Thanksgiving with the Recob's

We celebrated thanksgiving with the Recob's on Saturday. It was so nice to see and visit with everyone. We ate turkey, wild rice, mashed potatoes, green bean caserole, rolls, and mostaccoli. With 8 kids and 7 adults things are a bit rambunctious. Despite all that was going on, we were able to sit down and play a game later in the day. The kids all entertained each other which was nice. We enjoyed some home-made pie (pumpkin, pecan and chocolate pudding - a favorite among the kids) and even enjoyed some cranberry wine! I just love the holidays, it's nice to get together with family to enjoy good food and good conversation.

Thanksgiving with the Miller's

Everyone had a good time in Omro this Thanksgiving. The weather was beautiful and we were able to have fun both inside and out. We visited, ate a late lunch (which was wonderful), played spud outside with the kids, played some 31 with the adults, ate delicious pie (made by Casey and I) and visited a bit more. The kids were tuckered out on the way home and crashed in the van before I headed out for some crazy black Friday shopping.

First Tooth Lost

Logan lost his first tooth this morning at approximately 5:30 am. He was so excited he jumped in bed with me and couldn't wait to show off his new smile. He has waited 7 1/2 years to lose this tooth and is one of the last kids in his second grade class to lose one. It's been a long wait, but he is oh so excited for a visit from the tooth fairy! What an exciting day!

Lego Crane

Logan spends hours making wonderful Lego creations. This is just one of them. It's been remade several times but he created himself...no kit, no directions, just pure imagination.
