Mason Light Parade and cookie making

Tonight was Mason's Light Parade and afterward the Greathouses came over and we decorated some cookies.  A fun evening with friends!

Perfect day for Christmas Tree hunting

We went Christmas Tree hunting today and nabbed one!

Happy Thanksgiving

Celebrated Thanksgiving today with the Palmers. Good food and good times, and a Bears win against the Lions for the second Thanksgiving in a row!

A near miss

I have already taken down 4 trees to protect the house as they were dying and could have(and a couple large branches did) fallen on the house. Had a good wind storm today and more branches fell in the front yard, this one stuck straight in and it was taller than Izzy!

Olivia bowls in the Kings/Queens tournament

We found out yesterday that Olivia had been entered into a tournament for today!  She has done it before but we didn't realize she had been registered by the Mason bowling coach. She did ok, both her and her teammate, Tyler, had trouble figuring out the lanes and how to adjust, so they did not make it out of the first round. But we had a good time, learned a couple lessons and had fun cheering some Mason teammates on!

Olivia's Simplicity is famous!

Olivia's tractor showed up on Simplicity's Facebook page the other day.  Since I took the screenshot there have been many fun comments about it pulling such a heavy load. 

Mandy uses her grandma's Simplicity

Today Mandy used her grandma's Simplicity that she used 25 years ago to mow her lawn, but to mulch some leaves for us today. It still does a good job!
