Halloween this year was so fun! Preston had a grand old time taking candy from strangers, even though he would take a piece then want to give it back to them ;o) It was so cute!
We went to our ward Truck-or-Treat the Friday before Halloween and went to people's cars to trick-or-treat, had a cake walk, face painting and fishing for prizes. Then we went inside the church and had a costume parade for all the little ones and ate some yummy dinner. It was a lot of fun!!
This year Preston dressed up as a puppy dog because he is in Love with doggies and has a little stuffed dog that he carries around with him all the time and sleeps with every night, so I thought that dressing him up like a dog would be fitting! Alexa dressed up as a Princess because she is such a girlie girl and loves all Princesses, but she decided her favorite was Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She loved dressing up in a fancy dress, wearing her high heels, getting her hair done up, and I even let her put some make-up on! She loved it!!
Halloween night we had some friends come over to Grandma and Grandpa's house in League City where we all went trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, where we went last year. It's a big loop and just the right amount of houses before the kids got too tired. Alexa's friend Maddie Smith, and Kailee Russell (and their families, including little Derek Russell, Preston's little friend) came with us and it turned out to be quite fun going as a big group!

Ready for Trick-or-Treating!
Now for Thanksgiving... this year we went to my parent's house and it turned out to be very nice and relaxing! My brother Marcus is away at BYU (he went to Washington to see my other brother and his wife for Thanksgiving) so it was my parents, Chris and us. Alexa and I helped make some yummy pies the day before and my mom cooked the turkey this year with some citrus fruits instead of stuffing and oh my Goodness! It was sooo yummy!!! I'm not a huge fan of stuffing anyway, so it really was my ideal kind of turkey!!
After dinner we played some games with Chris, while my mom took Lexi and Preston on a walk :o) So we really enjoyed the time with my family this Thanksgiving!!!
