Lots more snow for Bancroft. I hate to say it but it was actually really pretty this day. We had large flakes falling. And yes, I said “It looks like a snow globe!” again. But hey, it did.
We had to let Lily see (and taste behind my back)…thanks Daddy.
Last Saturday Santa came to town. We put Lily on his lap and Phil told him she wants a large screen TV for Christmas. I’m not sure how Lily felt about the whole experience, she didn’t cry but made sure we weren’t going anywhere.

My second time to prepare Thanksgiving dinner for my little family to enjoy. I only called my Mama 4 times. I’m an old pro now.
The neck! The perfect snack while I wait.
Finally the turkey is done. Phil asked for the second year in a row, “How do you cut this thing?”
He needs to study up before next year I think.
Lily waits patiently at the table, mouth watering.
And it’s time to eat! Saturday, November 1st, 2008

I was ready for Halloween in Bancroft this year! The weather was great, only in the 50s, so the kids were everywhere! I carved up some pumpkins for our porch to lure them in. It worked.
Our little Flapper! Lily’s first Halloween and all she could think of was sneaking out to the speakeasy for a little hooch. She had to settle for trick or treating on Main St instead.
Daddy’s girl! Boop boop bee doo!
The proud papa parading Lily. Here are some of her friends we saw while cruising Main.
Caleb the T-Rex.
Braxton as Eyeore.
And if anyone else besides Lily were to win cutest costume award it would go to Alix, she’s a Cleaning Lady! Audra was a cowgirl, she loves horses.
Alix LOVES baby Lily!
The Hales, all ready for the trick or treaters!

Halloween started off with a bang, well sugar cookies. I went out to my friend Wendy’s house with her mom Debbie to decorate spooky Halloween cookies, well spooky if your afraid of pumpkins, acorns and leaves.
Lily hung out with the big kids! These are her friends Alix and Jackson.
It was all she could do to refrain from eating this cookie, but it was only 10am after all. I didn’t have the same restraint.
