Non election day post

November is a busy month for us. We hit it hard the night before with Halloween and then enter the new month in grand style with a birthday party. Rory's birthday! Our boy entered the world on November 1, 2005.
We get to rest for two days and then on the fourth is our wedding anniversary. J and I were married on November 4, 2003. That day was our dating anniversary and we wanted to keep it. We have been together for 10 years.
Onto the 12th when we celebrate J's birthday. He isn't really one for celebrating but he married me so he is out of luck. J does not like cake so we usually get him a cheesecake or an ice cream cake.
Thanksgiving rounds out the month sprinkled with Christmas shopping all done BEFORE turkey day. I refuse to do any shopping after that date. People ruin my Christmas spirit if I try to compete for parking and presents with the general public.

Here is Rory on his first Halloween. The ears were the only costume he would allow us to put on him for any period of time.

And this is from 2008! My baby boy is getting to big. Still won't do the traditional costume. He wore a black T-Shirt with a glow in the dark jack o lantern on the front. He insisted the ears come off before we left the house.
Lorelei got to try them on too. She was a little unsure of what was on her head and would have preferred it in her mouth.
This is how Lorelei and I got around for trick or treating. She couldn't eat any of the candy but her Daddy told me she was gathering it for her parents. Isn't she thoughtful for such a little girl?
Happy Birthday to Rory!
The cake earned a thumbs up. It was given the big boy seal of approval.
Lorelei was eager to get at it herself! She got a little icing but that was all Mommy would let her sample.
