Our First Snow

The girls went out real quick before we went to Mom's house and enjoyed our first snow of the year. I don't know if I am ready for the snow to start. The girls can't wait until they can go out and play a while in the snow.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

We had Kent's dad and Kim and his twin brother Kevin and his daughter Colby over tonight for dinner. After dinner we decorated the Christmas tree. The girls had fun playing with Colby. They even got Uncle Kevin to play the Wii with them. It was nice to have everyone here and visiting with Bill and Kim.

Working off Lunch

Uncle Clint and Christy took the girls outside after lunch to work off some of their huge lunch. They had a great time and it was nice to be outside since the weather was nice. Now it's time for a nap!!! Lily fell asleep in the van during the short ride home and Mom and Dave were snoring before we left! Must be all the turkey...

Happy Thanksgiving!

We went to Mom's for lunch today. We had Grandma, Clint and Christy, Mom and David and our family. Lily wore her Thanksgiving hat she made at school. Mom made a huge lunch for all of us. The girls had a great time with Clint and Christy. We hadn't seen them in awhile. Christy is sitting at the kids table with the girls. Happy Thanksgiving!!

A Froggy Day In Linden Town

Abbey had her 2nd Grade play tonight. It was called "A Froggy Day In Linden Town". She really did a nice job. She was a speaker and a dancer. We had no idea she was such an actress. She spoke so clearly. It was really cute. Here she is with her teacher and on stage with her class.

Successful deer season!

I went deer hunting this afternoon at David and Lisa McGhee's farm north of Worth, MO. I went with Lisa and her daughter Courtney's boyfriend, Adam. The deer being held up in the picture is mine, it is a smaller 8 point, Adam's deer is in the foreground and it is a real nice 8 pointer.
The worst part of the whole ordeal was dragging the deer through the bean field and up the terrace levy bank to load in the truck, both deer were a good distance from the terrace levy so we had our work cut out for us, I didn't know how out of shape I am until dragging a couple deer through the fields....glad it is over!!Here is another picture after field dressing. My good friend David McGhee was kind enough to field dress it for me....what great friends we have.

Hot Chocolate

When we got finished setting up the trees outside the girls thought they needed some hot chocolate. We even found the snowflake mugs and plates! It was pretty cold out today!! They wanted pretzels and hot chocolate with marshmallows. Kind of a strange combination! Anyway, they had fun.
