Our Thanksgiving Vacation

We had the opportunity to go to North and South Carolina for our Thanksgiving vacation. Curtis' brother Merrill and his wife Cami and their family live in Durham NC. It was a great time. We went down to Charleston SC and just drove around and walked around the outdoor market. There is a lot of history there. It was a beautiful city. Then we met the family in Myrtle Beach and spent the remainder of the week there at a resort and on the beach. I never thought I would spend my Thanksgiving at the beach with 80 degree weather but it was gorgeous. It was so nice to see everyone. We miss you all so much and are so thankful that we got to spend that time with you. Thank you Merrill and Cami for letting stay in your house and thank you to Jeremy and Amie for setting up for us to stay at the resort. And of course thank you to Mike and Janette for everything you did for all of us. It was a truly memorable Thanksgiving. We love you all!!!!

Thanksgiving with the class

Before we left we took this fun picture.
Vance loved running through the kitchen and dining room.

The classmates smiling big for the camera.
This was a great night. Thanks everyone for making this possible.

Pumpkin Carving

As if everyone couldn't already guess what Curtis was going to carve into his pumpkin but here is proof. He did a Sundevil and I did a Trick or Treat one. It was really fun carving pumpkins. It was our Family Home Evening this week. Funny story, while we were outside carving our pumpkins there were a ton of Ladybugs flying around our deck. So I was pulling seeds and stuff out of my pumpkin when I hear Curtis say "No Vance spit it out!" I just said I don't even want to know but I could guess what it was. Yes you guessed it... My son ate a Ladybug!!!! I know all you moms of toddlers out there are laughing because you know all about it but this was my first gross out moment when my son ate a bug. I am sure it won't be the last but I don't think it will get any easier. Well I hope you all enjoyed your Halloween. We love you all!!!

CHEESY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is kind of blurry but you can still tell what it is.
Here is a picture of what it looked like not lit up.
Here they both are up on the porch. When I went out to light them I got attacked by lady bugs and you can't see them but there are a ton on the light parts of our pumpkins. It was a little creepy but I would rather have lady bugs than some other things.
Here they are all lit up. Pretty impressive huh!!!!
