Thanksgiving

Mike took Mase to his first train show just before Thanksgiving. Both boys were appropriately worn out upon their return.

I wonder what these three are cooking up.....

A long over due haircut happened and it's nearly time again!

Stories to tell!

Brooklyn is always the most popular girl with our two

We have a Girl Scout!

Here's something that never  always happens...Mase gets a goose egg.

One busy fall day

 The kids and I made the most of Mackenzie's Thanksgiving break , filling the first day of vacation up to the tippy top.

Making cookies!

Team work mixing

Waiting is hard

Ellie is never far to help clean up any spills...

Mackenzie spent all morning outside collecting fallen sticks from the Willow tree. She strategically arranged them to make a " tree house" that she thought could with stand the Colorado wind. Do you know that that tree fort is still standing? It's housed birds and squirrels who've stopped in for a snack and anyone else who has wandered through our yard.

Mason and his telescope.

We even had a quest for dinner!

Beautiful snow

Mason refused his jacket and opted for his sisters sweater. This is his take on the cold.
