Halloween 2012

We kicked off Halloween at work by passing out candy to the kids in the hospital.  This is the first year that our team has participated and we had so much fun, we already have plans for next year.  Linda, Jess and I came up with the idea of being Cats!  Linda did the makeup, which was awesome!!!!  With a cart full of goodies, we headed to the hospital.

Then it was off to the evening festivities.  Gina and Tenley went to the carnival at church to help out.  They had so much fun helping in the Underground room.  They helped out from 5-7 which was just the right amount of time.  After that Gina ended up trick or treating with Analisa and Megan.  About an hour later the girls were exhausted and ready to head home.  Things sure do change when they get older, the spark of trick or treating has subsided a bit, long gone are the 2-3 hour trick or treating days which I am totally fine with!

Mom turns 70

We headed up to Placerville for mom's 70th birthday.  It was just the six of us, Mom, Dad, and sisters!  It was so much fun.  Dad and Mom picked up Karen, Robin and I at 8:30am.  We stopped at the Black Oak for breakfast then it was off to the outlets.  Amy met us there and we were off to shop till we dropped.  Dad was great, waiting for us to shop at Ann Taylor Loft and The Gap!  We then headed to Amy's house for a few snacks then off to wine taste.  The day ended with a wonderful dinner with Nancy, Bill and their friends from London.  It was great, a family style dinner with lots of great food, conversation and wine of course!!!

Happy Birthday to a wonderful MUM!!!!  We love her so much!!!!!!
