Thanksgiving 2009

I wrote this entry a while ago. Sorry for taking so long getting it on. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We visited with family, ate (a lot), played, and just enjoyed our time off. Here are the pics from Thanksgiving.

We ended the weekend on a spiritual high. On Saturday our niece Madison entered the waters of baptism. She had been taking the missionary discussions for several months. Last month Les recieved the call that told us of this wondeful news. He was also asked to be the one to baptize her. Les was thrilled.

When the big day came it was apparent that Maddy was quite nervous. Les pulled her aside and talked things through with her. Before entering the font they had a little prayer and she seemed to feel a little better. Then her mom came in to talk to her and let her know she would be right there when she came out of the font. She also let Maddy know that if her Uncle Les dropped her or hurt her in anyway she would come into the font to get him back. It was enough to get her to smile. Great Job Maddy! Here are the pictures.

Halloween 2009

We hope everyone had a wonderful halloween. It was pretty good here. We started out the day with the making of cookies and other goodies. Les wrapped each plateful in plastic wrap. We delivered one plate to each house on our street.

After our deliveries we got everything for our costumes together. Once Emma put the cloke on that Les had made for her last year she would not take it off. She loves it!

We ate dinner and and got the candy ready for trick or treaters. Our first ones came at 4 (our last came after 10 even though our light was off by then). Around 6 Daniel and Jana brought their kids over. We took Emma and Sammi around to the houses on our street and then met up with Daniel's family to go to other houses in the neighborhood. Les and Sammi headed back to our house to wait for trick or treaters.

Here are pics from our night.

We had a great time! Emma didn't want it to end.

Happy Halloween!
