This year we had Uncle Dave’s, Aunt Sarah, and Grandpa and Grandma for Thanksgiving Dinner. Wednesday was spent cooking and carving two turkeys, mashing potatoes, cleaning, school for some, and, since Dad was home in the morning, he and the boys worked on the siding. After church Thanksgiving Day morning, we had dinner and then spent the afternoon outside playing football or 500, riding the horses, exploring the south grove and lake, or sleeping.
One day this week the kids spent a lot of time in the sandbox. I think this is Jewel’s creation.
Cutting celery.
The boys and Dad spent Wednesday morning putting up siding. It started out really foggy.
Sarah, Jewel, and Josh love it when Levi is around more because he plays with them and lets them tag along and help while he works. This is the Alle–t-rex-stegasaurus that they all helped draw.
Thanksgiving Day football game.
And some horseback rides for the girls. (Actually Aaron and Silas rode too; there are just no pictures of them.)
Time for a trip to the south grove.
Checking out Dave’s lake.
Burning energy.
Levi spent the whole afternoon catching up on sleep.
Aunt Sarah played Whitewater Chopsticks for us, and that’s a piece I’m definitely going to learn as soon as I get music.
Hanging siding first thing this morning (note the coats, hats, and gloves; the temp dropped about 25 degrees overnight).
Ron came to help around the curved windows.
They had to quit because they ran out of j-channel (whatever that is).
Finished front looks great!
Putting away the workbench.
