Happy Thanksgiving!

 I went go-karting with some friends last week and had lots of fun

I shared a picture of Henry wearing this sweater last week but this is a better picture

Last Sunday after church we saw these three moose across the street

They were actually on Lyza's teacher's front yard. Hi Ms. Reed!

Nixon got to practice with his camera

Quit licking yourself!

Lyza and Nixon have been doing extra chores trying to earn money to buy Christmas presents

The next day we saw 6 moose!

Knowing that there are two mothers, each with two babies, explains why we have seen so many moose this year and why sometimes the babies seem bigger than other times

One of the babies got tangled in Christmas lights

Put that on a Christmas card

On Thanksgiving morning Kim got up early and ran and then after read some books with Henry

We prepared a mighty feast

The sunset was really pretty especially with the visible moon

This is Wes, one of the other attorneys at my office

We had his family over for dinner

Henry loved his dessert

The next morning we had another moose sighting right across the street

Look at that tongue!

If you have ever wondered what it is like to watch the moose, you are in luck! I like watching the mom eat the apples off the tree

That same day we got the Christmas decorations out and Henry immediately fell for Santa

Nixon looks so cute in these elf pajamas

We got the tree all set up

And lit

So cute

Can you tell Mason dressed himself?

We had fun listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas music videos

And setting up the stockings

Portraits with Christmas lights in the background are magical

Mason found my favorite sweater

And we got all the ornaments on the tree

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We read about the elf on the shelf

And that night we watched some Christmas cartoons

More Christmas books the next day

On Saturday we all went to watch the bald eagles

And do some climbing

There were lots out

It was really sunny and while the sun was out we didn't see much action on the lake. When the sun went behind the clouds the eagles got more active and started fishing

We had fun together

After that Kim and the kids played some games and Mason destroyed them at memory

Take care!
