Thanksgiving Fun

We spent thanksgiving at our house with Devan's aunt Elinor's family and the rest of our "substitute" family which includes our ward friends that also don't have family in the area. We ended up with over 30 people. What a blast!!! It was crazy so I didn't get pics of the event but here are some before and after.

Drostan rolling out dough for his great-grandma's monkey bread. 

One of the great things with such a big group was we only had to make a few things. We fried a turkey and roasted a turkey breast and of course made green bean casserole and monkey bread. We had oodles of delicious food.

The kids played all day and were exhausted at the end. Drostan and Spencer love to do things together. At bedtime we found them both curled in balls, sharing Drostan's toddler bed.

Not thanksgiving related, but after living in our house 11/2 years I finally got my chalkboard wall comleted. Yeah!!!

Pumpkin Carving

It's very late to be posting these, but I thought they were fun and they let you see some of the fun we've been having. For Halloween this year, we hosted a pumpkin carving party. We had lots of people and lots of fun.

My monsters getting ready for the party.

Drostan showing his claws and roaring. Scary!!!

We did several crafts for the kids. Here they are making playdough ghosts. We also made bat pumpkins and played a mummy game and eyeball race.

We even had a hay ride (yes there is even straw in there) for those who wanted to brave the cold.

We even carved some pumpins at our "pumpkin carving" party.
