Happy Turkey Day!

Just wanted to tell everyone Happy Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving; it's at least a tie with Christmas for my favorite. We get to spend it with some good friends here. I'm just finishing up making some of the food and in a few hours we will get to feast :)

snorkel fun

We went snorkeling for our Anniversary back in August (and yes, I'm just now getting to posting these pictures). We went down to Key Largo to the coral reefs. It was amazing, unlike anything I'd ever experienced. Great job Mike for coming up with the idea and surprising me!

Getting ready to get on the boat.
Don't we look great?!

This is me trying to figure out how to use the mask and snorkel. I had a pretty hard time and swallowed a ton of saltwater. Blegh!
The coral reefs were so pretty. It was amazing to see so much life in the ocean.
We actually did get someone to take a picture of us under the water.
Some of the fish that were swimming around us
I'm not sure what the story behind this is, but there is a statue of Christ at the bottom of the ocean, so we swam over and were able to see it
Mike had a great time! :)
Here he is swimming toward me. I think it's so cool how you can see the ripples of the water, but we're taking the picture from underneath them.

Our little Anabear

Here's the little bear costume I made for Anabelle's Halloween costume. It was quite the project. I made everything except for the slippers (which were the inspiration).

Isn't she the cutest little bear ever!

She was pretty entertained by the slippers

She only wore the costume into Mike's work so we could show everyone and to our ward trunk-or-treat. It was quite the hit, especially when we can get her to growl, too.
