2009 Christmas Decorations

After having nice Thanksgiving and Black Friday, it's time to put up our Christmas decorations. We spent the morning/early afternoon putting up lights around the house.

Then we took a break to watch the FSU @ UF game. It was Tim Tebow's final game at the Swamp. UF won 37-10.

In the evening we put up a Christmas tree in the living room and filled it with ornaments.

This year, like many years, I have a lot to be thankful for. I have a great wife. My family is safe and healthy. I have an awesome job/work place. God's given me many things. I am thankful and content.

This weekend, Jessica and I went up to Jacksonville to spend Thanksgiving with her family. We had fried turkey, green beans casserole, mashed potatoes, squash, and oysters stuffings. Very tasty!

We also watched Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, The National Dog Show, and some football. Overall it was very relaxing and enjoyable.

2009 Loop Halloween Party

Steve, Loop's owner, had a party at his house. It was really cool. His brother owns an animatronics company, and helped out. The whole house looked like it could have been a part of Hallo-Scream.

A lot of people showed up in many cool costumes. Jessica and I showed up as a hippy couple. Jessica's was a real hippy dress. Her mom hand sewed the dress back in the 70's. So it's authentic!

2009 Pumpkin Carving Contest

This was our second time at the apartment complex's annual pumpkin carving contest. This year it was on Friday. The turn out was good. A lot of people showed up, and there were many contestants.

Like last year, we found a design on the internet and I free-hand copied it. Jessica added the tooth picks to the eyes. I thought it was a nice touch because we came in second place again, w00t! The prize was two $25 gift cards to Chili's. Not too shabby.

Afterward, I got another pumpkin and carved two logos: Autobots and Decepticons. Took a while, but I think they turned out pretty well.

Howl O Scream 2009

Loop took us out to Howl O Scream 2009 at Busch Gardens for our 500 Dealers mark. We had the group specials where dinner was included, and we get to go into the park about an hour before it opens for general public. We also got a special pass to skip the line up to an hour after they open for general public.

We hit most of the haunted houses first. They were pretty neat, but not as scary as I thought they'd be. We also went on a few roller coaster rides. The lines were quite short.

Pumpkin Carving Contest

October 22, 2008

Jessica and I went to our apartment complex's halloween party on Wednesday. It was a pretty good turn out. Lots of families and kids. They also had a pumpkin carving contest. We entered one (see picture).

We got the design from the internet and free-hand copied it (the eyes and the mouth were a bit off). Who'da thunk we get second place! w00t! The prize was a small basket of candy and a publix gift card. Fun time =)
