Winter Life

We've been having a lot of fun this winter! 
Our whole family went ice skating in January, and we did pretty well :)


The kids have been extra motivated to practice their instruments because of a reward. If they practiced 6 out of 7 days a week in January they got to have an ice cream from Wendy's. This month, they are aiming for 10 minutes a day, 6 days a week, and will be getting Chickfila! :)  Of course, I'm also benefiting from this ... but I also have to listen to the practicing ;)





We got to celebrate 2 birthdays in January. My nephew turned 10 and we spent a fun day with them. The cousins always have a great time together.  Kevin's dad and brother came to visit and we celebrated Grandpa turning 72!



We've also been doing a bunch of normal life things - watching a show after the kids are in bed...


doing puzzles...playing games after dinner...packing lunches and doing crafts...reading...

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" :)

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)
