November 27 Part 2

So guess what Mike's been doing? Shopping. He's feeling quite the jolly spirit.

I do love the yard though...

And Kylene decorated the top of the school shelves. Looks good. Kate loves nutcrackers. She has

a good size collection going.

Mike got up early this morning said, "I'm going to town. I'll be right back!".
So this is what he brought home. Breakfast for a crowd. Oh, wait. Just us.

12 dozen eggs
6 lbs. of bacon
6 lbs. of sausage
60 hash browns
4 gallons of milk

OK......maybe it will make a more than one mornings breakfast. But he was so cute bringing it in.

My first try at sewing a patchwork tree skirt. I am very proud. It's reversible.

Starting to look a lot like Christmas.

The tree is almost done. Good job guys!

Outside lights....

More.....

And more.....

Mike bought 2400 lights yesterday and went and bought another 3600 lights tonight. He even bought 2- 4 ft. lighted potted topiary tree's for the porch. I'm sure he'll be doing more. We've got to make a game plan for next year. How to put lights on the house without doing damage to the house. Anyways that's what we've been up to.

My cooking helper...

Our Christmas decorations going up in the yard

Smile boys!

Mike took some pictures tonight. I'll take more this weekend. It was wet and rainy tonight. We still have more decorations to put out.

We had such a fun day. Good food and decorating for Christmas. Keegan asked to go to town to see if others had put up Christmas lights. We drove to town, but it was a bummer. No lights. So we told the kids we'd go back this weekend and see if anyone had put up lights. Every holiday season we do a nightly Christmas light tour.

We hope our family, friends, and blog followers had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

November 22

We celebrated two birthdays. Happy Birthday Kurtis and Kassadie. Kurtis is now 10 and Kassadie is a big 8 year old. It was so fun. I love birthdays. But it's extra fun with two on one day!!

The cabin is still in the works. The well inspection came back today and everything was good.
So with the holiday they said we are looking to close escrow at the beginning of next week.

We hope that all goes well....... getting so excited for the snow to come.

November 15

Today we finally got the well inspected at the cabin. Everything went great. The well company called first, so Mike could meet them up there when they did the inspection. They did a complete inspection on it and turned a water sample in today. The water sample test takes two days. Then if everything is okay, we get to close escrow. When Mike was there he did lots of measuring. He gave me the window measurements so we can get new windows ordered. He's hoping escrow will close soon. He wants to get up there and put a new roof on before the snow starts. It's still really warm here, but we know that will change shortly. It's suppose to snow Friday.

I forgot to post my first quilt yesterday. So here it is. Not fancy, but done. I started quilting my next one last night. I had quite a time trying to pick a top quilting design. It will take a while to hand stitch it. I also started cutting patchwork squares for a tree skirt. I will hopefully have that done by Thanksgiving.
