Thanksgiving

This year since we are living on the other side of the country we decided that we would stay here in Bloomington for Thanksgiving, if we had more time and money we definitely would have made the trip to see family but this year just didn't allow for that. Jake didn't have classes the week of Thanksgiving but had lots of networking and GA work to do. So we decided to have a little Thanksgiving dinner with a few people that were sticking around here in B-Town with us.

We had a great time and great food, we broke away from the traditional turkey and ate ham. We were all bigger ham fans anyway so it worked out good =) Thanks to Deepti and the Busby's we enjoyed the company!

Its a......

GIRL!!!! We will be seeing more pink! Sadie has been right all along. She has been talking about her baby sister since we told her she was going to have sibling. I really thought it was going to be a boy because the pregnancy has been so different from Sadie's but, we are going to be blessed with another princess.

Indianapolis Children's Museum

The children's museum here in Indiana is spectacular. It is know to be the best children's museum in the Nation! Sadie and I have had the opportunity of going twice now since we have moved here. This museum is so big, we have still not seen the whole thing! Maybe if we are able to go every couple of months we will be able to see the whole thing by the time we leave =) Here are some of the pictures we have taken during the two times in which we were there. Enjoy!

 Riding the carousel. We went on this 3 times that day, it was Sadie's favorite.

Trunk-or-Treat and Halloween

Can you tell how busy we were this year with Halloween celebrations?!? (notice the three previous posts) Makes me wonder what Thanksgiving and Christmas are like around here... We already have 3 event invites for Thanksgiving (each invite is for a different night too, looks like we will be nice and plump)! =0)

So our final halloween event was our ward Trunk-or-Treat and Chili cook off. I was amazed at the turn out, every seat was taken and people were standing everywhere trying to eat. I was worried that they might run out of food, but at the end there was still food left over. Anyway, we ate a nice chili dinner and then took the kids out to get their treats. Sadie had so much candy from the trunk-or-treat and other 2 events I wasn't sure we would take her out for Halloween, but, guess what... we took her out with to a few houses here in the neighborhood. We met up with our neighbors who have a girl her age, her and her friend ran from house to house squealing and screaming with delight. They thought that getting lots of candy was fun. This years Halloween was a blast, next years halloween has a lot to live up to.

Oh and guess what, I get mom of the year award for laziness, I didn't get any picture of the trunk-or-treat or halloween night =( I will try to do better next time.
