Fun Thanksgiving with Hatfield's

It was so fun hanging with Hatfield family Thanksgiving day.  There have been many thanksgivings that we have been on our own without extended family.  Holidays are much better surrounded by cousins and family.  It was a great day.  And thanks to Jodie's back drop, we were entertained all afternoon thinking we were cowgirls!

Thanksgiving Catch Up!

We went to Colette's for Thanksgiving Dinner.  It was really fun.  Julie and Greg came from CA with little Eloise.  Thanks to Marjorie's sweet potatoe recipe, Grandma Eloise was happy!  We counted at least three times she heaped a huge plate full of it.  Soon everyone caught on to what she was eating and it disappeared fast.  Thanks Marj for the recipe!  Its on the oranges ad biscuits blog.  I highly recommend it.  Sam, Colette, and Travis ran the Turkey Trott.  It was GREAT having Samantha home for a week.

Funny Max!

     We were going on our traditional Sunday Family bike ride and Max just started talking about Halloween.  He said, "Mom, I don't really like halloween, its just really scarey."  I told him in a couple years he will be older and won't think it is scarey.  "But, Mom, everyone dresses up in scarey costumes and it scares me."  Trying to think of a way to help him overcome his fears, I told him I would find a scarey costume he could wear and it would be fun.  Max always thinks things through too much and never lets me get away with anything.  He says, "but that won't work cuz I'll just look in the mirror and scare myself!"
