Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

This will be the first year of my entire life that I haven't had Thanksgivng with a very large group. This year will just be me, Robb, Toby, Tyce and Robb's mom. Even though I will miss my family, I'm really looking forward to a more intimate, sit down, candle lit dinner.

Toby's at such a fun age right now and really likes to help me with things and do crafts so me and him are starting now and putting stuff together to set our Thanksgiving table with. We started with making the name card settings.

We went on a nature walk and gathered leafs and pinecones from around our subdivision.

After soaking the pinecones in vinegar and pressing the leafs, we painted the leafs and pressed them on our name cards

We then put our names on them and will secure them in the pinecones

Walla! Our all-natural name cards!

More fun to come!

A California Halloween

Our first Halloween in California was a great success! It was so nice doing something new and we didn't even need jackets. The weather was beautiful and in the 70's...

I put Tyce in the same costume Toby wore on his first Halloween. I just didn't want to spend money on a new one that I knew he would be in the less then an hour.

It totally ticked him off when I put it on him so it was less then 10 minutes! Just long enough to snap a couple pics

We carved Toby's pumpkin. He choose the design. A cat bat.

We went trunk or treating. It was a party complete with giant jump houses at the end!

Toby was BATMAN!

Me and Chrissy took him and Maddy to the fall carnival at the church where they played games, won prizes, got their faces painted and even got to ride a pony!

The night before Halloween Robb took Toby to the Kern County Museum where they had over 30 spots to trick or treat and lots of spooky and fun characters to see as well. They had a lot of fun and by then his bucket was almost filled to the top with candy.

All in all, it was pretty over the top and one he'll never forget.
