What a Christmas tree!!!

Every year the kids decorate the Christmas tree


Wow!
What a tree...
It has 40+ more ornaments this year
because we added Rob's ornaments from childhood!
That is one jammed tree
but we love it!!!

Quite A Hike!

Aspen ready for a hike!
What a beautiful day!




We went down to the creek
&
saw that there was a beaver
This was so fresh that it was still wet!



A little woodpecker work!



Aspen had a blast!
It was a great day for a hike!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

T is for the trust the pilgrims had so many years ago
H is for the harvest the settlers learnt to grow
A is for America, the land in which we live
N is for nature and beauty which she gives
K is for kindness, gentle words, thoughtful deeds
S is for smiles, the sunshine everyone needs
G is for gratitude... our blessings big and small
I is for ideas, letting wisdom grow tall
V is for voices, singing, laughing, always caring
I is for Indians, who taught them about sharing
N is for neighbors, across the street, over the sea
G is for giving of myself to make a better me
