Thanksgiving weekend







It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... the girls and I spent the day after Thanksgiving decorating the house and tree for Christmas.  They love looking at all of the ornaments and trying to remember where they came from.  Then, Brielle spends the whole Christmas season pulling different ornaments down to play with.  She loves them.  As a family, we went down to Temple Square and looked at the lights.  It was so busy, I don't think we will go again over Thanksgiving weekend, but it's so hard to find time in December!  Brielle wanted to go into the Assembly Hall and listen to the choir singing. I think we sat there for about 20 minutes.  The music was beautiful and it was nice and warm!  Then, on the way home we stopped and got ice cream.  Somehow, ice cream always sounds good no matter what season it is!

Halloween




Halloween is not my favorite holiday as you can see by my lack in pictures.  This year Emma wanted to be a pirate, but she had a hard time explaining what she wanted to look like.  We tried to come up with several different pirate "looks" which she wasn't satisfied with so she finally settled on a poodle girl.  Brielle had her eye on this witch costume from the moment costumes came out in stores.  I think the second picture was her being a "mean, old witch with a hat?"  Anyway, the girls did their costume parade at school and went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood at night.
