Happy Thanksgiving!

We had Thanksgiving at our house yesterday. Roscoe assumed his normal post under the table as soon as he could. At one point he was trapped under there by chair being pushed in but managed to get out to get some bites of turkey.

The turkey turned out great. It was actually done a half hour early! I couldn't believe it actually got done early!

I was happy that dinner turned out well. Carrie held Addison while Jenn ate. Addison is getting so big.

Allyson REALLY enjoyed the chocolate pie.

Alexa really enjoyed the Cool Whip, so much so that she grabbed a handful of it!

Clam Digging

Jason headed over to Westport yesterday to go clam digging with a group of his co-workers. I wanted to go but had other commitments. He took Roscoe with him to work on his training. As you can see, like father like son, both are wearing camo! Jason and everyone in his group (almost 30 people!) limited out.

Happy Halloweiner!

Happy Halloweiner to all! I hate dressing up, I always have. I made the Fonz put on his leather coat briefly to pose for a picture. Notice my shirt - Halloweener dog. I love the great stuff you can find online these days!

We've had lots of trick or treaters. Jason is answering the door while watching college football and I'm working on stuff around the house. Looking forward to a low key day tomorrow!

And we're done....

We went to Rainier again today so I could help finish all of our stuff. We made our batches of homemade kahlua and I also baked our famous cakes in a jar.

Allyson stopped by to visit us. She played wonderful music on the piano she got from Grandma and Grandpa for her birthday. Fonzie was riveted.

Tripleberry

We finished up our annual jam sessions this last weekend. We made strawberry, strawberry rhubarb, tripleberry and blackberry.

Allyson's First Pumpkin Patch visit

We joined the crew on a visit to Lattin's Cider Mill. The mud was unbelievable but the freshly made apple fritters made it worth it. Jos and Geri were in town from Holland so joined in the merriment. I'm sure they think we're just crazy Americans going hunting for pumpkins in a muddy field!

Allyson's First Birthday Party

I am not too found of this new version of blogger which is why I have not been posting. Allyson's party was held a couple weeks back. Jason made her a toy chest, it turned out great as usual. I think she needs to patent this scowl, she has it down pretty good!
