Thanksgiving Traditions

What are some of you favorite family Thanksgiving traditions? Please share if you will!

28 years

Today is my 28th birthday. I know I'm getting up there...but it's been a fun ride so far. My hubby and kids made me a nice dinner and baked me a cake! In the 9 1/2 years we've been together he's never baked me a cake or even bought me a cake. So that, to me, was awesome! It turned out good too (but mine are still better! lol) They got me some nice gifts too. I have such a wonderful family!!!

Happy Halloween

First we went Trunk or Treating at one of the local churches and then we went Trick or Treating around our neighborhood. The kids were Captain Hook, Peter Pan, and Tinkerbell. They were so cute!!! Here's some pictures of our crew!!!

Pumpking Carving

We carved our pumpkins Friday evening. At first Eric and Alex weren't too sure about the pumpkin 'guts' but Ivy didn't care! She dug right in!! Enjoy some pictures!!

Pumpkin Picking

Definately is not the same as NY when it comes to fall here in Florida. BUT we are trying to make the best of it. We found a place not too far from us that had some pumpkins and we went and got some. I do have to say they were way cheaper than we've paid in the past so that was nice. I know there's some more in depth pumpkin places but they cost too much to go to. Here's some pictures from our lil outing. We'll carve them on Friday.

Alligators

We have a pretty big lake right at the end of my street, and it has some Alligators in there. We took my Aunt Kay down to see them today before she left to go back to PA. They were scurring all around today. They are just babies. We haven't seen mama or daddy yet and sort of ok with that! lol
