So much has been going on around here! I have three quilts to finish up, the one pictured is obviously for Christmas and will hang on a wall somewhere.
We had a light dusting of snow last night, more to come this weekend! Hopefully it will keep on coming for the arrival of the gang from Florida. Ally can't wait to play in the snow with Ian and Madeline:)
Zach shot his first deer this year, it's small but Steve told him every year it has to be bigger than the previous year, plus he hasn't quite caught deer fever yet. Getting up at 5am and sitting out in the cold is not fun for Zach. I think he just shot the first deer he saw.

Our Christmas decorating began on Monday and I just had to post a picture of my favorite ornament, it always gets me in the Christmas spirit! We have the annual Advent potluck at Church this weekend, we eat and then play bingo for small gifts, even Santa makes a brief appearance. The kids love it!

Steve worked on Thanksgiving, so we had a quiet feast at home this year. The kids helped me cook and we played games all weekend. It was awesome! We went to Mom and Dad's on Friday for the Husker game and had so much fun. All the kids played and got along great, Huskers won a nail biting game and seeing Heidi and Zach, J.R., Christa, Lexi, Mason and Callie is always so wonderful! Having a big, huge family can be crazy and loud, but so worth it when everyone comes home:) We are so blessed!!!!!
