Christmas Tree Day

It was Christmas tree day at our house!! Kyle carefully cut down 4 homegrown trees from the land this past week, and today was decoration day!

Bryndel got her own tree for the first time! She could not have been more pleased.

She did need a little help from her sisters to get the ornaments on more than just the bottom three boughs, hehe.

It was Hadley's year to top our big tree with the star. I wonder how Kyle will lift her three years from now when it's her turn again? We finished out the wonderful day with a cup of hot chocolate. Ahhh, welcome Christmas season!

Thanksgiving 2015

We had a lovely Thanksgiving up north with the Andersons! Full of hugs, good food, and lots of thankfulness.

Hadley was highly entertained by Kim's dog, Addie.

We finished out the visit with a some girl shopping! Looking anxiously ahead to celebrating Christmas together soon!

Fun Week

It was a super fun and busy week around here! Piper had her first ever basketball practice, and I think her smile says it all! (Hadley also started practice again this past week.)

We celebrated Hadley's 9th birthday with a Harry Potter cake.

And then Grandma & Grandpa came for hunting weekend!

We got in lots of reading & crafting.

Hadley got her ears pierced for her birthday too!

Both Hadley & Piper (that's Piper walking in the orange) got to spend some special time with Grandpa in the deer stand as well. It was a great week and weekend!

Nine Years Old!

Our sweet and happy Hadley girl is NINE years old today!  Wow!  We are ever so blessed by her quick laugh, her happy attitude, and the creativity she brings to our family.  Happy Birthday, sweet Hadley!

Thanks to my talented sister in law, Jill, for these beautiful summer photos.

Mid November?

Hard to believe it is the middle of November with this beautiful weather! We actually spent time at the beach today! No swimming of course, but lots of beach combing and picnicking. Yard clean up in the afternoon, followed by dinner outside by a bonfire. Blessed!

Halloween 2015

Halloween should be on the weekend every year!   

Hadley chose Hermoine Granger from the Harry Potter series.

Piper chose Olaf from Frozen.

And Bryndel, bless her heart, wanted to be the owl three years running!!!

And the Halloween weekend would not be complete without the buck hunter's birthday!  Happy 39, Kyle!
