Sound asleep in......

 ...the cupboard??

Sophia, where is Lilli?  Oh... she is in the cupboard. (which was closed)

Dyers gone-a-hunting

How cute is Ms. Marion?  She single handedly put together a treasure hunt over thanksgiving break!  It was complete with a map, arrows to follow, trickery, running, string to follow to next clue, driving fast, getting in trouble with neighborhood watchers, kids crying, twisted ankles, jumping and cheering, eating to celebrate, and memories forever!  Thank you Marion dear...you are the treasure!!! Love you!

Beauty all around!

 This is my neighbors, the McPhees tree.  Not all the leaves do this...but can you imagine a WHOLE tree like this?? 

 Some very cute, sweet Beehives and Miamaids at Y.W. in Excellence Night.

(lf to right: Selena Cudney, Summer Rosengren, Ryan Dubinsky, Emma)  I can't wait to see all the wonderful things they do with their lifes.  They each have so much potenial and many more acts of charity to offer the world.

One of their darling, dedicated, sweet, giving leaders, Carrie! Or... Sister O'Conner.  We always called our leaders by their first name when I was growing up, how about you?

Ya gotta love this time of year!!!

This man had me in stitches all night!  "Oh kermee"

 3 witches, 2 ladybugs, and a hippie

 2 rock stars!

The second favorite thing to Ganah after family?  Halloween! 

 Guess who stole the costume show??  love her!

 Ganah, Kjrsten, and Anna threw a fabulous Halloween bash!  There was witch-mole placing, pinata smashing - complete with confetti, and fishing for gifts, and my favorite Carmel apples..yum!  Well done ladies!

 We do this with spiders, she is helpful

 she studies the next frame

 they go on a roller coaster

 play air-hockey

 Next day (actual b-day) breakfast in OUR bed with Dad!

 Lilli reads her card

 Dad "reads" his

 Does it really say that?

"It has a blue stopper thing!!!!!"

 we share part of the day with him

 Booboo asks why she didn't go shopping with him on saturday
