Happy Holidays!

Kevin's Parents, and Brother's Family will be

with us for the holidays - We are very excited!!!

Just a quick Hello...

Wow, what a week!!!!

Last Thursday night because of the ice storm

we lost our power, well I am writing a week later

Thursday morning 11am we just got our power back!

This is going to sound a bit crazy, but I can not wait to

do laundry, vacuum the house, cook with an oven, etc, etc....

Well I have a million things to do so I will hopefully

do a better post when things get caught up - might be a while!

Thanksgiving weekend

We had a great thanksgiving feast at the barn.

A close up of the beautiful centerpieces.

Everything is just about ready - yummy!

My favorite spot - the very full dessert table!

Off to the Dome for some games.

Breanna and Auntie Heather in a game of kick ball.

The next morning we headed north.

On our way up we stopped in to see Grampy at

the hospital, he had just had heart surgery.

An hour from home we ran into this -

the kids were very excited!!

We arrived at camp and in about 5 minutes

Braden had found all of his winter gear and got

dressed to head out for some sledding.

And he's off!

A ride up the hill from Daddy - that's the best!

It was quite a long ride down and a little jump at

the bottom that Breanna & Braden loved to get air off.

Kyle is in love with helmets!

Jobe & Molly and Calista riding with Kevin.

Andrea & Shilo.

Shilo with Daddy!

Relaxin! Nate & Katie.

Calista, Lilly, & Breanna playing up in the loft.

Crazy man!

Nate was hot after playing games down at Carl &

Sally's camp so he road home like this to cool off - BRRR!

Colby, Breanna, & Braden ready for more sledding.






After going on a trail ride we stopped by Carl &

Sally's bonfire to warm up a bit.

Relaxing after a full day of sledding.

Braden has a bit of hat head going on.

Our last night at camp, my turn to make supper.

Jobe & Mamie and the kids joined us.

Lots of fun!

This is what we came home to on Sunday night.

The snow didn't last very long, but we do still have

the 2 piles of snow that Breanna & Braden made.

Pilgrims & Indians

Braden's school had a Pilgrim & Indian feast

on Friday Nov. 21st.

On thur I went in to help make stone soup

with the class for the feast on Friday.

Bradens class were the pilgrims, and

Brody & Paxton's class were the Indians.

They had the stone soup that they had made,

they also had rolls with the butter that the kids

made, and apple or pumpkin pie for dessert.

The 2 classes put on a little show for the parents-

really cute!!!

Sitting down to a feast.

Lots and lots of pie!

Brody, Braden, and Paxton

Mr. Braden the Pilgrim.

Yeah Dad's Home!

Sunday afternoon we drove to Boston to pick

up Kev. The kids were so excited, Breanna

greeted him with her usual sweet welcome home

letter, she always signs it from Braden and

Mom also - pretty cute!

On our way home we stopped and had supper

at the Rain forest Cafe, the kids were super psyched

about that. We sat next to the Elephants.

Breanna and Braden had fun walking around and taking

pictures of each other by the animals.

What a fun night!
Oh ya, we topped it of with a slice of
cheese cake from the cheesecake factory to go.

Wilton Project

Wilton is really coming together, it seems like

lots is happening right now - flooring, lighting,

sight work. Here are a couple pictures.

Tuesday Nov 4th

Kevin flew out early Mon. morning after our

fall weekend get together.

He had a job in Arizona so he was gone for the week.

We had some great warm fall days at the beginning

of the week so we tried to enjoy them.

We met the Flynn's at Keyes field for some fun.

The Flynn's are the family that bought our Souhegan St

house and one of the daughters is in Breanna's grade so

we have been able to keep in touch - pretty neat.

Breanna and Keelyn

That night we asked Katie if she would go

with us to Manchester to pick up Kevin's truck

at the airport. We went to the mall & out for supper.

A mall favorite for the kids - the spinner!
Ya, I'm glad I can watch from the side they
get that thing spinning so fast!


Woo Hoo that was sooo fun!

Annual Fall Weekend Get Together

We had great weather for our fall weekend.

All of the families that stay with us during Milford

Convention come out for the weekend, and all of the

couples with young kids in the area.

The guys enjoyed some football in the front yard.

Most of the ladies.

Time for some hide-n-seek!!!

Everybody was so glad that we were able to get the

buggies out for this fun game. Last year we got rained out.

A load of girls, and

A load of boys!

Brad's group was the first to hide - a great

spot, but they had to get pulled out of the mud.

Nate & Shilo.



Mr. Sawyer!

The ladies escaped to the basement for a little

baby shower for Shelly Howe.

Congratulations!!!!

Sunday was union mtg. & pot luck at our place,

and another fun afternoon for the kids.

I took only one picture on Sunday, and I had

to post it because it is a great picture of Adam & Lisa.

Wish I had of taken more pictures of the weekend.
