Grand Prix

AWANA Grand Prix this year started with dinner at church and then the race in the auditorium.  As usual, there were a few glitches that delayed the races, but once they got fixed everything proceeded fairly quickly.  C ended up getting a medal for design.  But his was one of the slowest cars of the night.

One of the race officials was Mr. Dennis.  Mr. Dennis's favorite AWANA activity was the Grand Prix. Mr. Dennis and his wife Peggy became one of our "non-Christmas Elf projects" Sadly not long after the Grand Prix, Mr. Dennis beat us all to seeing K again. 

Thanksgiving part home

We played lots of games together.

We went to Weber Grill for Thanksgiving dinner.

We did do some Black Friday shopping.  Some of it was midnight online shopping.
While at Kohl's we found Woody. Poor guy.

One of the games we played was Bunco.  Notice who was playing.  I guess we hadn't played it in awhile.

Thanksgiving part away

Daddy wasn't able to get off work the week of Thanksgiving.  So we drove to NY the week before Thanksgiving.

We stopped at KK on the way there and on the way home.  YUM

On the way home, Tyler followed us home on "his way" to PCC to visit Bethany.  While he was in FL, C's little friend KJ that moved away spent the night.  Then Ty spent the night again on his way back home.  Then Alyssa came to spend a few nights with us.  Nana and Papa spent one night with us when they dropped her off.  We have been a regular bed and breakfast since we got home.  "We'll leave the light on for ya."

Misc.

Some visitors in my garden.

Uncle J's "costume" for work

Not sure……...

Put a request on Facebook for more canning jars.
One friend gave me 36!  Another 6.  I have plenty now!

Kids Choir under new management.

Got to spend a few hours with this cutie.  Who is getting so big!

Our first snowfall of the year (can you see it?) This was November 12. It's gonna be a long winter.

And this is how my son goes out to play in said "snow"

Was looking for something in K's room.  Found a purse with these items in it.
Which one does not belong?  Made me laugh.  She was always a squirrel.

11 years old

When C turned 10 he kept reminding me that he was double digits.  That didn't bother me too much.  For some reason 11 is bothering me a little more.  10 is still kiddish.  11 is way to close to a teenager. He's just looking way to grown up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BOY!
