October 2009

Ben and I celebrated our 12th anniversary in October. We have a tradition started on our first anniversary to eat out at an Italian restaurant. But this year it fell on a Sunday so Ben cooked up an amazing meal for us.

Ben's friend Daniel and his brother, T. Jay came to Vegas and they all went to a U2 concert.

HALLOWEEN 2009

Nathaniel was a dragon tamer. Yes..."tamer" not "slayer". That's a baby dragon on his shoulder.

Annika and Elora were both sweet fairies.

Liesel and her second cousin Rylee were both witches.

This is Annika and the kids' other second cousin Kennedy.

I love this picture below. It's the end of the night and everyone is checking out their loot. James had slept through all the trick-or-treating and woke up to candy heaven! Elora sees him coming though and is not about to let him get at hers!
