A couple of weekends ago, we had two special events. First, on Saturday the 7th, Ayden was baptized. It was very nice watching his dad baptize him and then watching his dad, uncles, grandpa, and great uncle confirm him and give him the Holy Ghost. We are proud of Ayden for his decision. 
On Sunday, the 8th, Alice was blessed during Sacrament meeting. She was a good girl and stayed happy. Grandma bought her this beautiful blessing dress, and her great-aunt made the headwrap with the flower. She was darling!
We had lots of fun having so much family all gathered together. It was great. The rest of November sure has been flying by, Thanksgiving will be here shortly, and then Christmas will be upon us. Santa's workshop is already underway....

2004 - Eli as a leopard, or whatever it is. This costume has been recycled several times, keep scrolling.
2005 - Eli was a cow, but wouldn't wear the hat. Carissa and I were a "paradise" (pair-of-dice, get it?) Rylan is wearing the leopard costume.
2006 - Simon's first Halloween, he was 2 days old. We went as Care Bears, except for Ayden. And yes, I went trick-or-treating 2 days after having a baby; I was crazy, or at least still high on the endorphins from natural birthing or something!
2007 - I made us all into M&Ms.
2009 - Alice as the caterpillar, Simon the Cowboy, and Eli, knight in shining armor.
A note about Simon: He loves being a cowboy and especially his boots. He put them on Friday to go to our town's Main Street trick-or-treat, then slept in them, and pretty much hasn't taken them off since!
