Santa is all done and heading back up the Chimney.

Our First Snow

One night I woke up and Phill was missing. I found him in the Loft taking pictures of the snow our our back window. It was so beautiful he wanted to capture it. Later that morning he caught a picture of the birds in our trees. I feed them and when the weather gets bad there could be 50 or 60 in the trees.

Grandma and Grandpa Waken and Sammy. The Lee's Paul, Jody, Sarah and her friend Justin, Lindsey. We had a really nice dinner.

After dinner we played our new favorite game "ImagineIf". When Joe and Marie were here this summer they brought the game and it was so much fun that we went out and bought our own. Because we had to many people Auntie Jody and Megan were partners.

After everyone went home we loaded up in the car and went to the see the movie Bolt. It was a really cute movie. Unfortunately I was so tired that I fell asleep. This seems to be happening more often the older I get. All in all we had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
