Thanksgiving Happiness

Thanksgiving this year was a quiet one yet, a fabulous one! My cousin from Tucson came to visit us for the week and we were privileged enough to spend our Thanksgiving in beautiful Sedona. Sedona has become one of my newest favorite places to visit. Regretfully, I didn't get any pictures of the surroundings BUT I did manage to buy myself a new camera on Black Friday, which quite frankly felt like the longest day of my life!

This was the first Thanksgiving I've ever had with snow, talk about magical! It was certainly a white little winter-y wonderland! 

Now, we're all geared up and ready for Christmas!

Halloween 2010

Halloween in the Morgan home this year felt a little bit rushed, un-organized, unplanned & completely chaotic! It felt like we had 1 day to put it all together, including costumes, and it lasted for THREE days!  I'm still recooping. ...the things we do for our kids!

We started Halloween on Friday night at our schools Halloween Fall Carnival, it was a blast!  I'm on the PTO board so we had to organize & run the event for the night...hence, why I'm still tired!  Ahhh, the lovelies of having such a large family..I put them ALL to work!  lol  With everything we have had going on lately with the house, it's pretty amazing we were able to pull it all together in such a short time and make it a great halloween for the kids.
The kids' pumpkins they did by themselves (with a little help)

We made the kids pumpkin shaped pizzas, this was kyla's roasted sweet potato pizza that she loves (weird, right?!  But it's good)
Beautiful Kyla!!

I asked him to be scary, LOL!
Paige and Shelby
THIS is why I was so tired~!  13 items we baked for the cake walk...if I have to smell another cake/cupecake cooking I'm liable to jump infront of a Semi!
This was a funny game, all the kids were playing to win those silly bands..you should have seen the line!
They both won some though..;)

Paige & Kyla at the cake walk (they ran it for me) LOVE these girls!
Ok..so Tyler had been doing the cake walk for 2 hours and had yet to win a cake.  Kyla decides she wants to try it and wins the FIRST time!  My heart would sink everytime Tyler's number wasn't called :(  He finally won a cake at the end of the night, you should have seen him leap out of his chair with an ear to ear grin once his number was called, precious!

There was my sweet little buggers, all night long!

It was such a great evening!

My Poor Animals...

The things you find when you share a camera with your kids!  Not sure when they took them, all I know is they are super cute!!!!  Bobo is such a little trooper!! ;)



Yes, that would be bo's BFF!  Literally, they must be married in dog/cat lives and not know they are different species!
