Happy Thanksgiving!!

We want to wish all of our friends and family a Happy Thanksgiving! We have many blessings to be thanksful this year! :)

Our First Snow

The kids were so excited to see our first snow! They played for a couple of hours and into the dark! I had to call them all in for dinner!

Then we spent a good chuck of Sunday at the Zettel's making apple juice and a little bit of pear juice! The kids had a good time even though it was really cold!

Cooking Making

We traveled to my parent's house this past weekend. It was cold and rainy so it was a good day to make some cut out cookies! Here are some pictures of the kids enjoying a moment with grandma!

Dem Bones

Our kids love this 8 min clip on Charter On Demand. Every time I find it and they watch it, they break out with their dance moves. I thought it was very appropriate for the holiday!
