November Happenings

This last week we were able to celebrate the marriage of Dan's sister Amber to Lonnie Brown. We're excited to have him in our family and the wedding turned out great. Congratulations you guys.

This is my 85th wedding cake. I think it turned out great. Amber said that she only wanted a few things for her wedding and this cake was one of them. She loved it.

On the 12th we celebrated my mom's 55th birthday. We had a little family dinner and opened presents. Mom loves pumpkin pie- thanks to Missy for getting the dessert.

Tanner gave his grandma a Lego game. She has most of the other ones so we thought that we'd add to her collection. Happy Birthday Mom!

Monday my dad had shoulder surgery. He's been having problems with his shoulder for a while- years and years and the doctor finally said that he needed a new one. They replaced the ball joint with a metal one that bolted into the bone and a plastic socket for it to sit in. They also had to re-attach a muscle. He'll have to wear the sling for 6 weeks and do a lot of therapy but eventually he'll be able to use his shoulder again.

Halloween

This was Tanner's first Halloween and I think he had a great time. We finally got our pumpkin carved and Tanner loved playing in the bowl of pumpkin guts.

We had 5 pumpkins this year. Our biggest pumpkin weighed 82 lbs and the smallest one about 65 lbs.

I didn't have time to make my costume so I ended up just being Raggedy Ann - a costume I had from a couple of years ago. Tanner was a big hit being a Penguin. Everyone thought he was so cute.

Our Costumes: Dad- a Muggle from Harry Potter, Mom- a glow in the dark Butterfly, Logan- a bush, Tyler- a stick figure, Amber- a pirate wench, Tanner- Penguin and Rach- Raggedy Ann.

And Tanner counting his spoils from Trick or Treating.
