Thanksgiving 2013

Halloween 2013

Ella picked her own costume for the first time this year! She chose to be a kitty, and boy is she the cutest kitty I ever did see! We were all very excited for Halloween this year as Ella is at such a fun age, but unfortunately, Ella came down with an ear infection and was feeling lousy on Halloween. We knew something was wrong because she had been so ready to trick or treat, but the night of, she only wanted to go to one house and then she sat on the couch looking sad, and she was very quiet which is out of character for her. What a big disappointment! At least she received a little candy and got to wear her kitty costume.

Pumpkin Patch 2013

The Malecutts started fall off right with a trip to the Pumpkin Patch! We went to Uncle Ray's again which is out in the country, just passed Natomas. It's a quaint, friendly place with no admission charge and inexpensive pumpkins, plus a free tractor ride. Last year, Ella wasn't old enough to brave the tractor, but this year she was up for it! She still does not like mazes, however.

10th Anniversary--Maui

Mama C and Daddy were fortunate enough to return to their wedding site for their 10th anniversary!

The highlight of the trip was our first dinner at Mama's. It was the most AMAZING food we have EVER had in our lives. Every bite was out of this world. If I was going to serve God food, this would be it--that's how great it was.

The low point (lowlight?) was missing our Ella. About day 4 or so, mommy really started to ache for her baby. She comes with for now on.

See the broken glass? I did that the night before...
