Happy Thanksgiving (prep)

I had some help...
i did have actual help from Amiah. She made the pumpkin pie filling.

70 degrees of decorating-

Time to light the tree. Take off the old lights...an hour and 20 removed branches later...put on the new...easier said than done.

Ivy's here...

Mae and Oliver choose the basement rather than deal with her exuberance.

Remember this?

At Halloween I mentioned these street signs and how I wanted one... yesterday some friends of ours gave me this! I'm pretty excited about it. Not sure where I will put it yet but I'll figure it out.

Not to old for Halloween...

Jayme and her friend, Rachel wanted to be half skeleton ballerinas for the night. So I made them each a tattered tutu, Bobbi did their hair and I did their make-up. They look creepily adorable.

Last weekend

Bobbi ran the Des Moines 1/2 Marathon with her friend, Melissa. So proud of this girl!
(I had to screen shot these from the Internet so they are a bit fuzzy)

Weekend-

Friday evening Ashley came out and we cooked out down at the fire. It was a lovely, chilly, fun time.
Saturday I had lunch with Bobbi and she bought Oliver some shirts...we had a great time. Then I headed to their house and helped Jayme get started on painting in the basement. Since I was in town I went to service that night.
Sunday I stayed home and did the projects I didn't get done on Saturday.
