Thanksgiving

I know this is a little delayed...I'm a procrastinator, what can I say? We had a great Thanksgiving. We were going to have dinner with both families on Thursday, however there were some complications and my family could not come over until Saturday. So, we spent Thursday with Ryan's family.

Jackson and Lincoln with Great Grandma Dempsey and Lincoln's Aunt Mandy

Lincoln and Jackson are 7 months apart...
Lincoln will catch up in no time

I guess it worked out for the better because that way we could spend more time with each of them. I love Thanksgiving. There are so many things that I only get to eat on Thanksgiving. As it gets closer I anticipate it every year. I love that time together as a family too. I don't get to see my family enough, so when I do I try to soak it all in.

The four sisters....and Lincoln with Aunt Ashley

When my family came on Saturday we also celebrated Yohann's 2nd birthday!


Yohann tried some of the frosting before we sang to him...
I don't think he liked it by itself

Trunk or Treat

Saturday was the church Trunk or Treat activity. Ryan and I are in the primary, so we always help out. Grandma and Grandpa Dempsey came over earlier that day and brought Lincoln his first Halloween costume.

He is the cutest tiger

Ryan carved a pumpkin for the pumpkin carving "contest".
They never said who won though.


The pumpkin next to Ryan's is Joel's...it is the Joker
At least there were other pumpkins this year. Last year ours was the only one.
Ryan always has fun carving it though.


Lincoln even had a pumpkin this year. It looks like him doesn't it?


We had an activity booth that we ran. We were in charge of the "Balloon Spiders". Lincoln ended up falling asleep and Ryan was holding him, so he disappeared and went and did some other stuff, leaving me all alone to try and help continuous swarms of kids make their balloon spiders. I definitely needed another person helping me. Luckily most kids came in with their parents, so they could help out.


Yohann was a dinosaur and Kamina was a turtle




Jessi and Devin were chefs and Myla was the lobster in a pot...so cute!

It was a pretty fun night all together. We always have fun at the primary activities.

Hanging out with Family

Saturday Lincoln and I went and spent some time with Joel, Michela, and Yohann. I think Yohann is getting a little more comfortable around Lincoln, which is good since he is going to have a new sibling soon. Yohann always makes me laugh though, and he speaks really clearly for not even being two yet. His new favorite thing to say is "That's crazy"...so funny coming from a little kid.

Lincoln is already almost half the size of Yohann
