The Stevenson Story

Thanksgiving was so great this year!  Since I am one month away from having this baby we opted not to travel to family this holiday, but my awesome sister Becca came up for a wedding and stayed with us the rest of the week!  Here are a few of the things we did.  I told Jack on Thanksgiving day he could stay in his pajamas until right before we had to leave for Thanksgiving dinner, so here he is doing a puzzle midday in his pj's.  Taking a quick nap BEFORE eating the turkey.  I love sleeping kids, yes that's you too Becca!  Finishing the Thanksgiving food prep.  Eric's friend Matt grew up in Eric's ward and was a close family friend.  They recently moved to Vancouver, and we have done a few things together since then.  They are so great and it really feels like family when we get together!  The delicious food!  I love this bathroom shot of me, Becca and Avey  The kids table. ...

Our first Halloween event was at the children's museum for their Halloween day.  There were so many awesome halloween projects that I didn't have to clean up after and I pretty much got mom of the year for taking my kids.  Thanks Justine for telling me about it and then going with us! Jack giving his scary face in the "world's smallest haunted house" (A cardboard box with flashlights and paper bats and pillows inside it.) A projector set up with shadow halloween puppets you could play with.  Justine and her cute twin girls are to the left of Jack and Avey.                                      The halloween bubble lab was amazing with all the lights off except a black light and glow in the dark bubbles, a color changing potion station, magic goo drizzling out of a pot that also glowed, and lots of other cool art glow in the dark activities.    ...
