Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Since Josh, the boys and I were all off the day after Thanksgiving, we decided to take a family trip up to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.  I think the boys really enjoyed all the animal...especially feeding the giraffes!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jard, Aunt Jay, Mason & Gavin came to our house for Thanksgiving lunch.  Then we went to Grammy and Grandpa's for dinner and dessert.  The boys stayed the night there so Josh and I could get some shopping started with the rest of the "crazies"!  We are so thankful for all our family!

"Mama. Look what Jack did!"

These are the words that came from my oldest, Joe.  This is what Jack "did"!

That's what happens when you give a 3 year old dry erase markers and some free, unsupervised play :-)

Jack's Thanksgiving Feast

Today was Jack's Thanksgiving Feast at Preschool.  He helped make franks and beans and pumpkin bread.  We all got to go celebrate!

We are thankful for our family!

We are thankful for our Grandparents!

We are thankful to be together!

We are thankful for you, Jack!

Halloween 2012

Happy Halloween!  We couldn't have asked for better weather for Trick or Treating!  We started out the holiday carving pumpkins, got together with cousins to show off our costumes and then went trick or treating with friends, Caroline and Parker.

First the boys planned out their designs for pumpkin faces.

Cute, eh?

Let the carving begin!
