Happy Father's Day

Like any good holiday we were booked to the gills with places to be...I was a part of drama at church for the first two morning services. I managed to sneek over to Heritage to get Greg a gigantic cinamon roll which he requested for breakfast. We then headed over to his parents to wish his papa a happy father's day...how did I manage not to get a picture of him?? That was cut short by having to be back at church. We quickly stopped at my folks to give dad a hug & kiss (we celebrated with him on sat) Greg had to run sound and I was on praise team. Halogen had a bbq afterwards so that's where we had dinner. Came back home and literally crashed into bed. I'm not sure how relaxing Father's day was for Greg but he gets to really celebrate it next week mon - a full day of golf - kid free.

Halogen Thanksgiving

This year the Sun. after thanksgiving our church Halogen decided to do a different kind of service. We decided to have an all church Thanksgiving dinner, which was really fun to sample everyone's different side dishes, and share what we were thankful for. It also happened to be the first Sun. of Advent and Izzy (our pastor) asked Greg and I to do the advent reading on HOPE. I love the fact our church is such a tight community, it truly feels like family.

Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving was spent at Greg's sister's home in Menifee. We enjoyed relaxing the entire day at their home indulging in good food and family time. Denise, Greg's sister, had us each go around the table and say what we were thankful for each person. While it took a bit o' time, it was very worthwhile...it was a day that will not be soon forgotten.

Happy Halloween!

Holiday Theme Winner

My parents have been decorating the outside of their house since I can remember and have won various awards for their decorations. This year they won the "Best Theme" award...you can see why. My father made all of the signs, he's so talented...I can't tell you how many people stop to take pictures of their home and ask where they bought the signs. Maybe some day I'll coerce him into making us some...one can hope ;-)

This year Greg and I had two amazing thanksgiving meals...on Monday we celebrated at my sister's home up in Fresno along with her family. We woke up early and started cooking at 8 am. There were so many wonderful sides and her turkey was scruptous...finished up with homemade pumpkin pie. It's not a wonder why we look forward to this day every year. What a feast!
