AWANA Thanksgiving Feast

Dallas and Emma both had a part in the Thanksgiving program at AWANA. But before the program they fed the families a huge feast of food. This was the second turkey dinner we've had in November. The first one was early in November at our church.

We had a kids table...no adults allowed

Emma had one word to say and it was "cod" She did a fantastic job saying that word ;)

Dallas is waiting to say her lines too.

New Glasses!

After we got home from Boise the following week both girls had appointments with the eye doctor. Emma had prefect vision.....but Dallas' vision not so perfect. Good thing she's at the age when all kids want glasses. She loves them. Emma doesn't think the doctor was right with her testing.....she's sure she needs glasses too.

Trip to Boise

On November 16th my parents (Nanny and Bompums) celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary so we headed to their house to help them with the celebrating.

After church we headed to the Cheese Factory for some lunch. They sure know how to cook there. The waitress took our picture.

Halloween 2008

Every Halloween our church puts on a Trunk or Treat. Church members decorate their car trunk and hand out candy in the church parking lot. It loads of fun. This year the girls wanted to be princesses (big surprise!). The event is getting so popular that this year we ran out of candy and our youth pastor had to make a mad dash to the store to get more.

Here is Jen with her boys Alec and Gus.

This is another trunk with princesses in it. They were all over the place. These girls go to school with Dallas and Emma. Pictured are Princes Elly, Savannah, and Naomi.

Soccer Awards

The girls played soccer for the first time this year. They liked it at the beginning when the weather was nice and warm.....but as the season moved along and the days got colder their love for the sport cooled off too. At the last game it was 34 degrees with 40 mph winds. That one pretty much did them in. Dallas said she would much rather swim.

The kids got ice cream before their awards.

They each got a medallion to hang on their wall.

Here they are showing off their medallions with their ice cream faces. I was proud of them for finishing what they started, even if they don't ever want to play it again.
