Thanksgiving...

Thankful for dear family and sweet friends!

A Recital

The boys had there first music recital this weekend.

Conner on the Violin...

 And Aidan on the Guitar...

It was very sweet.  They were the newest players (a couple of months).  Conner was the very first to play and he had no problems.  Aidan was a little more nervous and played very quietly.  They were very inspired hearing the students that had been playing longer than they had!

Halloween!

Halloween was fun and not too crazy this year!  Euan didn't get back from Scotland until later in the evening so the boys went trick-or-treating with the neighbors while I greeted the crowds at our house.

Me and my oh so charming next-door-neighbor (he was a Will Ferrell character)...

There's no place like home...

And last but certainly not least, a picture of my nephew Ben in the Ice Cream cone costume I made him.  He supposedly got extra candy for being so cute (I'm going to get a cut of it!)...
