Turkey Day and Putting up the Tree!!

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to everyone! We had a very busy Turkey Day! We went to Joe's parents' house for an early dinner and had some delicious food!!! After that we went to my parents' house for a second thanksgiving dinner (mmm...two dinners)!!! There were 26 people at mom and dad's house (and it was all family)!!! We played a crazy game of spoons, which Katie dominated (I did come a close second)! There was also rummicube being played in the basement! Never boring with the "Harmon" family!! We didn't leave until after 10pm, so the girls were a little tired the next day!!!

Friday (the day after thanksgiving) we always put up our tree and decorations. We bought a new pre-lit tree this year, which is VERY nice!!! Now Loren is getting really excited for christmas!! It'll be a fun year with her, she is really into giving and receiving presents (especially receiving) and she understands Santa now!! It'll be a fun Christmas morning!!!!

Here are some pictures:

Halloween

This year for Halloween we carved our pumpkins on Monday Oct. 29th (because Daddy had class on Tuesday and Wednesday). Loren liked to cut the pumpkin but wanted nothing to do with scooping the insides out! She said it was "icky"! Then Loren had her preschool party on the 30th and everyone got to dress up and they had a special snack!! Then on Halloween the girls and I went trick-or-treating with Joy and Addy and Ellie, Chan, Dave and baby Carter. It was lots of fun and Loren got a TON of candy! Then we had a yummy dinner of cheesy hot dogs and hamburgers with our neighbors! What a fun few days we had!

Here are some pictures:
