Our Ohio Thanksgiving!

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with Linda's family. Her family lives about an hour East of Cleveland, so the drive for us wasn't bad at all. Only a two hour drive from our house. :) It was a fabulous holiday - a good time was had by all! Breakfast down at Grandma D's.

More Fall Pictures!

Catching up!

Back in November Megan and Sarah came out to stay a weekend with us. We had our Marine Corps Ball and needed a babysitter for the kids. Unfortunately, I didn't get many pics of us at the ball, plus they are on Megan's camera... still need to get those from you, Megan! :)

A very big THANK YOU, Megan and Sarah, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come out here! We love you guys!

Trick or Treat 2009

Getting ready for trick or treating!

Adam before putting on his costume.

Chris did Allie's makeup for me. Good job, hon! :-p Pretty kitty!

Allie posed like this all on her own! :) Silly kid!

This is my favorite one of the kids!

Chris even joined in the fun! My cute little family!

I thought both the kids looked super cute, but Adam was the one that got all the attention. All the neighbors loved our little chicken!

Adam was ready to head home by this point. Allie and I did one more street and then joined the boys back at home.

The loot!

After eating too much candy the kids ran around the house like crazy people.

Adam didn't like wearing the wig!

Finally, a smile! :)
The wig was my Grandmom's - she wore it every Halloween on her school bus. She as a bus driver and loved dressing up for all the holidays! I know she would have loved seeing my kids in her wig! :)

Last Soccer Game of the Season!

Allie's last soccer game was Saturday. It rained all that morning so the field was super muddy. There was lots of slippin' and slidin' going on. And very muddy kids by the end of the game! "Get that ball, Allie!"

Half time!
VERY MUDDY cleats.

"Go Allie!"

Game over, high fives for everyone!

Allie's first trophy!
