Nov - Dec 2008: Catch Up on My Blog...

We had a nice Thanksgiving with the Gardners in VA this year. Matt always enjoys playing with his cousins - they even took a break from running around to watch Kung Fu Panda together:

Then, we had the opportunity to visit family and friends in NY in early December.

We also enjoyed our "extended family dinner" this year in Arlington, VA at Laura's home. We got to hang out with Laura, Doug, Michelle, Kate, Susan, Jerry and Jenni before heading down to Florida for Christmas.

Great Country Farms

Matt's friend Reagan turned 3 and had a great party at the Great Country Farms in Bluemont, VA on Saturday, Nov 1.

Happy Halloween!

We had a great time last night trick-or-treating with Matt and Emma. We had dinner in a pumpkin at the Murphy's house, got dressed in our costumes over at Lauren and Allen's with "the guys," then headed back to our block for some trick-or-treating and visited with a few neighbors, then went up to a party at our neighbors with the kids.

Matt couldn't wait to go trick-or-treating!
