Holiday Decorating

We pulled out the Christmas decorations this weekend.  We always decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving and this year it was our fastest year yet!  The tree is up, decorations on and now we get to enjoy it for several weeks.  

  

New Refrigerator

 

Step 1 - once you know it's coming,
find space in garage

For several years, I have wanted to get an extra refrigerator for the garage.  We've already started buying some extra food but needed more space to store cold items.  Derrik kindly found me a used one that was picked up on Friday!  It's a real treat to have!

Step 2 - borrow a truck and dolly for transport

Enlist big sons and father-in-law to
help move it

 

Step 4 -stay out of the way but still
take lots of pictures of all the
hard work

Step 5 - watch as your son gets wedged behind
the new fridge and wonder if there's a plan
to get him out

Step 6 - smile and start
loading new fridge with
extra things!  Yay!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving didn't look very different in 2020.  We were able to be with the grandparents and eat some of our favorites, which was lovely.   After the meal, we played the M&M game and some napped while I hopped on zoom with some of YOU!  Pie and more thankfulness followed.  It was a great day!

 

Happy #47, Derrik!

Happy Birthday, Derrik!  We celebrated with donuts and Olive Garden and Chinese food and chocolate cake!  He and I went out for lunch and then shopping.  He had a great day!

A new office chair!

Lunch outside

Our Happy Birthday song that almost crashed and burned!

Meet our painter, Bob Ross!

 Ethan attended a party on Halloween dressed as Bob Ross!  He looked so good - that beard and fro - wow!  The rest of stayed home and watched for trick-or-treaters.
