Fun in the Snow

We've had quite a bit of snow the last few months, one of the last snow days we (me and the girls, plus their friend Hannah-Banana) got together with Grandma Nea and made a cute little snowman.






The girls had so much fun making snow angels, making a snowman that was just their size (which they named Frosty:), and then having a hot chocolate tea party with grandma's "breakable" tea set.




I'm not a huge fan of snow, mostly because it's cold and I don't like being cold, but the girls sure love the stuff! Thanks Grandma Nea for the fun!

Thanksgiving at Curlew Lake

Thanksgiving this year was Wonderful! We had such a fun time with Luke's family (Mom & Dad, all siblings, their spouses, and children were able to come:) We rented a house that overlooked Curlew Lake. "The Spirit of Curlew Lake", it was a beautiful house, lots of space for everyone... 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, laundry room, and space for the kids to run around and be crazy:) We were there for 3 nights and 4 days, it was really nice to get away, the girls had such a great time with their cousins!





--Making sugar cookies with the cousins & Auntie Abby, the girls loved this!


--Lucas & Kory playing a little XBOX... the brothers & brother-in-laws made their own little private game room in one of the walk in closets... silly boys!

YUMMY food (totally didn't get a picture of the beautifully cooked, super moist turkey:)

--Cute table decor by my very talented & "Martha Stewartish" sister-in-laws:)



--Enjoying The Feast...

--Cheers! (The girls thought the sparkling cider, and their little goblets were pretty special:)


--It snowed most of the time we were there, the girls were so excited to play in it! Grandpa & Uncle Kory braved the snow with them... they had SNoW much FuN!



Our family is the best! We always enjoy our time with them, good food, good conversation, fun crafts, games, and just being together! It was a GREAT Thanksgiving! Thanks to Luke's sisters for making it extra special for us and the kids!
