Pumpkin and spice

The girls
We finally got around to taking our much-anticipated kitchen trip out for an evening of bowling and pizza. It's always challenging to make it work with everyone's schedules, finding available transportation, etc, but everyone had a great time! There were several who had never been bowling before so it was extra fun for them!
The guys
Enjoying Dolly Dimples pizza! There were a couple of helium balloons hanging around and the boys got their new boss to try inhaling the helium and talking funny.

Today: My parents leave for home today. It was so nice to have them here for a long weekend! It was a really special weekend and I'm so glad they were able to make it! It snowed one evening but turned to rain by the morning and it's been soggy ever since! I'm really looking forward to it staying white! Btw, best new Christmas CD - Andrea Bocelli, My Christmas. Love it!! Thanks, Jenn! It's going to be a busy next few weeks! Eighteen turkeys are in the freezer for Thanksgiving dinner next week plus we're having Thanksgiving dinner this weekend at Sarah's. Sarah found a store that carries canned pumpkin so we'll be taking a trip there this week to get some for the pies this year instead of cooking it up fresh. Tomorrow is Florina's last day and then Stephen will be in the office full-time. We are also planning the A-lag Christmas feast which will be at Tønsberg's meeting hall since the hall at Brunstad is being rented out, so it will be fun making and transporting all the food there! Let's do this!

Hello back from everyone, Ange!

Sarah - Ready when you are...!!

Emily - That was tons of fun! We're going to do it a little different this year and put all the turkeys on the tables and one person at the table has to cut the turkey for everyone at his table. I hope that goes ok, but it should move the serving line along a little faster...!! :D I'll post pics for sure!
