Black Friday Shopping

Well, we went shopping on Black Friday and it was dark outside. But it was 7 PM and it was more of a - we've been on the road for over and hour and we have two hours left to go, look there's a store, let's stop - kind of thing than an intentional shopping trip. :)

We had been talking about getting an artificial Christmas tree this year because we're tired of spending money on a tree every year and dealing with the mess. When we saw the Menards store, we decided to stretch our legs and see what they had. We ended up buying one, as they did have some good sales still going on.

But first, a cute picture of Abigail.

We Are Thankful

Thank you once again to our church for their annual Thanksgiving food shower for us! We greatly appreciate the food. Not pictured is lots of meat in the freezer, gift cards, and cash.



And Chester enjoyed the "gifts" too in his own way. :)

Storm Chasers?

Well, our (not-so) beloved local baseball team just changed it's name. The Omaha Royals are getting a new stadium this season...and why not a new mascot? Kind of a silly one, if you ask me.

All I Want for Christmas...

Here is Audrey's Christmas list:


1. More Barbie stuff
2. Barbies
3. Box (You know, like great big appliance boxes that kids can play in)

She asked me to put this on the blog so everyone would know what she wants for Christmas.

Playing Together

Audrey wanted to play Wii and, naturally, so did little sister. She has to keep up you know. We set them up playing MarioKart and I think I had just as much fun watching them as they did playing. It took Abby a little bit to figure out which screen to look at and how to hold down the button to go. She thought she won every game - it was hilarious! She would celebrate and then say, "Let's do it again!"

When did they get so big?

Care for a bite?

Our neighbor Bob brought the girls suckers from after Halloween candy sales. Um... it must've been REALLY cheap candy. I mean, see the spider in it?! Ew! I wouldn't eat that stuff.

Didn't seem to bother the girls much.
