The perfect pie....

Okay - I am going to brag a little bit. This is the most perfect pie I have ever made. The crust was perfect, it baked perfectly, and looked so beautiful. I made 8 pies for Thanksgiving (crazy I know - blame my Mom). I made a peach pie for myself because it is my favorite. Then it turned out so perfectly, we didn't end up cutting in to it until last night (two days after Thanksgiving). It tasted pretty perfect too :)

We had a turkey at home on Sunday and let Jack have his first drumstick....

He really enjoyed it :)

On Friday we took some family pictures with the Sampson family. Here is one I took from my cell phone. We will post others in a couple weeks.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!!

Visit to the Great North....

We went to visit Nate and Kathy in Grande Prairie Alberta Canada. It was my first trip very far in to Canada. Here we are crossing the border:

The reason for the trip was that the Canadian Buckleys had a new addition to their family - Leah Mae Buckley was blessed while we were there. Here is a picture of Jack and Leah:

Grande Prairie is significantly far away and in the middle of the tundra. Here are pictures of the view from Nate's back porch. We took the kids to the park and check out the view there :)

While we were visiting we had a true Canadian experience. We went Curling! It was SO much fun! All the kids got to curl as well and it was a awesome. The first picture is Kathy and Cooper.


We also went 5 pin bowling. It was a very interesting experience. The balls are really small and you have no control of where it ends up. We had a great time.


Some Celebrating after the few strikes we had:

Thanks for letting us come play Canadian Buckleys!!! We had a great time!

Buzz, a Queen and a Giant Mustache

We had a great Halloween this year.

Jack was a Giant Mustache (His idea - and making the costume was pretty interesting)

Mackenzie was a Queen. She has upgraded past Princess :)

Jaron was Buzz Lightyear (To one-finiti and beyond!!!)

Sorensen's came over and we went to the Pumpkin Patch. It was so much fun.

A year in Wenatchee has made Mauvia weak :) She was cold the entire time



Later - we carved Pumpkins

Jack made sure his pumpkin had a giant mustache. Kenzie was a girl and even had a bow and eye lashes. Jaron's was....well....Jaron's :)
