picture backlog!!


I was just emptying my camera, and I realized we have quite a bit to catch everyone up on! Below are pictures from Thanksgiving, our weekend in Lake of the Ozarks with the Hiles, and the beginning of our Minnesota Christmas.

Kelly picked up pecans for the first time at our farm in Red Bud. She probably had too much fun doing it, too! (but if you know Kelly, that's not hard to imagine)

We had a relaxing Thanksgiving with the family in Red Bud. Lots of games and food ... and we even hit the mall and other stores on Friday morning.

At the fish-themed condo at Lake of the Ozarks. (It rocked!) A couple at John's field work church let us use it for the weekend. That's Kelly hiding behind the chair ... you can't tell, but the spoon she's holding has a smiley face cut into it.

The girls crocheting.

A spectacular view out of their bay window.

A not-so-spectacular view.

The Hiles!

The Hiles + bird

Playing "In a Pickle" just before we left. (Does it look like I'm sitting on snow?)

Kelly warming up next to our FIRST EVER fire in our apartment!

Kelly cooking with the nephews

Kyler with his new beard.

no footage found...ah I see how we rate!

I didn't know you actually made the fire in said fireplace.

GREAT view at the lake.

I want to play the pickle game!

Nice beard, Kyler :o)
Merry Christmas!

What great pitures! Wow ... look at all those pecans! The fire looks so warm and cozy! I assume all went well since an emergency phone call to the boy scout was not received :-)

We look forward to seeing you all when you get back and hearing about your white Christmas :)

I hope you're having a wonderful time with family!

What?! A fire in the fireplace! I never would have thought you two would use that.
