December 2022

We wrapped up 2022 with much anticipation and celebration of Jesus' birth. The girls made Ninjabread men to bring to the Graham Family Christmas. We enjoyed special cousin time!

We visited Oma in her new Memory Care facility.

And I got to twin with my mom! The cousins were treated to matching jammies of course.

We missed Kenzie girl, as she had to stay home with strep. 

We were treated to not one but two separate snow days and two late starts in December! One of which was the perfect day to decorate sugar cookies. We found lots of time to sled as well!

We spent a fun day up North celebrating Christmas with Grandma A and Auntie Kara.

And then hunkered in to get ready for Christmas. 

We had a blessed Christmas Eve at church, and a quiet Christmas day at home remembering what our day was really about.

Merry Christmas!

November 2022

Hadley turned 16 this month and got her driver's license! Grandma and I took her for an overnight shopping excursion to celebrate.

Her friends came over for a little birthday surprise.

Piper and I got a little Christmas shopping started.

We celebrated Thanksgiving with the cutest little Andersons: Zeke & Brett.

Then we celebrated with Grandma & Glenn.

An uneventful hunting week, but a successful Christmas tree hunt!

Auntie Bev came over to help us trim our tree!

We were blessed this month with the opportunity to purchase an adjoining parcel of land at the back of our property! More land to explore, hunt, and hike together ❤️ 

Sweet 16

 

Happy, happy 16th birthday sweet Hadley!! You have turned up the happiness factor in our family since the day you were born. We sure love you❤

October 2022

It was another beautiful fall month living out on our land! Such a treat to see the hills and valleys with so much color.

I had the privilege of helping move Oma into Memory care.

Lots of hunting going on!

Piper's BB crew had a fun team dinner at our house before the season kicked off.

And Bryndel dressed up as Pippi Longstocking for Halloween.

September 2022

The girls are back at school and we are enjoying all of the busyness!

10th, 8th, and 4th grade!

We spent part of Labor Day weekend enjoying Hayward, WI.

Kyle and the girls have been prepping for hunting season.

Hadley's been playing lots of JV volleyball.

Piper (and her friend Makkie) has been enjoying her tennis season.

Kyle & Kraig spent 10 days on the hunt for elk out in CO. 

No luck, but they had fun.

Meanwhile, we were busy emptying the garden for the season, and enjoying the busyness of Homecoming weekend.

August 2022

August was full of weddings, birthdays, and our anniversary! We were blessed with a whole Anderson weekend celebrating Hadyen & Alicia's wedding at the Grainary.

We celebrated 21 years!

And then we were blessed with a whole Graham weekend celebrating my cousin Jon & Alexa's wedding!

Now we are off to a new school year!
