Christmas Tree "Farm" and Turkey Day

We made turkeys on Thanksgiving Eve. We used chocolate muffins with a nutter butter cookie with fruit roll ups for tail feathers. The girls loved it! They were tasty too, as Lindsay says.



This picture is of the girls at the tree farm. The Wal-mart tree farm, that is. We decided that since the trees were shipped in from Michigan and were cut for more than a month by the time you purchase them, we would get a fake tree. Also, Lindsay dressed herself. Do you like the black dress shoes with her tank and shorts??? It has been in the mid 70's all week until yesterday. The temp dropped to the high 30's. We have a great video of the girls and the tree, but we can't seem to load it right now.

A little catching up to do.

Well, It's been a while since we've posted, so we've got some catching up to do. We've had a busy couple of weeks!


We made caramel apples

We got to eat caramel apples!

We were visited by dancing princesses on Halloween ( I couldn't convince them to be anything else)

We decorated for fall, some of which got a little out of hand.

We had a visit from Grammie Donna and Papa Jim and showered them with gifts as they entered the door.


Lindsay taught Papa how to put elbow pads on.


Lindsay and Papa read the hardest book in the whole wide world (a title given to the book by Papa Jim).

And finally, we celebrated Thanksgiving a little early!

We had a great visit with mom and dad but it was very sad to see them go. I don't know if anyone had a dry eye as they left. It was really heartbreaking for Lance and I to try to console an inconsolable 4 year old.
