Thanksgiving

It is wonderful to be with family during Thanksgiving. The Saturday before Thanksgiving we went to visit Jackie and Riley's beautiful new home. Judah and Hudson are looking like brothers.
Now, back at our house Luke and Boden have matching chrome books and are putting them to good use.

 Here is my mom less than 48 hours after she got out of the hospital. We are glad she could be with us. I set the table with cloth napkins from London that my mom bought me when she was there on her last trip.
 Hope's first Thanksgiving.
 We hosted 22 people for Thanksgiving this year. We were not able to have flag football because of the rain.
 Here are all the big kids playing with Hudson's Lego's making a masterpiece.
 Papa will be 73 and Hudson will be 3 in a few days.

 Tricia teaching gymnastics.

 Now we are in Watertown celebrating with Dave's family (21 people). Here is Hudson helping Grandma cut the pies. We also enjoyed Friday all together. We went swimming at the YMCA, watched Star Wars, and then had pizza while the kids played at our house. The girls did three dance routines. The older boys perfected their digital bowling. The younger boys enjoyed all of the activity. Sorry there are not any pictures from Friday.

A Spooktacular Halloween

Eva and Luke each carved their own pumpkin. Eva named hers Mcallie and Luke named his Octo.
Every year we get "booed" and candy ends up on our door step. We also "booed" the neighbors and we gave pumpkin chocolate chip bars. Luke planned the strategy for each house so they could ring the door bell and get away quickly.




 Here are my favorite trick or treaters... Elise and Eva, Tyler and Brady and then Luke and Matteo.


Love my ninja, dog, and Belle.




Cosy Nook

Wisconsin certainly is beautiful in fall. The kids loving going to Cosy Nook every year to get their pumpkins. I love watching them play on the farm.
