Happy Thanksgiving 2008

This is the first year since 2005 that we have not hosted Thanksgiving at our house. It was also the first year I have not worked on the night before Thanksgiving!! So, I am thankful for many things....

I am thankful for:

My wonderful loving family.

My beautiful, healthy girls.

My wonderful stepchildren.

My great husband.

My Dog, Sadie.

My beautiful home.

My job.

My health.

Lower gas prices!!!

Transportation so I can easily visit my family.

Internet so I can keep in touch.

Cartoons to keep the girls entertained so I can blog!

In general I am thankful for everything in my life!!

HALLOWEEN 2008

We had an awesome time on Halloween. We started trick or treating at 1230.... Yes this made for a very long day!!! Suprisingly the girls were excellent. Our first stop was at Mike's work, then we were off to Grandma Kathy's. I think by now the girls had already had enough candy..... Can we say sugar high!!! Alexis thought she needed to eat every piece she got along with the wrappers!!

We then went home and picked up Mike and headed to SLC to go trick or treating with my sister at the mall. The girls loved being able to parade around in their butterfly costumes and say "trick or treat". We ate dinner at the mall and then head to do some neighborhood trick or treating. Alexis did not want to stop!! She was a pro by the end of the night. Hali started singing this little tune, "Trick or treat smell my feet give me something good to eat. If you don't I don't care we'll just to the next house!" I am no sure if that was cute or not!! We went home exhausted, but the good news is..... Hali is already talking about "next" halloween!!

HAVING A SISTER MEANS HAVING A BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE!

Hali and Alexis are the best of friends and the best of enemies!!! They are typical sisters who love to play together , but also love to fight over toys. Alexis' favorite word at the moment is "mine". I hope that they will outgrow this and someday be best as good as friends ad me and my sister are!! I have posted several random pictures of the two of them together over the last year to catch up! Hali is now almost 5 and alexis is 20 months.
