Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving day was spent at Grandma and Grandpa Wetherell's house. We ate lots of turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls and dessert. Trent even got to open an early Christmas present. Trent loved the opening part, but was very confused when he couldn't open what he thought was a book about trains! The advent calendar is going to take a little explaining.

After a yummy lunch and presents Trent and his cousins decorated Grandma's famouse sugar Christmas cookies. I think the sprinkles were Trent's favorite part. No need to shake the bottle, just hold and pour until all the sprinkles have completely covered one half of the cookie!

Lots of people wanted to help decorate- Grandma, Daddy, Aunt Nicky, and Grandpa let Trent lick the yellow icing off the plastic knife! - "Just experiencing new things!"

Mommy and Daddy picked up new jammies for Trent when they went Christmas shopping the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Mommy wanted pictures of Trent in his new jammies. Trent wanted Elmo to be a part of the pictures too!

The countdown to Christmas has begun!

Opening Weekend

Dad was feeling a little left out from the Blog, so Trent and and Mom decided they would post a few pictures of Dad from his favorite weekend in November.

Yes, you will see that he enjoys this "sport" and is very proud of his "accomplishments" during the brief weekend. Our freezer is full and "we" (I use that term loosely) are all so excited that Dad can bring a "piece" of his new treasure home with him. Yes, for Christmas Dad is getting the 11 point buck head mounted. It should look smashing hanging in the garage where Mom can see it everytime she pulls into the garage. You have to admit, it's better than hanging in the basement or the living room!

The weekend was beautiful- in the 70's! Dad had fun and Trent and Mom got to spend a lot of time together that weekend.

Halloween

Halloween weekend was anything but boring around the Wetherell home! Halloween was not only a night of trick or treating on Saturday night, but also a Friday night of fun with a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Wetherell.

Grandma and Grandpa stopped by to visit and drop off Trent's Halloween treats (and take us out for dinner)! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! Dinner, the marshmallow ghost peeps, the chocolate, the new books, stickers, and "Cookie" were appreciated very much! As you can see, the candy was by far the biggest hit of the night!



The following day, was filled with typical chaos, as usual! Mom raced down to Champaign in the morning, Dad and Trent played on tractors and rode around town, then we all met up for lunch at McDonald's. We then went to Kyle's football game before crashing for a long afternoon nap before an even LONGER night of trick or treating!




Our little train engineer had a ball trick or treating! Once he figured out that people would give him kit kats if he just carried around a silly orange bag, he was pretty excited! We visited people all over the country side and came home with a pooped 20 month old Engineer and a heaping bag of candy for Mom and Dad to fight over. (Yes, Trent will get SOME of it too!) We even met up with some friends along the way. See Trent and his friend Ryan, the fisherman?

Trick or Treat!
