Christmas came early for us. On Friday, we bought a new laptop on an impulse Black Friday deal, and Clara got a new art easel from Grandma and Grandpa Ward. She loves it. It didn't take long for crayon scribbles to graffiti the desk and stool.

A Very Thankful Thanksgiving
We celebrated a quiet Thanksgiving at home this year. Clara helped me make dinner on Thursday - turkey, two kinds of stuffing, gravy, broccoli salad, rolls, mashed potatoes, and apple pie. Jared pitched in with the green bean casserole, and Elsi put three ducks in the freezer! As Clara watched the turkey roast in the oven through the oven door, she said, "Gobble, gobble!"
We have a lot to be thankful for this year!!

Indian Head
Last weekend we were blessed with sun, temperatures in the 60s, and no wind. Since Jared has already reached his deer quota this year, we had to take advantage of the weather (and Jared's spare time) with a great hike. As Clara gets bigger, our hikes get shorter and easier. With an extra 30 plus pounds on your back, we look for hikes with the most bang for your buck. Indian Head has become number one on our short list. A mere 3.6 miles round trip, but the views were spectacular. Get ready grandparents, we'll be suggesting this one during your next visit!

Daddy's Away, the Girls will Play!
Jared is gone for the week hunting in Michigan. Here's a summary of what we did while he was away.
Clara and Elsi spent some quality time together on Saturday afternoon.
On Monday, Clara helped me make dinner and reorganize the spice drawer.
On Tuesday, we voted!
Wednesday... Tea for two?
We celebrated Christmas early on Thursday. A package came in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa Carlson. We're ready for our visit! Thanks so much!
On Friday, we had a picnic in the living room.
Daddy made it home safely Sunday night and we were all excited to see him!
Halloween Fun
Clara had a Halloween party at school on Friday. They whole school paraded around the parking lot, then we went inside for snacks. Clara was a very cute monkey!
On Sunday, we went trick-or-treating with our friends, Amy and Jay, and their daughter, Anna. The girls had a fun time. Clara enjoyed walking down the street, but was shy when she reached the door. She was excited about all her candy!
