Thanksgiving 2012

This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our house. Grandpa & Grandma Erickson came over and Uncle Keith, Aunt Cari, Ridge, and your new little cousin Sage. Uncle Ryan couldn't make it but you got to hang out with him the weekend before. We had a great dinner! Daddy cooked a prime rib on the BBQ and Grandma & I cooked a 21 lb turkey. We had our traditional side dishes; green bean casserole, sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows, mashed potatoes, and lots of stuffing. It was really good and you absolutely loved all of it! But your favorites were the stuffing and sweet potatoes!! I also made a couple pumpkin pies and lemon meringue pie. You devoured your pumpkin pie! We had a great time and you had a blast playing with your cousins. It's definitely another one for the books!

The Griz/Cat Game

Last weekend we took you to your second Griz football game. This was a big game too! It was against "the Cats", the Griz's biggest rivalry. Your Uncle Ryan even came over from Idaho for it and he's a Cats fan. It's a fun game and our family has a lot Griz fans and Cats fans. Aunt Jenn came with us and we had a blast. You did awesome and the weather was perfect! It got a little chilly towards the end of the game but you didn't mind because we bundled you up pretty well. We even got you to wear your Griz hat for most of the game!

Halloween

You had a very busy Halloween!

First, you got to go to daycare all dressed up. They had a little party for you guys!

Then we made the rounds to all the grandparents works and even stopped at my work. 

At Nana B's work, they had a big Halloween celebration with games, a craft station, a cookie decorating station, and even a haunted house. We took you through the haunted house but only after daddy scouted it out first. Luckily he went first when we took you through because they scared daddy instead of us.

We tried to take you trick-or-treating in Grandma Pam's neighborhood but you were more interested in walking up and down the block and pointing at all the trick-or-treaters. This was perfectly fine with us because we really didn't need any more candy!

We had a great time and you were the cutest Elmo ever!
