Happy Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving. We ate at grandma Ludean's and grandpa Phil's home here in Lund. My family and a few friends also came down to have Thanksgiving with us. We had around 27 people here. After dinner, we played bingo and everyone brought prizes for the game. Then a few of us went and played basketball and hockey at the school. Jackson loved playing hockey and didn't want to leave. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

My parent's made homemade root beer.

I think Jackson's favorite part of the meal was the pumpkin pie.

How precious

Sat. Micah and I spent the morning working on our home, putting up some of the final trim and I started to put up some Christmas lights, since the weather was nice. Around 11:00 am Makenna wanted to go inside and watch a movie, so I started one for her and checked on her about a half an hour later and she had fallen fast asleep. I thought she looked so precious laying there, so I had to take a picture. Sorry I didn't take any of us working outside, they wouldn't have been very fun to look at.

Makenna's haircut

Makenna's hair is very thin and I thought maybe giving her a haircut might start to thicken her hair. This was the first time we have ever tried to cut her hair. I am sure Jeanne was glad to be done, because Makenna doesn't hold still for a second. We only took about an 1 1/4 inches off, but it already looks healthier. Although, cutting her hair did take off some of her curls.

Here is her hair before we cut it.

All done and checking out the new hair cut!!

Animal sounds

Last week Makenna was at Aubrey's home and she was asking Makenna and Neil what sounds different animals made. They were doing really good and then Aubrey asked Makenna what a duck said. And Makenna responded with "Aflac!" Aubrey thought she must have seen the commercial with the aflac duck. Aubrey told me about this and I had to show her that we have some stuffed animal ducks that say "Aflac"(Thanks to my dad for giving them to my children) I took a video of Makenna so you can hear how cute she is with her animal noises.

Baking

Today I was in the baking mood. I really don't like to cook, but Micah took Jackson to go work on the farm and Makenna was taking a nap, so I thought I would bake. I made carrot cake/muffins and a pumpkin cake dessert. I figured if my kitchen was going to be a mess, then I would make a lot of desserts and just freeze them for later. I even got my kitchen cleaned up before Makenna woke up. Now when I feel like dessert I can just pull it out of the freezer.

Look there's even more in the oven baking!!
