Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving day at Aunt Peg's house! Peg and Brian had a wonderful meal for us and we enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving with our family. My parents and my brother's family spent the night at our house and then we made a quick visit to Conrad to see Nick's parents and his sister's family. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!

Decor...

We got the house decorated today! One tree upstairs and one downstairs! We had a lot of fun and it was really nice having Nick home so we could decorate a few days earlier than normal. We are ready for the holidays!

Lights!

We all helped put Christmas lights up today! It was nice outside so we decided to take advantage of the temperature and get some decorating done. Ben was all about getting on that ladder, but Conner preferred to keep his feet on the ground. We even added some new lights! Can't wait to turn them on!

Job Shadow!

Today Conner and I headed to Iowa City so he can do a job shadow at Billion Auto! He was so excited! He had a great time and even learned a few things. He also got some free gear which is always fun.

Helpers...

The guys helped Dad with some jobs around the house today. Conner had fun mowing, although his lines were not exactly straight! Ben helped change the oil in the boat. It is great having Dad home on the weekends!
