A Thanksgiving "Blessing"

May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!

Edie's First Halloween

 


Here are some pictures of Edith's first Halloween. We didn't go out trick-or-treating because Joel got home from work late and we don't need anymore candy. :) But we thought it would be fun to get her all dressed up and take some pics. She wasn't too sure about the whole ordeal but Mom and Dad had fun! :)

A Bouwman Halloween

The kids wanted to "go western" since the maze had an Old West theme this year. Bear went for the Wyatt Earp look, and Bronwen wanted to be, in her own words "a pink cowboy-girl"!!!

Mac was supposed to be a little cowboy---we hd the outfit ready, but at the last minute he wimped out and decided to be a giraffe. (We think he saw make-up on Berend and was afraid he'd have to do make-up too!)

With no time change it was a little bit bright and sunny when we took off for trick-or-treating! We did not even light our jack-o-lanterns until we got home!

We trick-or treated at EP Center before hitting a few friends and families houses.Renato went with all of us to the mall. He's a friend from the farm who is from Ecuador. He wanted to see what this crazy American holiday was all about! We sure showed him: CANDY!!!!!
