Alley & Kyle’s Adventures in . . .

We installed a new double oven in our kitchen!  We have ordered new countertops, and we have a new stove top to install when the countertops are put in.  When all of that is done, I will post before and after pictures of our kitchen remodel.

We had a White Thanksgiving here.  We have had the strangest weather this year.  Our annual precipitation has more than doubled this year - and that was by June!  We had a White Easter and now a White Thanksgiving!  We are really enjoying watching all of the Texans freak out in this weather.  They don’t know how to handle it!

I got all of my Christmas decorations up about two weeks ago, but I thought that I would share a little.

Then, I tortured the dog a little.  Actually, Rocky was really good in the antlers.  He didn’t seem to mind that much.

I’m not sure what Rocky is watching here, but he looked so cute doing it.  I think that he is waiting for Santa to come.  Or he is just watching the snow come down.  Or he is just watching.

As always, click on the picture to see a bigger view of it.

Kyle’s company had a family Halloween party, and Kyle and I dressed up for it. The kids came in their costumes and “Trick-or-Treat-ed” to each office.

I was a "Modern" Witch with a Swiffer to fly on.

And, Kyle was "Charlie Brown."

Last weekend, we went to Cloudcroft, New Mexico, to do a little hiking in the Lincoln National Forest.  This was Rocky’s first hiking trip, and he did really well.  Here are some pics at the beginning of a hike and right after a hike.  Can you guess which one is before and after?
