I remain eternally behind on this blog, so we are going to cover the holidays in just one post. Here we go!
For Halloween this year, James and Leo went as bats. James was Batman last year, and this year, “just the bat” as he put it. That kid really makes me laugh. We went trick-or-treating with the Shenks and there was a rolling cooler full of beer and wine. It may have been the best grown-up Halloween I have had. All Halloweens going forward will have alcohol.

Thanksgiving this year was celebrated at Richard & Cindy’s house. It involved football and excessive eating- my favorites! They have a traditional Silly String Fight every Thanksgiving and the kids had a blast.

James helped Uncle Matt out in the kitchen. He loves to cook! |

We spent the rest of Thanksgiving weekend with Pop up at Luther Springs camp. It was so nice to get back in a little nature and Leo was thrilled to get to run down trails again and go exploring.
Our little Shenk Family spent Christmas morning at home lazily opening presents and enjoying the day. Then, we headed over to Richard & Cindy’s for a great family dinner.

Despite their faces, they seemed to have a good time making it. I’m sure they would have preferred to eat the candy, but mean moms said no. |

A “sweet” little house. |
