Turkey Day 2012

David, Me, Bill & Paige, and Uncle Gordon (who surprised us and joined us for a quick beer!)

Ginnie and Torben. Caught ya!! =)

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Neel Family. They DROVE here from San Antonio, TX to spend the holiday with us. Of course, Ginnie and Torben flew in from Seattle like every year. I love our little adopted family Thanksgivings. We had a wonderful day and the weather was beautiful even if it was a little warm! We got very few pictures but fun was had! It was a sad day when the Neels had to return home so we quickly started getting the house ready for Christmas and decorated our tree so we didn't think about the quiet in the house.

Halloween 2012

We didn't get many good pics last night. It's almost impossible to get Paige to even look at the camera! We had our pumpkin carving party with the family last weekend (sadly all pics were lost on Tom's camera). We had a great time eating white chili and carving some cool pumpkins. We made a spider and Minnie Mouse (who looked more like Daisy by Halloween night. AZ temps of 88 make it hard for a pumpkin). The girls had a great night trick or treating. Our new neighborhood was full of action and lots of kids walking around. It was nice to meet neighbors and find out lots of kids go to school where Claire goes. Claire took a bad fall during our outing and it pretty much ended our trick or treating but it was fun while it lasted! Claire was Minnie and Paige wore Claire's old lady bug costume. Paige is 20 months now and Claire wore hers right after she turned 2.
