Thanksgiving

 This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Hall side of the family and as always we had a ton of fun packed with non-stop activities and tons of food.  We started off by having the turkey trot at the church with of course family pictures which I am proud to say turned out fairly well!  Then food, the dance off competition, and then Dessert!  This year's winners of the dance off were Colton (for the younger division) and Amanda for the adult division. I don't have pictures of them, holding a baby or something but hopefully someone will send me some.  Some of the things I am thankful for are: the wonderful family that Jeremy has and for their love and support, I am grateful for my family and the strong influence that they are to me. My sister was not able to enjoy Thanksgiving this year due to her chemo treatment, but I am grateful that it was her last one and that she can finally see the end to this horrible cancer.  She now has radiation to go through but we are praying that it is not as bad as the chemo.  I am grateful for a wonderful husband, and kids, but most of all I am grateful for my Savior and my testimony of him!
 Grandma and Grandpa got ran over by some cute reindeer!
 I am thankful for such a cute and precious baby girl that brings so much joy to our family!

Halloween Fun!

 We had a fun Halloween week this year! At our house it always seems like Halloween is all week long!! The kids have red ribbon week which is a D.A.R.E. thing to keep kids off drugs. So everyday they have a theme and dress that way: crazy hair day, red day, sock day, sports day, ect.  Then a party with the Hall's included eating a doughnut, or rice crispy treat off a string(above: Colton, Mckenna, Kade)  Bobbing for candy in packing peanuts(below: Carson) Then we also had a trunk or treat at our ward building which I always love!
 Here is the clan all dressed up? Colton-Ninja Turtle, Kade-Karate kid, Kennedi-Cute cowgirl, Quinton-Nerd, Mckenna-Pirate, Carson-Ninja
 All the Hall grandkids!
I had to get a picture of my cute pink Cowgirl!
And of course carving pumpkins! Five or Six is just too many to carve so this year we put everyone of teams. With the older kids they got to do most of the carving themselves and we just supervised! It was great!

 Mckenna invited a friend (Laramie) since Kennedi can't do too much yet!
 And as a side note Kennedi is almost 6 mo. old and is sitting up on her own!! Rolls and all!
