Happy Thanksgiving

We are snow bound in the Tri-Cities this year. Keeping Oliver entertained for 4 days is going to be a challenge in this weather! We didn't eat turkey on Thanksgiving, but instead made our own version of the traditional bird.

Instead of shopping with the masses today we went sledding with the masses. There are only a few hills in this area to sled on when there is snow - every one who wasn't shopping was there today. We went with Oliver's friend Owen and his family. The boys had a ball!

Oliver was an angel for a brief moment today.

Halloween

Oliver went trick or treating with his friend Owen this year. They had a great time together. After they knocked on the door, they would say to each other "knock knock, who's there?" and then laugh hysterically. Only once did Owen fall over in his Lightening McQueen car outfit and not be able to get back up. Then it was my turn to laugh hysterically.

Local guitar shop. I was impressed with their attention to detail.

I loved this house. They guy is real! And it reminded me of my uncle Kent, who dresses up a fake man outside of their house for a month prior to Halloween. Then on Halloween night he puts the same clothes on, sits in the same chair and scares the crap out of little kids. So bad, its good. This guy didn't faze Oliver one bit.
