Halloween

We spent Halloween with the Widmers and Krebs.  After a nice meal the kids pillaged the Widmer's neighborhood.  

The accountant in me was proud to see Ryzen, without any prompting from me, took an inventory of all his candy. 

Zade has been practicing Carol of the Bells on the piano and has gotten really good!

Rock Climbing

Zade and Ryzen went with Will and Ethan Krebs to Crux gym and had a great time rock climbing.

Tara has wanted to put a chandelier above the table in our family room.  I finally caved in. 

Tara took the kids over to Darlene Thede's house. She ministers to her and they all had a fun sing along.

Now that it's getting grayer, Tara decided to get some light glasses.  They give her rainbow eyes.  She loves them.

Turkey Trot

Tara, Zade and I had fun doing a 5K race before Thanksgiving.  I ran with Zade to help pace him and he got a new personal record.  Tara ran well and placed in the top 3 of her age division.

Thanksgiving

My parents, Kari's family, and Derek's family came over for Thanksgiving.  After a nice meal we talked and played games. 

5th Street Market

We went and saw the lights and strolled around the 5th Street Market. 

The kids enjoyed going to the Elephant's Trunk.

They were spraying artificial snow to make it more festive. 

Christmas Tree

We picked up a Christmas Tree at Carrol's Country Christmas Tree Farm.

Tara picked up a toy train to go around the tree, which Everest absolutely loves. 

Speaking of Everest, that little guy gets into everything. He decided to empty the trash can into the toilet.  We love him, and he's so sweet, but he can be a handful at times.
