It was November once...

We are so lucky that Dan's awesome job has a work retreat for all the residents and their families every year. We started the weekend bowling, then enjoyed some amazing food, had fun at the resort pool (indoor), attended Prom Night 2012, and did some other stuff, but it was 5 months ago, so it doesn't immediately come to mind.

Oh my gosh!  How cute is he?!  He still looks just like this, but with a teensy-tiny bit more hair.

Prom Night was the theme of the dinner/dance this year.  Most residents dressed fancy (prom style), but I'm married to Dan, so we went as a nerd couple. :)  It had been a while since either one of shopped at Goodwill, but it was a lot of fun.  Macklemore would be so proud.

There were a few others who were super cool like us (ha!) like Lars who you can see in the white wig below.  He and his wife cross-dressed and their kids wore clown wigs.  Hilarious!

Apple juice and orange juice at once!

The view from our room.

Elena played on an all girls soccer team in the fall and she had a lot of fun. She's currently in ballet at the rec center which is fun and fabulously inexpensive.

Fast forward to Thanksgiving:  Elena and my mom made these awesome turkeys and place cards.

Playing in the leaves!

The day after Thanksgiving it was time to set up the trees.  The pink one was relocated to Elena's room once it was decorated.  The green one is our main tree - the same one I bought at a drug store for $20 our first Christmas.  Someday I'll buy a big, prelit tree that doesn't need each branch individually placed.  I think I say that every year.
