Happy Halloween!

My friend Nikki the past couple years has hosted a pumpkin carving party, but since we moved we missed out on the annual fun, so we decided to still hold our own pumpkin carving party. We drank root beer, watched Hocus Pocus and carved our pumpkins. They turned out pretty good! We figured since we wont be going to any Halloween parties or dressing up, this would be our Halloween fun.

David was concentrating to make it perfect.

I made my own pattern to try to make a scary looking jack-o-lantern, mine never look as cool as David's - but I don't think I'd have the patience to do all the small details.

I love his hugs & kisses, but I REALLY love when he does those dishes!

My husband is so amazing! After I cook dinner he does the dishes - this is mostly an every night routine that goes on in our home. He even has fun with it, seeing how high he can pile the drying pile. I love him so much!!! :)

Canadian Thanksgiving!

We celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving with David's side of the family this year. This isn't an annual celebration, but since my sister-in-law is having her baby right around Thanksgiving, she didn't want to miss out on the meal, so we celebrated it early. David and I are excited because this year we will get 2 Thanksgiving meals. We had a lot of fun visiting and playing with the kids. We had an American Idol contest on the Wii, Lexi won first with me coming in second place...and we all got to rock out on Rock Band. Me and David learned an important lesson, you can't leave ANYTHING in reach when there are little kids around...and that our little nieces LOVE make-up. :)

All the food was amazing!

My mother & sister-in-law made trifle. It was soooo good! I was sad that I didn't get anymore than a scoop full, but now I know how to make it :)

All the kids were excited for dessert. There is my pumpkin cheesecake - it was delicious!

Jenna took us to this really yummy ice cream place called Pink Berry. Its fresh frozen yogurt and all the toppings are fresh cut fruit. It was REALLY good! I am sad that there isn't one out here in Fresno.
