Happy Thanksgiving! (from Kelly)


Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I cannot believe what a gorgeous day it was outside on Thanksgiving. I'm thinking the 70 degree heat may have broken some fall records for Yutan at the end of November. We all were commenting that it felt more like a nice Easter than Thanksgiving. Fortunately, that allowed for some great time spent outdoors and a good photo opportunity for the whole family (minus Cassi-missed you!).

It was tons of fun to have everyone together, including Zac and Stephanie. We're already looking forward to the wedding next summer to gather again. The little ones provided lots of entertainment as well, even though Xander slept through nearly all of the festivities:) With the beautiful temps, we even took the opportunity to take a walk down to the Bull house and catch up with some cousins there.

We've had a wonderful fall here in Lincoln, our first snowfall finally hit yesterday. It looks so nice to have some snow over the Christmas lights, gets me ready for the next holiday! I'll keep the holiday theme going with another picture (from Halloween). It's hard for me to pass up all the cute pet costumes at Target, I finally caved in and bought one last year. Here's Lily as a hot dog. She actually escaped the house on Halloween evening with the second set of trick or treaters and ran around the neighborhood for a good 15 minutes. She wasn't in costume yet, I think that would have been much more amusing if she had been a hot dog running round the 'hood.

Not much else happening here. We put my dad to work at our house, he taught Paul how to sweat copper. They then spent an afternoon installing a water softener. I'm excited to say we now have soft water. Long live our appliances and soft skin!

That's all from Lincoln. Have a great Christmas.

Love,
Kelly
