Thanksgiving

We stayed home for Thanksgiving this year and Brodie was out of town so the Hanni's came over! I think it was one of our favorite Thanksgivings! Being together with friends and Ashley and I divided up the menu so it wasn't overwhelming. We did go for a walk in the morning before they came. During the break we also went to jumptime for the afternoon and Makenna tried one of her face masks she got for her birthday.

Makenna's Birthday

Makenna turns 13!! How in the heck do I have a teenager? Her birthday fell on a Sunday this year so the Saturday before her, Olivia and Arleigh went shopping at the mall for the afternoon. That evening she had a big 'ol party with a bunch of her friends. We had pizza, they played some minute to win it games and hung out. Caleb ended up being quite the pro using chopsticks to pick up marshmallows and I think the girls had a great time!

Birthday Sunday by going to church and hanging out at home! We sure love our Makenna and all she brings to our home. Her spunk, smile and she is such a good friend to others and so brave in sharing what she believes. Love her!

Steve's Beard

Steve wanted documentation of all the stages of him shaving off his beard!

And we snuck in an anniversary breakfast before Makenna's birthday celebrations!

Steve's Birthday

For Steve's birthday in the afternoon we went to the MSU volleyball game and ice cream after. That evening Caroline hosted a murder mystery dinner and it was a blast. Our character was a rich snotty lady who is in the Miss Kansas Beauty Pagaent. We actually were the killers!
