Harvest Feast

This year for Thanksgiving as I sat down at the table I had a wave of emotions strike me. As I looked around the room I realized it was the first time I really was grateful for the harvest. We went to my brother-in-laws and were surrounded with family who truly harvest for our families benefit and others. I am grateful for farmers and all they do for everyone. Without farmers growing crops the stores would be empty. This year I am grateful for my farming family.

The boys had a good time with their cousins and playing on the farm. Unlike my father-in-law, my brother-in-law has animals besides just crops. Gavin LOVED petting and watching all the animals. The have cows, a horse, and goats. They even have a baby goat that is a little over a week old. Gavin kept saying "awe look at him he's soooo cute!"

Atlas Turns 2

 Today Gavin and I headed to one of his friend's birthday parties. Atlas just turned 2 this week. Their family has 2 boys and Gavin is smack-dab in between them in age. They use to attend our church ward but moved so we don't get to play with them as much as we use to but they did move closer since the first move, so they're about 30 min away now. Anyway Gavin had fun and even hijacked some of Atlas's new toys (he let him everyone was taking turns).

I think it's safe to say, I think Gavin wants one. It actually drives.

Halloween Week

This year was the first year Gavin really grasped the concept of Halloween and boy did he love it. His festive events started on Thursday with Clint's company haunted house. Every year they turn the office into a haunted house and have trick-or-treating, crafts, and games for the kids. Then that evening we went to the towns parade, where all the kids who want to walk in their costumes can and get goody bags. After the parade they can trick-or-treat from 6-8 so I took Gavin around a few houses then headed home. 

Friday night we had our church trunk-or-treat and chili dinner. Gavin and the boys had fun and it was nice to be able to take them all. 

Saturday of course was the main event! Carson, Cole, and Gavin got dressed up and I ventured out. Gavin thought trick-or-treating was fun on Thursday with just me, but last night he had a BLAST with the twins. We got home and he asked if we could go again but it was too late for him and I did not want to go walking around again haha.
