Decorating the Tree

Yep, I 'm behind again.

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving. We celebrated with Karl's family and had a great week together. Jackie Wildgen, my dear friend and a grandma to the kids, had us over for dinner. Too bad I had to work that weekend! Maybe I will have Christmas posted by Easter!

Ho Ho Ho

I am so blessed to have Santa Claus living with me. He looks suspiciously like the Joseph from my Nativity set and sounds like Anthony. His sled is an upside down stool and his pack is a paper bag with handles. Still, he gave all the presents to me!

Shake Weight?

And He shall reign forever and ever.

Happy Halloween

Yes I am a bit late since Thanksgiving weekend is upon us. I don't know what I have done in the last 3 weeks. I have been laid up recovering from my ankle surgery, but that should have left plenty of time for blogging. But anyway, here are some pictures from our 3 day Halloween bonanza.

On Friday night we attended the Halloween carnival at St. Matthew's school. Saturday night found us at the Saadi haunted mansion. Our friends, the Saadi's, are nuts about Halloween. One example of their creativity and fun is the coffin coffee table you see in the collage. Sunday night was Halloween proper. I went to work and Karl took the kids to a party at the home of one of Brendan's classmates. They went trick or treating as a group. They had so much candy that when they weren't looking, Karl dumped most of it back into the bowl. They never noticed. Stay tuned for what we've been doing in November.
