Thanksgiving 2012

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa O's house in Galena.  It was a great time of family and feasting.  We are so thankful to have a wonderful family and yummy food to eat.  Thank you for being lovely hosts, Grandma and Grandpa O!

Art Party

Our friend, Lucy, had an art party for her birthday.  It was super fun!  Grandpa Talley came along for the celebration.  We painted with finger paints and we decorated cupcakes.  The edible art was definitely my favorite.  :)

Halloween 2012

Halloween is such a fun time of year!  Check out all the cool Halloween stuff we did.

We visited Ferrari Farms Pumpkin Patch where we went on a hayride, visited some farm animals, and picked out some pumpkins.

We rode the Pumpkin Train in Virginia City which took us to a random spot in the middle of nowhere to pick out some more pumpkins.

We got dressed up for a Trunk or Treat event where we played games and gathered loot.

 

We went to a costume party hosted by one of Mommy's MOMS Club friends.

We carved pumpkins

 

We took lots more pics in our costumes

And we went trick or treating!

26 pictures (narrowed down from 500) and now you've experienced all of our Halloween festivities for 2012!

Hope you all had a happy Halloween too!

Cali Visit - Oct 2012

The third weekend of October, we flew with Mommy to California to do some visiting.  Grandma Linda and Andy Pop let us stay at their house.  We got to see Papa Sugar and Me-Ma who were visiting from Texas.  Our Great Aunt Edith and her sons, Stan and Gary, also drove over from Santa Clarita to hang out with us a while.  Hugs and sugars were abound!  Below are some pics:

After a couple days visiting with Me-Ma and Papa Sugar, they headed back to Texas.  Then we went to LAX to pick up our beloved AMNT who flew in all the way from London.  We had a big dinner with AMNT, Grandpa Talley, Grandma and Grandpa Tait (who were visiting from Belize), Miss Cathy, and Dylan at the Cheesecake Factory.  It was a fun reunion and so nice to have everyone together. 

AMNT stayed with us a while at Grandma Linda and Andy Pop's.  She and Mommy helped out Grandma Linda as she was at the end of her radiation treatments and Andy Pop as he was having shoulder surgery.  We also worked in some good play time and a fancy lunch at Souplantation with Grandpa Talley.

It was a great time visiting with people we love.  Thank you so much to everyone who came to see us!  We're also happy to report that Grandma Linda is healing up from the radiation treatments and Andy Pop's surgery went well.

Love, 

Talley & Maverick
