Back to Missouri for Thanksgiving

Out trip to Missouri was exhausting and we did not get to see all everyone we wanted to, so for those of you we did not see...we are sorry!! The flight out was pretty good, both slept and were well behaved...the way back, well thats the opposite story.

Our little mans surgery was a success...he did well...some problems with pain control initally but once that was resolved smooth sailing!!!

Need More Candy!!

This is the first year Serena went out and Trick or Treated. She was so funny!! She did really well most of the time saying Trick or Treat, then she would say Thank You So Much after getting her candy. When walking away from the house she would tell us she needed to go to another house to get more candy. Towards the end, someone opened the door and we asked her , What do you say?? She shouted at the person, "Need More Candy!!!" It was soo cute, it made the guy at the door laugh, he said well for your honesty, you get 2 pieces of candy. Preparing during the day. Since she can't carve a pumpkin I had her paint gords, she did a beautiful job.

Until she decided to paint her lips!!!!

Nana brought her doughnuts instead of candy for Halloween....Serena was in heaven!!

Getting ready to go. The cane is for Pop-pops, Serena just likes to play with it. Sean was still getting dressed at this time..he was is a black cape with skeleton hands and the Scream mask...totally scared Serena...I made him take it off!! But the neighbors did get pictures, so I will post them when I get them.

FUn in the tub!

I made these healthy treats for a Halloween Party we attended.

More healthy treats I made for the Halloween Party....its a watermelon.
