Christmas 2016

We had another wonderful Christmas in Iowa!  My parents, Steve and Lynn, came in from Las Vegas to spend the weekend with us and we had a great time.  My Mom came in on Thursday night, then we spent all of Friday completing lady duties like grocery shopping, going to Costco, and getting a manicure and pedicure!  My Dad arrived on Friday night, then we enjoyed a nice meal at Bonefish Grill.  Christmas Eve was a fabulous day and night with good food, movies, games, and opening presents.  Christmas morning we watched the kids open their gifts from Santa and then had a yummy brunch before unwrapping the last of our gifts to each other.  Aside from a jaunt to the ER to confirm the health of my Pops, we had a fun and relaxing weekend.  No worries, my Dad will be okay--thank God!!  He had a diverticulitis attack :(   Oh, and we can't forget going to the movies to see Sing!!  Great movie!

Drake's 11th Birthday!

We had a great day with Drake on his birthday!  We started out with a yummy pizza dinner from Topper's, then had a cake that Drake made all by himself...it was sooooo good!!  We also bowled, played board games, and opened presents.

Thanksgiving in Minocqua

It was another nice trip up North to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving!  Not only did we have amazing food, but we played in the snow, the boys went hunting, we played lots of games, snuggled with Toby, and went on our annual trip to see Santa at Ace Hardware. 

     

     











     

Fall Fun!

Happy Halloween!

Introducing Little Red Riding Hood and a Birthday Cake!  (yes, I know it's December :0).  The girls costumes were a big hit and SO cute.  The weather was great, as was going door-to-door with our good friends and neighbors.  It was a fun night!

Kirsten's 7th Birthday... a Slumber Party!!

Kirsten's birthday is on November 9th, however, this is the first chance I've had to create and post this slideshow.  We've been pretty busy around here!

For Kirsten's 7th birthday, she got her ears pierced!  She was so excited and even had a countdown :) Plus, she had a Slumber Party with 8 girls!!!   It was a lot of work, but totally worth it.  Gordon helped out so much and both girls were very appreciative.  :)
