Our Veterans Day.............



Yesterday Dean had off of school for Veterans Day so I decided to see if I'm going to attempt to have the dogs in the Christmas photo this year. I had everyone go outside to do some practice shots to see if the dogs would cooperate. It was pretty hilarious and it actually went better than I expected it. I'm hoping to take Christmas photos this week-end. I think I may just give it a try with Ruby and Pearl. I ended up really liking a few of these.........................




They gave Dale a half a day off yesterday which was really great. This was the first year they did this. His company normally always works on Veteran's Day. He works for an aviation support maintenance company and is in charge of military sales and engineering for Navy and Coast Guard. He is the only retired military employee there. His supervisor came into his office on Monday and said why don't you take half of a day off tomorrow for Veteran's Day. The rest of the office still had to work so I think he felt pretty special:)!
We took the kids out to lunch at our favorite local Italian restaurant and then to see the new Madagascar movie. It was pretty cute, but we all agreed we liked the first one better! It was nice having a week day off and spending a nice family day together with our favorite Veteran!
