Thanksgiving Travelers

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Hastings and the Albertson's traveled from all over the United States to be part of the fun. Dad and Donal drove from New Mexico, taking the extra long and scenic route. Luke and Alex flew into Lincoln from Alabama and Sarah and Chris drove the 6 1/2 hours with their 2 kids. We had so much fun being together and not doing much of anything.








Thanksgiving Day, Cathy generously did ALL the cooking and had the meal prepared and waiting at her house!

A decade of a daughter

Saylor turned 10 on November 22, she has turned into a young lady! She requested a dinner of pancakes and bacon and Matt worked very hard on a special ice cream cake with the wonder woman symbol on top. She had her party the previous weekend with a few friends, the pink skull cake, so the night of her birthday was much quieter.

Pre- Halloween Fall Vacation

We went to Arizona to visit Matt's grandmother, Nonnie over fall break. It was a lot of fun and Nonnie had planned for us to be very busy and perfectly planned each day. The first day we went to the zoo and be grateful I am sparing you ALL of the animal pictures Tagg took. All of us were completely taken by a baby monkey and his mother, it was so incredible to watch their interaction and play. We finally convinced Nonnie to use a wheelchair despite Nonnie's arguments that she could walk, she would have been fine without it.




These are pictures from our day in the desert, driving the Tonto Trail and seeing Cliff Dwellings. The Scenery was spectacular and we loved seeing all the cactus.

Halloween

We had a little pre-trick or treating gathering this year. It was tempered down with Halloween being on a Sunday and school the following morning but we all had a great time. Saylor was a project runway designer, thankfully Uncle Chris made her an iron on shirt decal to "complete her look" and Tagg was Batman. The kids had a budget for the costumes and while Saylor was determined to spend as little as possible and keep the remaining cash, Tagg took his money and bought a video game. He then went to Goodwill and found the perfect costume for almost nothing, talk about luck.
