Veteran's Day

Today our ward had a Veteran's Day Pancake Breakfast. Andrew helped during the flag ceremony. Many of the current military members wore their uniforms and some retired folks their hats or old work shirts. Some of the boy scouts and leaders were in uniform as well. One of our dearest members is Brother Brandt. He's in his mid-nineties and served in WWII and in Korea. He still drives himself to church, has an entire shed set up with model trains, and very positive about life. We had a wonderful early morning!
Here's Aaron eating at the table, Andrew is the scout with his back showing in the picture at the food tables. He's doing his daily good turn by helping one of our young nursery kids with his plate. Bro. Brandt is against the wall in the red sweater and black cane, standing next to our Scout Master.

Halloween

Wow!!!! Halloween was 10 days ago and it already seems like months. Here's a few pics of the kids from our Church Trunk or Treat & Game Night. We took several pictures of the ward, but neglected to get one picture of our own kids all together...so unfortunately glimpses are all that we have! Alyssa manned the color table. As a medieval maiden she helped lots of fairies, bugs, princesses, spidermen, supermen, etc... color fun Halloween pictures.





Audrey helped out with the donuts on strings.
Looks like she's a doughnut loving flapper from the '20's.





Aaron the mummy has part of his costume already off.
He's sneaking up on our two clone troopers (aka, "The Missionaires")













Andrew and I passed out the candy to all the trunk or treaters. Seems like we saw most of them four or five times!

Andrew dressed up with a sword and long black cape with a hood....guess he was trying to be an executioner.
