It's always hard to go so long without updating the blog, because I don't want to miss anything important. So sorry this post is so long!
At the end of November, right before Thanksgiving, Allen took off a week to hang out with us at home. We took advantage of the time and put up our Christmas decorations. Braden was fascinated by this nutcracker and just wouldn't leave it alone. Sadly, because of his undivided attention towards it, we need to superglue the nutcrackers head back on!
The older kids were supposed to have school on Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving. However, "The Blizzard of 2010" hit. Tons of snow, a lot of wind and drifting snow. They cancelled school, and one of those days the county basically shut down. They said they had to close all the roads because of how bad it was. Allen did a great job at keeping the driveway and mailbox cleared, but it was a full time job. Again, we are so grateful to have a snowblower and it has definitely been used a lot this winter already!
Luckily, the roads were ok by Thanksgiving. By ok, I mean one lane and just slightly packed with snow and ice. We went to my parents for Thanksgiving. It was delicious! The kids all got to decorate Grandma's tree. Always a favorite thing to do.
Braden absolutely loves this little mailbox at my parents house. He pushes it all over the house. Luckily we found the orange that he stuffed in there for later. We found it before it was moldy.
My parents had a new addition this year - a train set that actually blowed smoke out of the engine. Tyler loved it! He spent a while building the track and just watched it forever.
It was such a fun week and hard to go back to reality of school and work. Can't wait for next year!

I miss Thanksgiving with the fam. Maybe next year. Mom and Dad didn't tell me about the train. Glad you did :)
