 Where did all these years go? Already 12! Happy Birthday Evan!!! 

6th Grade!!!

Santa and Skiing with the Grandkids!

I took Evan and Madelyn to see Santa at the Barn in their neighborhood.  

Got some great photos!

A donut snack with some coloring 

Cross country skiing after and we some how managed to find ski's to fit both of them. 

Madelyn did great her first time out!

After they came back to our house so Madelyn could play in the snow in the back yard and then Uncle Logan played video game on the switch with them. 

Winter Wonderland/Nov 30th

 Winter has arrived!!! We got around 8" of snow, maybe more? This is the first big total in 2 years. Guess I will have to get out my cross country ski's this year!! I cannot wait for freshly groomed trails. They only do that when we have at least 6 inches! 

Evan 11 and Madelyn 5. 

Happy Thanksgiving

1st Snow! Nov 26th

 The First Snow this winter, Nov 26th. Thankfully, it was just 1 inch, but today is going to be COLD 20's and windy. 

I managed to get the green around the front door with some lights done yesterday when it was still 45*F and lightly raining. I'll add some Christmas reds and other items after T-day. 

Also got some of those star lights and hung them up inside along the patio door. I purchased another set of 5 to go in the front of the house below the stairs. I'd put them everywhere if I could! They are $39 each so this year 2 sets are good enough! 

Happy 30th Birthday Don!!
