Candlewalk 2007

Candlewalk pictures 11/23/07

We had a very nice time at the Candlewalk. Bruce, Melissa, Hailey, Max, Vikki, Rody, Mykenzie, Bill and I went. There were beautiful carolers, Fun and games for the kids, hot cocoa, cookies, and donuts. The walk through the city was peaceful and loved the horse drawn carriages. The horses were just beautiful. Hailey, Max and Kenzie loved the reindeer. Hailey cried and didn't want to leave them.
We dressed in layers so stayed nice and warm even though the temperature was pretty cold out. This is a tradition we have done for many years now and thoroughly enjoy.

These pictures were taken on Thanksgiving Day. It was a nice day with family, although it was hard without my mom here. We missed Kimmy and Jared and the boys too as they were spending the holiday with Jared's family. We did have Truman though so we had a majorily "big" part of the family. We were very thankful for all of our many blessings.

I am way behind with blogging. I am just now putting pictures from Kenzie'
s birthday on. Have more to put on later too. I thought the pictures of Jacob and Max eating nanas at Nana's was cute. For some reason they love bananas at Nana's.
My very favorite is the boys in their coats and hats. Kimmy took it and did a great job. I also love the ones of Kenzie and Truman. They were having so much fun.
The neighbor girl came over and they all just ran and played for a long time. I was glad to see Truman getting exercise. He sure loves Kenzie. He is always excited to see her. She is spending lots of time with him. He is doing great and is the best dog ever. I can't believe how obedient he is. Hope he rubs off on Mocha when it comes to coming when called. Well, Bill has to do a funeral tomorrow and I have to type it yet tonight so have to make this short. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone if I don't get on tomorrow. Love to all!!!

Nice day out today, but windy. We went to help load groceries for people at a local department store for our outflow at church. Mostly ended up greeting people and handing them carts as most wanted to load their own groceries. That's how I would be too. Met some very nice people. Bill helped out with the plumbing in Bruce and Melissa's kitchen most of the day, other than helping with the outflow outreach. I went to dad's and he had cut down all of his corn stalks. He had 2 huge rows. He had me help cut down stuff yesterday and sweep the leaves up. Should have had me to the corn too. At 91 I am amazed at all he tries to get done. He knows he has many willing helpers in the family if he just lets us know. He was pretty proud of himself when he showed me what he had done though. I was proud of him too, just don't want him overdoing. Bill got home and we went shopping. Got some good sales on Christmas items, especially clothes for the kiddos. We stopped at for ice cream when we were done. It was very yummy. Vikki stopped over to show us the violin she had gotten for Kenzie. Kenzie played it and it sounded very nice. If her teacher says she can use this one, it will save Vikki lots of rental money. God's blessing!
Watched very cute videos of Kenzie when she was little. We laughed so hard. She was sooooooooo cute!!! She lost a tooth today and was pretty happy it was out.
I put lots of pictures on tonight as I was quite behind. I was happy I had some of Aunt Vikki with the kids. She has always been the best aunt to them ever!!! We are always happy to see her.

Off to school to take Kenzie, then I got some stuff done around the house I've been wanting to get done. Bill came home for lunch which I always enjoy. God is blessing him on his job and I'm so happy to see him enjoy it so. Took dad to his audiologist and they have to send his squealing hearing aid in to be repaired.
The audiologist is very nice and always shows us pictures of her little guy who's 18 mos. After that we left to pick Kenzie up from school. Went back to grandpas and then home. We were just going to head for a coney dog when we got a call from Melissa and she and Bruce wanted to take us out to eat. We went to a nice restaurant and then for a cookie at the Apple Farm. I was too full for a cookie needless to say, but the kids were sure excited. Thanks very much Bruce and Melissa!
We all had a fun time and the food was delicious.
