Thanksgiving

 Grandma, Grandpa, Olga, Steve and Karleen came over for Thanksgiving dinner

 We spent a couple of days at the cabin over Thanksgiving weekend.  There was an intense Speed tournament.  In the end it came down to Niel and Camille in the championship, with Niel squeaking out a victory.  Quite exciting!

 We dug up the time capsule that we buried before Grandma and Grandpa's mission.  Each of us had written a letter to ourselves and placed a meaningful item inside.

It was a very fun and relaxing weekend.  It's always nice to be able to spend time with family.

Mr. Ogden

In November Scott participated in the Mr. Ogden pageant.  It is a charity event that the high school puts on to benefit Operation Smile.  Each club at the school chooses a different senior boy to represent them and they "compete" for the title of Mr. Ogden.  Scott was Mr. Softball.  The first picture is of the opening dance number the boys learned.  The second picture is of the costume portion, and the third picture is of the boys before their interview.  Scott is on the left in the 1st and 3rd pictures.  I'm sad I didn't get any pictures of his "talent."  I forgot to take any while I was watching.  He and his friend Lyden choreographed a dance number to accordion music and borrowed two accordions and danced around on stage in berets.  Pretty silly.

Happy Birthday, Camille!

Camille is 20!

I can't believe my little girl is now 20, but it's true.  She has become a beautiful, accomplished, driven, caring young women and I couldn't be more proud of her.  

Happy Halloween

 I have one child left who goes trick or treating.  Sigh

 Mummy dogs for dinner

 Scary jack o-lanterns

 We didn't have as many trick or treaters as usual this year, but Kevin's friends made up for it.  I dropped him off at a friend's house for a party and about an hour later the party started showing up at our house, group by group.  Soon the entire party had relocated.  Trick or Treat!
