Grandpa broke out the skid and made this awesome sledding hill in his front yard. The kids were having so much fun, we had to drag them into the house from below-zero temperatures. Crazy!
Our neighbors brought us this chocolate-filled advent calendar on December 1 to count down the 24 days before Christmas. I figured we'd divide 24 by 3, so that each child would get a chocolate every three days. Well, this is how I found it today, December 3, after Nathan snuck upstairs with it. Fifteen chocolates missing. I guess I will be buying two more so everyone can have his/her own calendar and count down the days at his/her own pace!
We certainly have a great deal to be thankful for this year. We had so much fun with Grammie, Poppa, Grandma Yancey, Eric, Angela, Jeff, Heidi, and Maylee on Thanksgiving. The girls thought it would be fun to have everyone dress up for the dinner, and although there was a little grumbling (I won't say who from), I think in the end everyone really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, but the best part by far was being with loved ones. Thanks, everyone, for making the trip to be with us!
