad before he drank one. Ha Ha. Oh yeah, there was also a home owner that answered the door with candy for the trick-or-treaters and 3 snakes wrapped around his neck and arms. It was a night full of tricks and treats!

ALL HALLOW'S EVE!! Here we are dressed and ready to trick-or-treat with Christopher (Ninja) and one of Emily's friends, Bekah(Bee). Emily is a hippie, Joe is a retro basketball player, I am a zombie bride and Samantha is a zombie soccer player. Pretty scarey bunch, huh?
