Family football game Memorial Park Nov 2015

Warm day in November. Headed to Subway and to Memorial Park for football game.
Chance and I took a bad fall, otherwise fun time. Saw many Eagles and people climbing Barnes Bluff in background. Notice Gabe's shirt is buttoned wrong. Haha. 















Patrick Xmas 2015

I just liked this closeup picture Missy took of Pat! 

Tristan's weird haircut December 2015

Tristan had his head shaved and left the bottom long. Ugh. His chin strap is longer than his hair on his head. We know Alyssa will hate it too. Haha. Very funny Tristan. I sort of laughed, but told him it will be shaved in time for Christmas. 


Ugly Sweater Xmas Party at Missy and Toms 2015

Fun Ugly Christmas party. David won the prize for Ugliest Sweater. Chance was runner up. Dad and Cody and Patrick are wearing ugly sweaters of my Moms found in a big box in Dads garage. 
We had a hula hoop contest, and pantyhose knocking down water bottles challenge. We are grateful Missy is feeling good. She's on immunotherapy. Dad is over walking pneumonia and we are lucky he was here for Christmas and not in Florida. He'll leave soon. Highlights of the elephant gift included a pregnancy test for Missy, gum ball tube for Chance, monkey butt powder for dad and megaphone for Trey. Jadas friend Cameron took this photo. It was nice to see Cody have a good time also. He seems so much happier this Christmas. Patrick is on his tip toes as the boys get taller haha. 



Xmas at Vanessa and Gary's 2015

Boys and their cousins Tessa and Brock. 
Fun time and lots of food. Everyone had fun opening their white elephant gifts. Highlights included yellow bath towels, a Jesus mantel clock and Barbie doll. Gabe's wearing the satin bearing burners jacket he got in the game. Merry Christmas! Thanks Vanessa and Gary. 

Church program 2015 Chance shepherd

Chance is shepherd and Gabe did reading during program. Last years picture of Gabe as a wiseman is included. 
Nice program at Vasa Lutheran school. Love the mural of Jesus on back and kids did great. We had excellent meal following the program. Grandpa John came last year and Tristan and Denny/Tana came this year. 



Thanksgiving 2015 at Missy's house

This year we went to Missy and Toms for Thanksgiving with all the boys. Missy made a big chicken and a turkey. Dad was there too, but not feeling well and has walking pneumonia, so he went home early. Missy looks good, but fighting cancer makes her tired quicker. We did get some quick pictures outside as the first snow of the year fell. Boys had a good time. 
Nice to see Trey, Jada, and Cody also. Fun holiday. 










Halloween 2015 David and Chance 1920s mobsters

This was pretty funny. Chance and David wearing similar costumes.









Picking Apples 2015 sept

The whole family helped pick apples at Grandpa Jim's. It's nice the boys can clear the tops of some of the trees for grandpa. Picked Regent, Haralson and Mcintosh today. 
Chance did the best job bagging apples, I always overfill them. Gabe drove tractor and Ryan and David were at the top of the ladders. 

Fun day!
