Halloween! Well Halloween was pretty uneventful we wanted to take the girls the church for their Christmas party b/c it was close to home and we didn’t have to go tracking around the universe begging for candy. So we stopped by and Lehna was dressed in her Lion costume and Maya was dressed in her pumpkin outfit (that she wore all day) and we head out. Lehna was great at first she liked looking at the other little kids in their costumes but then Lehna saw a clown and it was over. Lehna refused to stand on her own she wanted to be picked up and held and she kept both eyes on the clown. I tired to explain that it was just another little girl dressed up like she was but she didn’t understand nor did she care. Sooooo we went down the hall for the trick or treating and Lehna wasn’t a fan of the different rooms. Some teachers were dressed up and some were not the one’s that were not dressed up she seemed to be more comfortable around them but the one’s that were she wanted NO part of. She scrambled in my arms and tried very forcefully to get away. Tait carried a very happy Maya to the different rooms and she didn’t care about much at all. After we got down going to the different rooms there were a few games set up in the gym for the kids to play. Lehna didn’t care for the gooles dressed up running the games but she did have a good time playing the candy walk. Of course she played it like 50 times she never won but that was okay b/c she got enough booty just from the rooms. After going through the church we decided to go to Pizza Hut for dinner and Lehna and Maya both seemed to enjoy that.

Then we had a wedding the first weekend in November. My cousin Jeff got married to Rona in Peru . Actually they got married at the Missessionia Reservoir and it was a very nice wedding just very simple. We didn’t stay for the reception we had left our children at Tait’s parents and both weren’t feeling 100% so we didn’t want to leave them with sick kids so we went to go take care of them.

The Kiss
The second weekend in November we went to West Lafayette for Thanksgiving at Sarah and Adam’s. Sarah hosted and she made quite the spread of Asian cuisine. It was really good. She did make ham which was really tasty but the Asian food was very very good. I ate my share let me tell you. Mom and Terry were there as well and they got to play with the babies and I always enjoy that when they get to see them. Lehna wasn’t too afraid of Terry she warmed up a lot faster with them. She was more afraid of their dogs then anything. They have two big huskies so she was a little learning around them, but to be honest I was nervous for her b/c I didn’t want them to bite her. Sarah kept telling me that they were perfectly fine and that they wouldn’t bite them but I was still nervous. It was a nice gathering I really had a nice time. Their house is really nice way nicer then ours. We had a good time it was really good.

Maya looking very sweet!
Then this past weekend we actually had THANKSGIVING! It was pretty exciting. We went to Tait’s grandparents for Thursday lunch. We ate fried turkey and lots of traditional Thanksgiving dishes like mashed potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie, etc. It was pretty tasty I didn’t want to eat too much though b/c I knew that I was going to go to Peru for my grandma’s Thanksgiving and we were going to eat Porgies there sooo I wanted to make sure that I had room! It was so very wonderful both Thanksgiving I really have to tell you people that can cook really are wonderful individuals. I think it’s b/c I can’t cook that it really is amazing to me. I try to bake on occasion but I usually am okay about 60% of the time… which odds like that aren’t the best especially when it’s food involved. So I enjoyed myself on all levels at Thanksgiving. We didn’t play any games and grandma’s which is normally typically we normally don’t play games for Thanksgiving but we do for Christmas… strange hua! I really enjoyed catching up with my aunts and uncles I really enjoy their company so it was a good time.
(I didn't take pictures at Thanksgiving so have some you can enjoy the girls instead)
On Friday Night we went to my uncle’s roast, which was REALLY a ton of fun! We drove to Schererville for the event and it was fun. The atmosphere was light and fun. They had a belly dancer that should be in retirement and we got to dance around the table and it was really a lot of fun. I laughed a lot!!! I did get to tell a couple of funny stories but I of course didn’t embarrass him I mean how can you embarrass Steve! I did forget the toast part of the evening so I told funny stories but didn’t say anything nice about him, which is kind of funny.
I did take LOTS more pictures but I wanted to be able to protect the innocent so I am only displaying "G" rated pictures...
The wedding is this coming weekend and I’m very excited about it. I like going to weddings and I think this is going to be quite an exciting event it sounds like there’s going to be many people invited so that will make it fun. I enjoy being with my family so it’s going to be fun. We are going to spend the night there so it will be a mini vacation. So I hope to have pictures of that event once of course I get them off the camera.
Well that’s my update I hope you enjoyed reading about us.
