Halloween and Thanksgiving 2009

For Halloween this year, we went to Brandon and Mason's grandmother's house and watched the boys Trick-or-Treat. Puppy was a jail dog. I can't tell you how much she hates being dressed up, but she puts up with it. Brandon dressed up as his Uncle David Jones. He pretty much looked like a cowboy. Mason was a Sumo Wrestler. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera, so I don't have any pictures of them in their costumes. I really need to be better about taking more pictures. I've been slacking.

The Denver Zoo puts lights up everywhere around the holidays. We braved the cold and went to see the lights.

We went to Scottsdale for Thanksgiving with the boys and my family. We were able to see our friends, Nick and Jen, and TJ's brother, Mark and sister-in-law, Tracy while we were in town. Again, I'm terrible with the lack of pictures right now. We went miniature golfing, swimming, and did some Black Friday shopping. We scored the last Dyson Animal vacuum at Kohl's. Brandon came with TJ and I and thank goodness he did. He ran to the back of the store and got one of the two vacuums they had in stock. How I love the anticipation of Black Friday! Not knowing if you'll get what you came for... It's fun when you do score that item! We LOVE our new vacuum. If you have a pet that sheds, it's amazing. We were disgusted/amazed to see all the stuff the Dyson picks up that our old vacuum didn't. The boys also stayed over at the Williams' house and played with their kids. On our drive to AZ and back home, we listened to Twilight on CD. We really enjoyed it and it was a great way to pass the long hours in the car.
