They have to wait until the snowmobiles get to the bottom before they can go.

A few accidents along the way.

The easy way back up the road.

Fat sheep.

We had a reluctant wise man. Did he not realize Gram spent much time making his costume? Yes, that is a sheep around Ethan's neck. Ty got the fat sheep.

Bruce made Harry Potter wands and boxes for each child. Amy painted the boxes with the leaf of the wood the wand was made. I made purple silk pillows for them to lay on. We chose purple because it wasn't a house color. Kim was rereading Harry Potter and the wand was on purple cloth.

This is a game I think you would all like. Jenna won last year and this year. This year she went without a penny for several rounds only to get one and win.

On Christmas Trevor said we forgot to do the present game. He got his holidays mixed up. Arim wanted to unwrap every time so he had to help pause the music.

We draw numbers for the batting order since McKenna was tired of always being last.

Jenna & Kaycee always make confetti (with our paper shredder). I try to avoid it but they always remember.

We had to clean up before we could do the fireworks!

I made a page for each person (22) having Thanksgiving dinner with us. It was favorite color, favorite book, favorite movie, favorite season, favorite meal, favorite dessert, most fun thing this summer, and hobby. Then I taped them on the walls. We had to guess who was each paper.

Mike is a personal trainer. He made us work off our pie!

Jani and Amy cut out wood letters that say GIVE THANKS for each family but they had to sand and paint their own.

Countdown to Christmas candy strips. Some wanted to eat it right now.

We grew these in our front yard.
