Not my idea of a vacation....

Scraping barns that is. We headed up to Minnesota for Thanksgiving. The roads got slick towards the end of the trip but we made it. As always, the kids had fun playing with their cousins. Kyra and Kyleigh loved all the kittens (and no we didn't bring another one back). Valynn and Mason helped feed the calves and scrap manure out of the barn. They didn't have a lot of snow, but enough for the kids to be pulled in sleds behind the gator.

Monday night Mason had a boy scout meeting at a basketball game. Mason enjoyed watching the game. On Tuesday morning Mason had an endoscopy, he still had some sores on his esophagus. We get the results on Tuesday to see if it's improving. On Tuesday we decorated the house for Christmas. The kids were excited to get the tree decorated. Addy thought it was fun as well, she's climbed both trees, we had garland extended into three rooms, and lots of playing with the ornaments. Yesterday Mark took the day off and we did some Christmas shopping. We bought a few gifts but have ideas for almost everyone.

We have a busy weekend ahead of us. Tomorrow we are ringing bells for the Salvation army. Sunday we have church/SS practice, I have a church council meeting that I'm going to miss, we have the CAT Holiday show, we have Holiday Homecoming where Valynn is singing for Girl Scouts, and we have the Sunday School Christmas program practice. Next week is just as crazy with Boy Scout and Girl Scout meeting, doctor's appointments, and kids' activities.

Have a safe weekend everyone, we should be getting snow here and the kids are thrilled.
