Great Family & Friends

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and remembered to count their blessings, big or small! We had a busy few days. On Thanksgiving day, Clint, Brittany, Rory, Evan, Dakota and a family friend, Nick Becker, was at our house for dinner. Everyone ate too much and then had a lazy afternoon watching a movie.

On Saturday Bud, Kim, Mike, Payton, Kyle, Travis, Kerry & Chance came to cut up wood. A few friends of ours, Chad, Junior and Ben were also here to help. Clint and Chad had marked trees a week ago, so they knew ahead of time which trees to cut down. They all started very early and quit when it got dark. Tasha, Kim, Kerry & I made plenty of food to keep the guys full. It was a long day and alot of hard work was done. Dale even managed to drive the tractor some in the morning. No one was injured, but there are alot of sore muscles today from all the hard work. We are guessing that the wood pile could possibly last us until February.

We have alot to be thankful for this thanksgiving and after the year 2010, we know what great family and friends that we have.

Love
Kath & Dale

Chance

You know I couldn't let a little thing like a black eye get in the way when I wanted to take pictures. Besides, I have a feeling this is what things are going to look like around our house for quite some time to come!

Now before you start thinking everything we do is sports related, he did get a book out to read! His farm book, of course.

He is growing up so fast, but we are enjoying every minute of it.

Grandma Bev and Great-Grandchildren

We had most of the great grandchildren at our house Saturday. (We were missing Kadelynn and Chance.) This was the best picture I could get. Hopefully someone else has better ones.

Trick or Treating

Here are Mario and Luigi aka Nate and Cael trick or treating at Nana and Grandpa's. We had gone to a Halloween parade and kids party earlier in the day and they took first place in the costume contest!! They were totally cute!! And we put the costumes together ourselves! Not a whole lot of money spent! That is the best way to do it.

Of course here is Payton! He of course had to pick something scary!! He loves to completely scare anyone he can and laughs his butt off about it!! He borrowed this costume from my nephew. The first year my nephew wore it Cael was about Nate's age. Cael took one look at him and slammed the door in his face and ran to me screaming!!!!

We didn't end up trick or treating last night. Payton and Cael had trick or treated Friday night on the square in Williamsburg and made a haul. And between Grandma Shirley and Nana, they made an even bigger haul!! We have plenty of candy to last for a while!!
