Thanksgiving...

As always, Mom and Dad hosted a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! And as always, I didn't take many pictures! But here is what I did get....

Kids Table

Beautiful Fall quilt made by Grams

Perfect table setting...of course....

One of our Thanksgiving crafts with the kiddos! 
I think they enjoyed eating it more than making it...




Our master turkey fryer-er

Um.....our terrifying turkey carver??? ;)

The girls put on a little Thanksgiving show after dinner...



With help from Grampa of course!

And Booboo and Grampa surprised the kids with a new playground in the backyard...
So cool!!! (And it matches the house! NOT surprising! :))


Happy Thanksgiving!

Kinder Thanksgiving Feast...

Kindergarten is so FUN!!! And its amazing to me, especially living in California, that we are still "allowed" to dress up like Indians! So grateful our school is still teaching the thanksgiving story and encouraging our kids to be thankful!

First, they sang us a couple of turkey songs...Abbi was a puritan woman for one of the songs and with her hands on her face would say in a high pitched voice, "Mercy Me!" It was pretty darn cute. But don't ask her to show you again. That's a no-go.





And then they feasted!





 I'm just not sure if I should believe her when she says Kindergarten isn't fun! ;)

Olivia's Fall Piano Recital...






She did amazing, not even one mistake! 
Way to go Olivia!

A little bit of random...

 Wearing big sisters shirt...

 If there is one of these around the girls will "demand" their picture be taken...

 And Daddy's too

Duck park....these ducks will eat out of your hand. 

Elizabeth prefers to push the girls around instead of ride...

 Happiness...

Loves her some glasses!

...And she found my smoothie. Cute... but sad cause I really wanted my smoothie! ;)



Abbi caught this face after she took my phone from Elizabeth...don't mess with this girl and her phones! Sadness!

She doesn't often do this but isn't she sweet when she sleeps!?

Pinterest craft...fall pumpkins made from dryer vent tubing. 


 My funny girl...

And last month DuVall took Olivia to the Air Show in San Diego....Just Livi and the boys!




October...ness

Pumpkin Patch...
Always a fun night with the kids....thinking we'll try something a little more authentic next year???






What Mom? What!?
(Sad but true, I have no idea how Elizabeth got those scratches!)

Trunk R Treating AND Trick R Treating...


 This flower costume has served us well through all three girls! And its still in great shape!




Spider girl and a gypsy....I had no say in costumes this year with the big girls but aren't they still so cute!? 



I love October, almost as much as the kiddos! But it came and went so fast this year. Thats seems to be the case with life right now. Be careful not to blink!
