LPS thanksgiving feast

so clearly i am a little behind on some of my posts but i was busy enjoying the thanksgiving festivities and hanging out with our family.   the week before thanksgiving samuel's school had a feast and a little program.  samuel decided he didn't really want to sing.  (his teacher told me after the performance that he was almost in tears when she told them to sing loudly.  this is funny because he is such a little ham at home)  it was a sweet little program and feast.

we're going on a leaf hunt

our dear friends, the goodmans, invited us to a leaf hunt.  we were so excited to see what mrs. kristin had planned for this!  she is super creative and always thinks of every detail. we had a blast with the other little boys reading the leaf hunt book, going on a leaf hunt, gathering leaves and doing leaf crafts.

lake tahoe anniversary trip

kyle and i recently took our TEN year wedding anniversary trip to lake tahoe.  even though our exact anniversary isn't until 1.5.2012 we took our trip early because of the twinkies coming soon after that.  (i won't be able or want to travel at that time)  even though i really wanted an all-inclusive beach trip i didn't want to leave the country and kyle found us a great deal in beautiful lake tahoe, ca.  it was just what we needed....relaxation, no children (even though we missed them terribly), good company, good food, shopping, cooler weather, changing leaves, beautiful scenery, sight-seeing, coffee dates every day and just being with each other.  

first stop on our journey...starbucks of course!

our amazing room

our ride...kyle scored us a great deal on the jeep for $20 a day!  we loved it!
