This year at Thanksgiving we we fortunate to have Uncle Jon and Aunt Dana come out and Grandpa Switzer. Of course it was frigid Colorado and Dana didn't have the right clothes, but we all managed. Taylor was just enamored with Aunt Dana and couldn't stop talking about she and Kerbey for weeks. The guys attempted to go fly-fishing up at Spinney's Miracle Mile, but then bailed when the temperature in the car read a balmy -4 degrees. They headed over to Dillon and fished later below the DAM, but it was really just a little sight seeing. Dana and I had a little more fun visiting a little boutique here in Colorado Springs.

The highlight of the weekend may just have been our dinner out when Dana almost ate shellfish and we actually got a laugh out of it. It is great when you have a waiter on his A-Game.

In November, we were very fortunate to have a little family photo shoot down at Monument Valley Park. Taylor stole the show despite the fact that last time we tried to get pictures of him it was a knock down, drawn out fight and he won. We were pleased to get everyone on camera together.

Halloween was a great time for visiting the pumpkin patch, making Carmel apples, trick or treating and enjoying Madison's first big Holiday. Taylor of course made her cry (not on purpose). Taylor was a giraffe and Madison was a bunny. However, Mom, later found out that this was a little lamb hat, not a bunny hat. She looked cute nonetheless.
