Our Piano Player

EARLY MORNING WALK

Last Friday Kathie, Bonnie and I decided to go for a walk on the Eagle River (Kathie's idea).  I was a little apprehensive once we got on it, but the ice was VERY thick and we didn't have a problem at all.  It was cold, but I dressed for it and was actually really warm.  It was so beautiful!

Christmas Tradition

Any of you that know me know that I am not fond of decorating "food" items!  Joshua asked me a few weeks ago if we were going to decorate our Gingerbread house this year.  I thought maybe I could forgo this tradition, but after that I had to go buy one.  We had to do some prodding to get Nathan to help, but they had fun, and it turned out cute!

Thanksgiving

As you can see we had a very YUMMY Thanksgiving.  We got together with 3 other families and had a lot of fun.  We had plenty of food and LOTS of pies!

ACES

Joshua hung out with Spencer last night at the ACES Hockey game. 

Halloween

Joshua got to go Trick or Treating with his friends on Halloween.  Jared was so great and took them all out for about 2 hours.  It was cold, but at least it wasn't snowing.  Joshua dressed up as a cowboy riding an ostrich.  He was so happy!  The night before the inflater fan broke and he was devastated....to tears.  I decided that I would just stuff it with newspaper.  This actually worked great....a little too great!  With all the extra insulation he got really hot and the costume came off half way through the night, and he became just a cowboy!  The all had fun and went home with TONS of handy.  Braxton weighed his and it was 6 lbs.  Now we have to detox!
