Thanksgiving

Holy com, I am way, way, way behind on my posts. So… I’m just gonna dump a few pictures from the last few months in here for now and write up some quick descriptions.

We had a nice Thanksgiving, just the four of us at home alone. It felt so relaxed and easy. I gotta say I liked it actually. With how busy life gets, I enjoyed the simplicity of it.

I loved the food we had – perfect Thanksgiving meal in my mind! YUM!

Lauren and I played a little Scrabble… Ashley decided to dance.

She will NOT be happy that I posted this!!

Musical Family

I have been meaning to post some picture of the girls with their instruments. This year Ashley started playing alto sax in the school band and Lauren has started taking guitar lessons. Both girls are playing well and they are both also enjoying their instruments!! :)

We are so proud of all their hard work!

Trick or Treat

For Halloween this year Ashley went as Tinkerbell and Lauren went as a Candy Corn Witch. We mostly made them from stuff we had at home. Got some good use out of an old dance costume for Ashley’s outfit and for Lauren we we’re lucky enough to have all the right colors of shirts on hand to layer and make the candy corn colors. We just needed a set of wings, a hat and some candy corn colored felt.

Earlier in the day the girls enjoyed carving pumpkins with long-time friend, Taylor who spent the night after the party the night before.

Halloween 2009 was a lot of fun.

Crazy for candy!

Morning after madness!
