So these pictures are in the wrong order but who cares???


This is Rachel after trick-or-treating. She didn't want her picture taken AGAIN, and she was busy eating candy. But I think that this is a lovely picture.

Sam REALLY didin't want his picture taken whilre he was eating the magical thing called a sucker. He kept running away and hiding.

The most beautiful princess ever.

Look, a purple dragon! With feet and a tail and wings and claws. Perfect for chasing beautiful princesses. 

Thanksgiving, Christmas and other housekeeping details

Sarah has FINALLY gotten her act together and chosen a date for our family delayed-thanksgiving celebration (see my last posting to figure out why.) We'll be getting together on Saturday, November 18th. I already bought a turkey; if you don't come you won't get any.

We did the gift draw for Christmas at Sunday dinner. Here are the results.
Damn, where's the list? Oh, here it is.

John Konkal gives a gift to Robert
Andrew gives a gift to John Konkal
Jonathon gives a gift to Andrew
Robert gives a gift to Jonathon

Matthew, we left you out because, well, you're not here and postage is beyond hellishly expensive.

Now for the girls.
Faustina gives a gift to Amanda
Sarah gives a gift to Faustina
Amanda gives a gift to Sarah

All the kids can pool their money and buy a group gift for Mom and Dad. We'll try to think of something good - an expresso machine would be good, but yes, I know too expensive.

I'll let everyone know as soon as I can about Christmas at Lac Echo.
