Thanksgiving 2016

We started with the parade, of course :) Aunt JungMin had her lap full!

Then, we got to go out for a huge Thanksgiving lunch. This boy didn't mind one bit and at a lot of veggies.

When we got back from lunch, Poppop had a surprise for everyone. He has become a published author! He had printed a copy for each family, a book about his life. It was great to read and learn more about him :)

The author with two great-grandchildren:

Back at home (after some Black Friday shopping!!) we made hard-tack candy on Saturday. Lots of helpers at first ;)

So happy to end our holiday weekend with these (goof-ball) cousins! The five kids had a great time together -- at Christmas, Linlee will be in the mix :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop. For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime. Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven! "the farmer and the chef" :)

Crazy May

As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :) Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)
