Hockey with the Boys

 My mom took Cubby and Christian to a Lancer's hockey game.  Harvey was supposed to go too, but got sick and so Christian got to invite Sullivan along.  They had a great time and those horns?  Not.loud.at.all.

Happy 11th, Emily!

My big girl turned ELEVEN!  Eleven, people.  That was how old I was when my family moved to Nebraska!  So crazy that Emily is now that age.

We had family over for cake and presents and to celebrate all things Emily.  I love putting out pictures and books of my children throughout the years and, since Emily is the oldest, she has the most printed out pictures!

And....let the gift opening commence!

Candles and cake time...

{Sigh}--Where have the years gone?  The first five years seemed to go soooo slowly, but the last six?  Zoom.  I sure do love my sweet big girl.

Turkey Day

We had a great Thanksgiving!  It all started bright and early when Cubby and Christian went off to the annual Turkey Bowl in the freezing rain.  Yup.  Nothing holds these boys back.  And more power to them.  I stayed home with the girls and we were warm and dry.

Here are the highlights from our morning....

The girls all made darling turkey hats!

Britta went a little crazy with her yogurt.

Kari helped me make the rolls!  Yummmm....

We all went over to dinner at my mom's house.

Games and books in the family room...

We had a big nerf war in the basement!

Kari opted to color rather than join in the war

Emily and Lindi are all set for the battle!

Sideways headers!

Story time with Grandpa Harvey

Hugs all around!  (My cousin, Ingrid, was in town visiting from France!  So nice to see her and hear about all of her exciting adventures!)
