November 2011, Photo Wrap-Up

The good news is that November is over (and we’re exhausted). The bad news is that December is on the way, which is sure to be even busier!

Halloween 2010 – The Preparation!

The days before Halloween were filled with sorting through decorations and preparing for the party. This year we made our own piñata and carved our “jack-o-melons” ahead of time.

We’ll have pictures from the massive party coming in the next couple of days, so definitely check back in!

RJ was planning on being a witch for Halloween... but ended up changing his mind later.
