Decorating Our Tree

Mike and Michael set up the lights.

Baking Cookies, Finding Our Tree

I made about 10 different kinds of cookies and candy this year. New cookie was Pecan Toffee Shortbread, yum!

Katherine and I made Spritz Cookies:

Katherine likes Instagram Filters. I think we are supposed to be Math Nerds (cute ones)!


We looked for our annual tree and found a really nice one:

Trees are getting expensive.This one cost almost $50! (So we kept it up a few more days than we usually do.) But it was a very pretty one.

Thanksgiving 2019

Here are some pictures of the Thanksgiving we celebrated at John and Nor's. Alas, Nick had to be at work but my other kids were there.

Michael and Megan's First Thanksgiving as a married couple. Megan made a delicious apple cake that was like a giant cinnamon roll!

John Joseph and his uncle Mike (Nor's brother) check out some of the delicious desserts we had.

Katherine and Jamie. I told Jamie he always

 looks like he's deep in thought.

Zach is such a sweet dog we couldn't resist treating him. He especially likes carrots!

Before the Big Day

Nick gets a last minute fitting on his tux. The store owner was so nice and we would definitely use him again!

Wedding Day morning, Katherine gets her makeup done. Loved the girl who did it. Everyone looked so beautiful afterwards (with pro hair dressing, too!)

WONDERFUL DAY

Yesterday, November 3, 2019, Michael and Megan officially became husband and wife. You could just see the love radiating from them. Megan was so beautiful and Michael so handsome. I love these kids so much.

Just a few pictures:

The Very Happy Couple!

Our Newest Furbaby!

Meet Raven Littlepaw!

She is about 10 weeks old and weighs less than 3 pounds. She is so tiny compared to Atticus!

At first, she did not like being here. She hissed and spit at the other pets. But as time went on, she got used to them. Atticus is pretty tolerant of her, but Julie isn't so sure.

Raven likes to cuddle up under my chin. Makes it hard to have a cup of coffee or get any crochet work done, but she's just so cute I don't mind.

I hope I have her until she's 20. Hard to believe I'll be 83 then!
