Halloween, and Thanksgiving! (And some news)

 Halloween:  We ate a delicious supper of chicken noodle soup in a bread bowl at Adrienne's house, and then came home to chill and give out candy.  We had quite a few trick or treators, but of course, these were our favorites:

Dojin discovered that he likes chocolate--a lot!

Ruby as Minnie Mouse (wasn't she princess Sophia just last week?)

Hyeji, Dojin, Doyeon and Yuna

Adrienne, Caitlyn, Nan, and I went to Charlotte's on Monday and enjoyed a delicious Witches Tea.  Christine met us there.  I didn't take any pictures, but the food was delicious, as usual, and dad and I enjoyed a home-made caramel apple later that Char had made as a party favor. She goes all out.

Saturday night we took Caitlyn and went to see Peter Christensen in his play, "And then there were None."  Peter did a good job, he was probably the best actor in the play.  I saw a couple of High School Friends there--Janine Simons Craeger (taking tickets and otherwise helping out) and Ken Hadlock (acting).  He was in my ward growing up, as well as a classmate.  We were also able to meet Jacob's fiance, Brianna.

Sunday evening we had Thanksgiving dinner for our family since we will be spending Thanksgiving this year with Andy, Elise, Max, Mav and the new baby.  Speaking of Mav, we received a cute picture via text this morning.

Sunday night we celebrated Thanksgiving with the whole family (except Elise and Andy).  We also invited a Korean family.  I met Heeyoung ice skating.  She and her family are here from Korea for a year.  Her husband is on research sabbatical.  I don't think they know many people as it is a little bit difficult to communicate with them.  Heeyoung does fairly well, but her husband Jun doesn't seem to know much English at all.  I was a little worried they'd be overwhelmed at the commotion, but she told me "I'm just so happy."  It was fun to have them.

I don't think Adrienne will mind me sharing her news (since most everyone reading this newsletter already knows.  She's expecting a girl sometime in April!!! We're so excited.
(We acted happy, but the Green's acted ecstatic.  I need to learn to show my excitement more).
