I can't believe it!

I've been watching The Next Iron Chef religiously, so of course I watched the finale tonight. I love Michael Symon, but I was so sure it would be John Besh! I think Symon is a total hottie, but I just love Besh's style. So I'm kinda bummed. It will be fun to see Symon's first few battles though.
And has anyone else who watches it noticed that almost nobody ever battles Cat Cora? Too bad, she's pretty good. I like her Mediterranean style.
So now I'm watching the battle I've wanted to see ever since I heard about it: Rachel Ray and Giada de Laurentis. I know who wins, which again was a HUGE surprise, but I want to see the battle. I am so boring. It's the only reality TV I watch really.

Halloween is over, Thanksgiving can begin!!

My little elf and witch!!




My monkey! aka, my nephew Raedin!




I love being the naughty aunt! And Raedin loves Cheetos!




My bil, Nate, helping Nathaniel make orange and clove Jack-o-lanterns.




My buddy, Raedin, and my brother.


I love this time of year!!! I love the cool but still mostly sunny weather, the leaves, the crisp air, the gorgeous sunsets over the mountains! I love Thanksgiving. I love the idea behind it, the decorations, the food!! I get so sickened when there is Christmas stuff up with the Halloween stuff, and somehow, except for the food, Thanksgiving gets left by the wayside. I do, however, LOVE Christmas. Just not until AFTER Thanksgiving, thank you very much!
Anywho, here are some pictures of our Halloween. I didn't get as many as I would have liked, but I will have some soon (hopefully!) from my sister and brother, so I will post those too. Enjoy!
