Halloween!

Hi Family,
I'm finally posting Halloween pictures (since it is almost Thanksgiving...). So for this year I decided to be Princess Peach from Super Mario Brothers, and it worked out because I talked Cyrus into being Mario!

Name Swap for Christmas

So you don't have to search your emails....Here is the Christmas Name Swap for 2008. One family (kids included) gives to another family (kids included) with a whole-family gift. Or, if you really, really want to do a single gift for the individual family members, that's fine. Start prepping your "wish lists" because you KNOW you're going to get a call from your sibling asking what you could really use this year. We want to get you something useful that you want! :)

Mystery, Inc.

Pictured from Left to Right: Velma, Freddie, Daphne, Shaggy (the doll) and Scooby-Doo.

The girls looked pretty good in the afternoon but as the evening went on they were looking a little worse for wear. Shaggy used to have hair but Claire tore that off right away, however he did keep his whiskers. Quite a few people thought Daryn was a bomber pilot... her "wig" looked more like a pilot helmet than hair. What do you think? Does she pass for Velma?

Claire definitely had a better idea of what Halloween was about this year. She was putting those candies in the bag without hestitaion. Trunk-or-Treat was a lot of fun and she ran around with the other kiddos on the church stage. And then on Halloween, we just drove around visiting families in our ward and Riverside's employees. We had our first real Thiel pumpkin... Claire was pretty grossed out but she liked to wave hi and bye to the jack-o-lantern in the end.
