We had a great Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for. Family is on the top of the list!




We were happy to keep the Allen Family Christmas Tree Hunt Tradition going this year. (after all that pie for Thanksgiving, you need to work it off some way...)




We found our "perfect" tree for Christmas 2010


Even though it was a little different to not have everyone join us, we enjoyed it.

Ready or not Here come the holidays!

This year, Tyler "graduated" from Trick or Treating. While he hated the idea of it, he had about 12 friends over for a party instead. (I wasn't thrilled with the party idea...I was stressing out.) We had pizza, breadsticks, pop and TONS of goodies. They played some games and we watched a movie.



We had plenty of curious boys to run to the door to greet the trick or treaters every time the doorbell rang. I cant believe I'm saying this, although I think I've been converted to Halloween parties at our house... I didn't have to do much, (7th grade boys parties are much different than doing a baby shower etc) everyone had fun, Tyler was happy and we knew what the boys were up to.



We celebrated Bryce's Birthday (on Sunday) with a quiet dinner with his parents. We appreciated them driving down here to spend some time with us.



I decided I needed a little change.
However my hair only looked like this for 1 day--the day my hair dresser did it.
