The Polar Express

Our Trip to the North Pole!!

Oh Christmas Tree!!

The day after Thanksgiving officially kicked off the Christmas season at the Skidmore house. We continued our tradition of decorating for Christmas the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Darren was into it for a few minutes this year....

but as usual the Great Carmen had to do the bulk of the work.....

What was my contribution well I was the designated motivator and Historical Documentor. Sounds important and trust me it was. After nearly half a day of hanging and taping, and sticking our house was definitly in the festive spirit.

The train is a new addition this year

of course the crowning achievement is the TREE!!

In the end we were feeling the Christmas spirit not only in our house but in our hearts as well. Aaaaah, that was poetry.

Halloween 2007

This Halloween was fun because it was the first year all of us really dressed up. Darren at first wanted to be Po from the Teletubbies but thankfully he decided to be Mr. Incredible.

He of course looked awesome. We were a little nervous that he was going to be excited at first and then when Halloween came he was going to decide not to wear it like Rocket from The Little Einstein last Halloween.

He didn't disapoint as you can see. He really got into it and enjoyed wearing his Mr. Incredible costume for several days straight. Even wearing the mask as you can see every now and then.

Carmen also lead the way by getting excited about being a pirate this year. That in turn got me excited to play along also.

We all went as a family to Truck n' Treat.
