Our first Thanksgiving of the year - complete with hot, burning oil safety zone!
Peyton had said she wanted the Turkey on the Bone - she calls chicken legs "chicken on the bone". She was a little surprised by the size of a turkey.

we hope you enjoy our blog. it has become our way to document the daily joys and trials of raising two spirited, independent, sometimes stubborn, always loveable young girls.
We decided it was time to do a little beach clean up. Someday we'll have better stairs - but these are them! Not many people have been down the bouncy, homemade stairs. The girls are great about going up and down - they both do it all by themselves with Chris or I below them in case they fall - It's a long, steep way down to the rocky water.
We had two huge fires to burn all the limbs and brambles. We had some pretty tall flames - Peyton is 4' and the base of the fire was 2' below where she's standing.
We had a very big day yesterday! After school we started Trick or Treating at Grandma & Poppa's where the girls were treated to chocolate cupcakes! Then we traveled further north to Sohie & Ceci's house and had a super time with the superheroes! Then it was back to town to meet up with Daddy and visit some of the businesses downtown. A little break for dinner had us back out on our street visiting 4 houses then down to the old neighborhood and Grammy Sue's. It was a very busy afternoon! Thankfully we did a lot of walking for the girls wore off the chocolate buzz and slept soundly!
