Thanksgiving Recap

Late "Happy Thanksgiving" greetings to all. I can't believe I haven't posted since Halloween.

We went up north a bit to hang with Ry-daddy's side of the family for thanksgiving. A fun time was had by all. We were able to spend time with family members we haven't seen in a in a long time and catch up. It was very nice. We even got to meet the newest member of the family. My new niece. Isn't she absolutely beautiful! I made sure to sneak as many kisses and snuggles as I could.

Sarah and Howie all the way from Australia (the two in the middle) and Forest, Katrina (and kids-not pictured) all the way from northern California.

Here is the whole crew.

The kiddos

We also went on a hike along the Aqua Fria, which is currently bone dry. It was still nice getting some fresh air, even if it was windy and a bit chilly.

Super-E made a new friend in his second cousin. They were practically inseparable. Even though he talked non-stop about Star Wars, she found him hilariously funny and interesting. Or maybe it was his constant motion that she found intriguing. The fact that she stuck around to listen made them a perfect pair for the weekend.

Halloween 2007

Jedi Ethlo Lotuc and Super I

The force is strong with this one!

Super strong, super fast and super fierce!

Trick or treating

Check out all that loot!!

Here are some highlights of the night:
1. Eating this made for some interesting conversation at the dinner table: "If I eat both of the eyeballs then my noodles won't be able to see very well." Nice try buddy.
2. Super-I would scream "trick or treat!!" before we were anywhere near the door. Then he would say "thank you" before getting any candy.
3. Amazingly, Jedi-E hit only one man in the head with his lightsaber. It was bound to happen, right?
4. Jedi-E hummed the tune to Star Wars the WHOLE time we were trick-or-treating.
5. He also had three duals while we were out. Two with another jedi and one with Darth Vader.
6. Super I can run faster with a cape and super boots. Especially on an empty road. Believe me, we had to chase him!

Now, I have to promise (so that everyone can see) that we will get a pumpkin next year to carve, no matter what!! We had a little bit of a break down today because of the absence of said pumpkin. It's really not my fault. The stupid thing rotted right on the counter and we had to throw it away!! So, next year!!! I promise!!!
