win the day!

Or night! It was a cold one and not such a great first half but the Ducks came back and blew Cal away! Thank you, thank you to Aunt Jan and Aunt Pam for watching the kids while we cheered on our beloved Oregon Ducks!

Having dinner and drinks at Pyramid brewery before we took a shuttle to the stadium!

The girls!

Mom and a very cold Dale! Ha! Ha!

My babe and I, with Santa Claus photo-bombing us!

We got to celebrate Dale and Grammy's birthday, a Duck win, and early Thanksgiving all in one weekend! Here's a some pics as our family rolled into town to start all the celebrations!

First Auntie Pam arrived!

Then we picked up Grammy, Auntie Jan, and Dale from the airport!

Addie was thrilled to see her aunties!

And finally the cousins were reunited!

We went out to dinner Friday night to celebrate Grammy and Dale's November birthdays!

So glad we got to celebrate Grammy and Dale! Happy, Happy Birthday you two!

For the first time since Kevin and I have lived here, it RAINED on Halloween night! We weren't worried about it when it started to sprinkle and we kind of laughed it off as we reminisced about all of our rainy Halloween nights growing up in Oregon. Then...it poured. We were all soaked by the time we made it back home. Even the stroller hood couldn't keep Liam completely dry. 

More importantly though, Addie had another year of enjoying the trick-or-treating experience. She still is a pretty brave little girl when it comes to the scary Halloween stuff. We only had to go with her on a couple houses. And Liam...he sat in the over-priced lobster costume for the whole ride around the neighborhood with hardly a fuss. It's fun to think, that last year at this time we still didn't even know what sex we were having. Now, I can't even imagine a Halloween without him!
