Holiday Decorating Day

 We got the house all ready for Christmas.  Love this time of year!



I got the annual picture in front of the tree and realized they're so big that they had to stand on the sides.  Charlie had the idea of hugging the tree.  They did all the ornaments this year and they're spread out so nicely.



Even did a little outside this year


That's better- presents under the tree the next day

Thanksgiving COVID Style

 It was a little different this year but it was nice.  We stayed home and Nick attempted a turkey for the first time.  It turned out great!  We also had potatoes and gravy, corn, stuffing, rolls and pumpkin bars for dessert.  We felt like real adults pulling off Thanksgiving food!

Looking forward to spending time with family next year.

SNOW!

 The first decent snow means we had to go and check out the sledding hill across the street from our new house!



One Loved Kitkit

 I don't think Phoenix, or "Kitkit" as the kids lovingly refer to her, ever goes more than an hour without someone giving her some kind of love. Charlie adores this cat.

Charlie's First Time Hunting

 Charlie sat with Nick for deer hunting on Saturday afternoon.  He loved it and they only saw a couple squirrels.

First Squirt Game

 Charlie played right wing for his first full ice game with refs.  The team lost 4-2 but it was pretty fun to be back at the rink cheering on our favorite hockey player (#22 this season).

Halloween

 Carving pumpkins




Had to take advantage of Halloween being on a Saturday this year (even if we're in the middle of a pandemic).  We had spooky donuts and ghost toast for breakfast, mummy melts for lunch and pumpkin pizza for supper.  We also played some minute to win it games, went trunk-or-treating and then braved the wind to go trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.







Bonus stop...a hearse on the way home from trunk-or-treating.  Nick's friend got this somehow.  Creepy but cool!




All trick or treated OUT!  We made it to a friend's house across the neighborhood so we sent the guys back to get the car to pick us up.

Hot Tub is Here!
