THANKSGIVING

I was so excited April and her family were coming for Thanksgiving. It started out great, getting all the food ready, etc... April and I even did the Turkey Trot our Stake does every Thanksgiving morning. Dinner was great and everyone came to our house this year, My Mom, Susan, Nancy, Trudy, Cory, Taina, and their families all came. It was a full house. I went down hill soon after and we didn't even do our traditional going to the movies. By the next day I was as sick as could be and was so mad I had to miss out on everything. But an early Christmas miracle happened. Mike surprised me by putting up all the decorations by himself! He even did a great job. I was shocked to say the least. I was glad that April went to visit friends and Steve's family so their trip was still fun. And of course their were several games of Wilson Rummy. So all in all there is alot to be thankful for this year!

HALLOWEEN

Thanks to our neice Bree-N we all look forward to our annual Davies Halloween Bash. She does such an amazing job starting with the super cute invitations, great food,whimsical decorations, crazy party games, coveted prizes, and lots of spooky good fun!

It's game time!

I don't know where she comes up with her game ideas, but they are always unique and alot of fun. We never know what to expect! I think she just enjoys watching us make fools of ourselves.

Our neighborhood knows how to celebrate Halloween. We have a carnival and everything is free! There are at least 20 games, small rides for the little ones, a haunted garage, live music and dancing, with dinner and treats. Everything is volunteer and about 1,000 attended this year. Families dress up and it's alot of fun. We also like to sit outside while handing out candy because we live in fabulously warm Arizona. And even though it is perfect weather, having a little fire to warm your hands is really nice!
