Like Mother, Like Daughter
Still nice to know kids are doing the same things in 2008 as they did in 1984 :)
p.s. can anyone tell me what that hook thing is supposed to be coming out of Mr. Potato Head's mouth?

Our little pilgrim
We had a fun Thanksgiving! We drove up to McKinney and had our yummy feast with the Willsons :) I also learned many things while preparing the food with Katie.
First - using the pumpkin pie recipe off the canned pumpkin makes a delicious pie. But don't cook the crust first! If this does happen, make sure you have plenty of store bought crust on hand and some chocolate pudding mix. Whip up the pudding, fill the cooked crust, and voila! a yummy chocolate pie :) You can't go wrong with more pie right?
Second - Do not use real green beans in the green bean casserole, been there done that, doesn't turn out... luckily green beans are a staple in most pantrys so crisis was averted, also cream of chicken soup works just as well....
Third - eating homemade orange rolls while making food is highly recommended (just remember to use milk, not water, when preparing the dough :)
Fourth - Katie's sister-in-law Sarah knows how to make a mean turkey!
Fifth - Frequent napping and cuddling with kids is completely necessary :)
Last, but not least - There's nothing wrong with wearing a bucket on your head!
Thanks for the great memories Katie!

Midnight Chicken
Abby gets a little loopy right before bedtime. We've recently discovered her midnight chicken...

End of October
Abby trick-or-treating like an experienced pro
She loved our neighbors blow-up pumpkins, she didn't care about candy after she saw these bad boys
Anniversary dinner - Mike surprised me and took me to a fancy smancy restaurant called Flemings. I've never been to a place like this before because we could never afford it...but thanks to Mike's job, he was given some money to spend on "dinner with spouse" as a reward for a project he did. It might quite possibly have some of the best food I've ever tasted :)
This is the first time in my life I've ordered steak at a restaurant (I'm more the chicken type), and I'll tell you that I ate every last bite of this hunk of meat. It was so incredibly delicious.
