Happy Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we had Ben's dad over, so it was just the 5 of us. I made everything myself, and it was pretty good (if I may say). We had homemade rolls and honey butter, corn, stuffing, 7-layer salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, and of course, turkey. Everyone ate like little pigs. For dessert we had chocolate cream pie and a pumpkin cheesecake thing. By the time we were done, and everything was cleaned up I was SO tired. I laid down to watch a movie with Blake and fell asleep by 7 and slept until 9:30 the next morning! It was nice.

While we were eating, everyone wrote a few things that they were thankful for on a leaf, and Blake taped them up on the wall. Family, health, house, food, jobs, and girls were a few. It was fun and turned out kinda cute, I think.

Blake made the other decorations, a turkey and an Indian. Cute!

Nice Tip, Thanks A Lot!

I was running late one night and Griff told me on the phone not to worry about dinner, he had it under control. So, I was like, cool! what did you make? He said he ordered pizza and paid for it with the money he won off a bet on a Broncos game. I had no idea he had funds coming in from a gambling habit. That is something we will have to work on putting a stop to. But first things first.
When I got home I told him I didn't really want him ordering pizza and having it delivered when Ben and I weren't home. I don't like them opening the door to strangers for obvious reasons, weather they have pizza or not. I asked him how much it was and he told me and then he said, "And I even gave her a tip." How much? I asked. "Well, my change was going to be $7.34 and I told her just to give me the bills back and she could keep the change."

All Hallows Eve

We had such a fun Halloween! Blake was Snake Eyes from GI Joe and Griff was Master Chief from Halo! They loved their costumes. I think they turned out pretty flippin sweet!

Me and my nephew Caleb, and all 3 kiddos.

We trick-or-treated our neighborhood, then we went up and did around the kids old babysitters house. After that we stopped by a few friends houses and then went to Ben's dad's house and had some dinner.

Pumpkin Party!

The Anderson family had another Pumpkin Carving Party! This year we had it at my house. For dinner we had turkey, rolls, salad, veggies, chips, and spooky desserts. It was a good time! Ben and I ended up finishing the boys' pumpkins. They can't seem to see it through to the end yet. I thought I had a great idea and just carved a little one. It turned out pretty cute. We also watched Transformers 2 and The Adventure of Ichabod Crane.

Blake's is the monster, Griff's is the flame face, Angela's is the little skeleton, Brittni's is the pumpkin face, Casey's is the heart, and Ashley's is the Grim Reaper.

SPOOKY!
