Halloween and Thanksgiving

I'm a little behind in my blog, so here's a little catch-up. For Halloween the kids were able to go to two different ward parties. They had fun dressing up as Spiderman (Teagan), a Farmer (Quin), and a Bumblebee (Taryn). Unfortunately, I don't think we got any pictures of them. We also drove to Palm Desert for Halloween. The kids went to another Trunk-or-Treat with our friends Jake and Shamina. Jake was blessing their new baby Conner on Sunday, so it was nice to be able to go visit them for the weekend.

Taryn was a bumblebee.

For Thanksgiving, the kids were able to see their Uncle Corey and Aunt Mary Ann for a few hours before we left town. We went to Sacramento for the long weekend. We weren't able to leave until 6 p.m., but it actually worked out better because the kids slept most of the way. We had two Thanksgiving dinners, one with each side of Drew's family. The kids had fun hanging out at grandma and grandpa's house. On the way home, we stopped at my Uncle Jon's house. We had dinner with them, and then the kids played for a few hours with their "cousins". This also provided a sleepy ride home for the kids. It was a great weekend, but it went very fast.
