thanksgiving weekend

Well, to start off... Harry thought Christmas came early this year. That's why he brought a present for me and Dan into the house. A little mini gator! This lizard was huge, and it scared the crap out of me (Christine can attest to that... she heard me scream while I was on the phone with her!). GROSS!

Pre-Thanksgiving at Cameron & Jenny's house

This is baby Levi, who grows up so much every time I see him! I love babies!
We almost got the whole William's fam in this picture...
... and here's Luke. What a cutie!
Dapper Dan, my favorite person EVER!
Our first house guest was Dan's little brother, Ben. He recently got back from his mission in Uruguay. It was fun having him stay with us... and it was cute to watch Dan be 'big brother'. Too much video game playing for my taste, but I had time to blog!
We inherited my Dad's dinner table for a while that seats like 12! We call it our 'feasting table'... it's so rustic and HUGE. We've decided that next year, if we're in town, we are going to have Thanksgiving where we will have a huge feast. Complete with no utensils, renaissance music, lots of velvet... perhaps a jester? Goblets, and raucous laughter... maybe some ale or mead? Haha! How about some wassail?!?
I made us some bananas foster... mmmmMM!
I got this game that is actually pretty fun to play. It's called Hi-Bol... and it's a lot like ski ball. I'm not very good at it, but I will practice when Dan is at work. Haha!
Connie and the kids came over, and of course we had to play hi-bol with them!
Abbey got a 50 all by herself! This is her posing by the board. I'm not sure what she is doing with her hand! Some kind of claw, apparently: ) I love my princess Ab.

We went shopping at San Tan mall the day after Thanksgiving (Dan's bro had never seen an outdoor mall!) They had a snow machine...oooh!
It's snow! Not really, it was bubble foam: )

We didn't actually take pictures on Thanksgiving day... we were having so much fun, we forgot to! Dad and Mickey came over and ate with us on our feasting table... and then we went to see 'Old Dogs', and I laughed pretty hard in some parts.
Right now I'm downloading a TON of Christmas music... I hope I don't get noticed by the government and get arrested for downloading 'free' music! I'm so excited to decorate and get a tree!! We watched Elf tonight to start the holiday spirit: )

CHRISTMAS!!!

Halloween!

I only have one picture of Halloween on my computer: ( I've been a 'blooser' lately... and I take full responsibility. The problem is that my camera broke, and Dan lost his USB cord, so I can't get any pictures from his camera either! It's very frustrating... you all know how much I love to blog! I still have ton's of pictures to post... from our trip to Utah for Dan's friend's wedding and his little bro coming home from his mission. I also have a ton of pictures that were taken on Christine and Connie's camera... I want those! Buuuut, unfortunately this will have to do for now!
Oh, I do have one picture from our Utah trip! This was taken at Bridal Veil Falls... a very beautiful natural waterfall that isn't actually in the picture: )
