We have been having a lot of fun with grandma and grandpa here! We went for a bike ride and walk at Panther Creek State Park. As we were heading to the car at the end a deer ran right in front of Olive who was riding her bike. That was something you don't see every day. I have seen them run in front of a car (even seen one up really close...ahem...) but in front of a little girl on her bike! Pretty cool!

The fifth annual Pumpkin carving party with all of our Japanese friends was a success. We always have fun carving and eating and enjoying each other. It was a first and a last time. First time for Mrs. Kawasaki to ever carve a pumpkin and a last time for the Ebina's to be there. They are going home to Japan the first of the year.

The ward Trunk or Treat and chili cookoff was a success. Even though it rained, we went from classroom door to classroom door and everyone still ended up with full treat bags. The kids just keep going until all of the candy is gone. This year, Aspen made costumes for her and Olive. She was so proud of herself and she did a great job. Maybe I have a designer on my hands!
