Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving and want to say thanks to all the family that came to visit.  

Everyone arrived on Wednesday afternoon, Sydney and Kaden had been counting down the days and couldn't contain their excitement when everyone arrived.  Wednesday night we took all the kids swimming at Grandma and Granddads hotel. Then on Thursday morning all of the men and boys went pheasant hunting, but sadly were unsuccessful.  Grandma also brought projects to keep all the kids entertained until dinner time. They made pinecone bird feeders, chalk place card settings for everyone and she taught them how to weave yarn animals.    

Then of course on Thanksgiving we had a great dinner followed by plenty of pie and ice cream.  

Friday morning Kiley and McKade attempted another Pheasant hunt, after they returned we loaded everyone up and headed out to cut down three Christmas trees.   

Snowman

This weekend we built our first Snowman of the winter,  the snow was really dry so of course it didn't stick together very well,  so we did the best that we could.    Afterwards it was used for a snowball fight.

I am sure there will be many more snow storms to come.

Happy Halloween

We hope everyone had a great halloween.  Saturday we carved our pumpkins, then on Monday we hit the Main street trick or treating and some of our neighbors.  Kaden was just as excited for the ones that knocked on our door.  They whole time we were out and about he kept asking who was going to answer the door for them.   

I would have to say Halloween was everything they had hoped it would be.
