Thanksgiving Weekend

Having four days off for Thanksgiving was great.  We visitied and spent time with family the entire time.  Thanksgiving we spent the day with John's sister Teresa and her family at Sam & Heidi's home.  We had an excellent meal, did a craft and had our annual family competition, which this year was a game of Pie in the Face.   Mikayla won for the kids and we got our very own Pie in the Face Game.

Friday we went up to Grandpa Billy's house and cut some logs for a church activity I am in charge of, helped him do some things around his yard, visited and the did a little target practice.

Saturday we had Thanksgiving dinner at my Mom's house with my brother and his family and my grandpa.  Sunday we spent the day at church and resting.

It would be so nice if every week was a three day work week and we spent the rest of the week enjoying our families and being thankful for our many blessings....just think how different the world may be????

Weekend Trip to the Cabin

It seems like it's been forever since we have been anywhere. Teresa and Dan offered to let us use the cabin for the weekend so we decided to take them up on their offer.  A nice, quick, weekend trip away after working 6-7 days a week straight for months was needed very much.  We relaxed at the cabin and went for a little drive, picnic and hike.

For mutual this week Mikayla sewed a Maxi Skirt.  She did a good job, it turned out great.
