I didn't actually take any pictures of Thanksgiving! I was too busy eating the great food! We did however take our Annual Hall Family Pictures! Thanks to Mel (who is pregnant and stood on stool for us) we got some great shots!
We had a great Thanksgiving! We love visiting with family and eating great food! Thanks to our wonderful families for making Thanksgiving great!
Love, hugs, and Turkey kisses,

I have seen a few blogs with "thankful thursdays" and i decided that since it was thanksgiving thursday this week, i would follow! here is my list of thankfuls!
~ My Heavenly Father and Jesus. I am so thankful for their never-ending love. I know that they know me and know my true heart! I know that they are aware of me and my personal situations. I know that if I work hard I will always be forgiven. I am thankful for this blessing!
~My Husband! I am so thankful for a wonderful loving man who loves me! He is the best husband ever! He is the best Daddy ever. I know it isn't always easy to be married to me but he does it and he does it great!
~My kids! I love each of them so much! I am so thankful for the love that they continually give me even when I am a "grumpy" mommy! Their loves hugs and kisses make everything all better. I love that they try so hard and that they let me try hard too! We are learning together and its priceless!
~For my Mom! She is an amazing hard working loving mommy! She has worked hard her whole life and I am thankful that she works hard for me! She is incredible and I adore and admire her!
~For other family! Where would I be without my family! We have great memories and fun times! We share, care, fight and argue! I love the saying "Family is a lot like fudge, mostly sweet with a few nuts!"
~For modern technology! I love being able to connect with people all over the nation at any time I want! It is great that I can keep track of long lost friends and family with the touch of a few buttons! I am addicted to cell phones, blogging, and facebook! I am thankful for it! It keeps us close!
~For medicine! I need it, I appreciate it, I am thankful for it!
~It would take me all year to mention all the things I am thankful for. I am truly blessed and I hope that even if its Monday and in April that I can be thankful for what I have.
Loves, hugs and thankful kisses,
Emily
This year the kids got to celebrate Halloween twice. They got to dress up for school on Friday and our neighborhood had their Trunk or Treat on Friday.
This is the kids on Friday afternoon decorating their buckets! I bought purple buckets with witches on them for each of the kids. I thought they needed more so the kids added foam letters to make their names and pumpkins with leaves!
So on Friday night we headed to the school and the kids Trunk or Treated! It was fun. We were a little worried that it might snow but luckily it was just chilly. We had fun seeing all our church friends!
Britt had her first "official" babysitting job this week! Our next door neighbor asked a few weeks ago if Britt babysitts yet. I told her that Britt babysitts the boys all the time and has helped take care of her cousins. I told her that Britt is great and if I was home I would let her babysitt. So the neighbor called and asked Britt to babysitt this week. Britt got to babysitt a 5 year old boy and a 2 year old girl for an hour! She was so excited! Before she went we found her some Halloween books to read to the kids, some Halloween coloring pages, and a little snack!
loves, hugs, and FOAM kisses!
