Fun in the Cold & Snow

It certainly was a fun day, and it certainly was a cold and snowy one. But we were prepared. The new space heater was perfect (once we got it working), and it really did provide noticeable heat. Too bad i couldnt take it to the seat with me.... Anyway, since it was the weekend before Thanksgiving it seemed onyly logical that we would have a Thanksgiving feast. We deep fried a turkey, and had all of the fixings - stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, cranberries, pumpkin pie, etc.

And the we expressed thanks for the PSU football team, which feasted on Michigan State.

Mmmm....

Halloween

We went with a kids' story theme for Halloween this year, with Little Bo Peep and Little Red Riding Hood. Sofia really got the concept of trick or treating this year, as compared with last year, and Annabella just enjoyed being able to carry a basket around (she loves to carry bags and baskets).

Vacation 2008

It now has been more than a month since we returned from vacation, but I finally made some time to go through the pictures. We had a great time in the Outer Banks, NC. Going in late September meant that the beaches were pretty empty, so the girls had plenty of space to run around and have fun.

Enjoy this sampling of pictures.
