Birthdays and Getting Ready for Christmas

 What is this tree? It is prickly!

 Look at all the ornaments and figures! I can hardly keep my hands off them.

 CHEESE with the tree.

The "Frozen" princess and the tree.

 Mommy and Daddy had a birthday party for Sophie and

Grandma in early December. Sophie and Mike traveled

from Saginaw. Madelyn showed them one of her puzzles

 and Sophie helped her put it together. 

 Sophie loved Madelyn's dancing antics.

We even dance for the camera..........

 Mason helped Grandma blow out her candles.

Sophie smiles while Mason blew out most of her candles.

SUGAR. We love grandma's sweet rolls!

Late November Travels

Mason helped grandpa rake leaves in Muskegon.

Mason also helped grandpa nail up heavy plastic on

Daravia's mom's porch windows. He did good

with the 20 ounce hammer!

 

 

We made our annual pilgrimage to Uncle Randy's mower shop in Macomb Illinois at

Thanksgiving. Madelyn got to drive a mower tractor while Mason danced on the truck trailer. 

 Uncle Randy's showroom is full of mowers to drive!

to pet.

We also traveled to the Kendrick family farm at Melvin Illinois for another Thanksgiving

get together and got pictures taken of each individual family for Christmas cards.
