Christmas 2011

Yes, I know I am in the wrong year, but I think blogging while working and having 3 kids and housekeeping is like a wedding gift:  You have to do it within a year.  Christmas for us was, as usual, a whirlwind affair that crossed several states, followed by a month of me throwing out half the house so I can make room for all the gifts. I tend to get a little Scroogie just anticipating it all, but seeing all of our family makes it all worth it.  For all of you that think I forgot to post any pictures from your homes, you are wrong.  I didn't forget, I just don't know where the pictures are.  Anyway, maybe these Christmas pictures will get everyone ready for Christmas 2012.  The excitement is building at the Price household!

Unfortunately, we had to decorate without Shane this year, but I had some great little elves to help.

Celebrating with Grannie Flo

And to all a good night.  This reminds me so much of me of my Grandma, and proves that there are still some things you can still do with a bum knee!

Halloween 2012

It's the most wonderful time of the year!  I don't care what the song says.  I love Halloween.  It is such a great time with games and candy and hayrides and wonderful fall weather.  Our Halloween was spread over two occasions since it was on a weeknight, which makes it even better.  We went the weekend before Halloween to our neighbors church for trunk-or-treat, bobbing for donuts, free food and a hayride through the cemetery.  It gave us a chance to do a trial run and work out the costume glitches, not to mention that I wasn't finished with the costumes.  Then on "real" Halloween, we did a little door-to-door action and then went to the Ruritan club and had a cake walk (my personal favorite-nothing like some old lady cakes), bouncy houses, games and the most longest, most awesome high speed hayride I have ever been on.  That tractor guy ROCKED. 

Oompa oompa doopity doo...poor Henry was no fan of makeup application.  He cried off his before we ever finished and stained his little collar orange.

Zombie ninja.  You'd be surprised how many ninja based costumes there are.

Not a vampire, Count Dracula.  And he let everyone know, too.

 

 I just liked this one because  Henry totally looks like he is getting attacked by a ninja and a vampire, but they are just trying to pose him for the picture.

 

A little more cooperative.

Happy Halloween!  And a big thanks to Mawmaw and Shane for helping pull this all together!!!!!
