Thanksgiving

 This year for the first time since Mark and I have been married, the Muench side planned Thanksgiving on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. With that, Lori still wanted to do a meal on Thanksgiving day and invited our family. It was really nice to have that time at her house with her family and such a small gathering. It seemed very personal and it was nice conversation, quiet, and calm. 





On Saturday, we drove with Karen and Orrie over 2 hours to Kallie Mae's home. She was happy to host  and boast of the new home. Her and her husband just built a large roomy home. We all got the grand tour and it is a great home! It was fun to gather all the family in such a big space. We all ate in the garage and had lots of great food. There were little kids and lots of babies everywhere. Kallie has a little boy ncamed Colt, the same name Jayden picked. Only a handful of people knew the name and Grandpa M (Po) was one of them. It was to remain top secret. Grandpa thought it would be fun to tell Kallie and Suzy of Jayden's baby name. We always miss Jayden at Holiday's the most. She sent a darling photo of her, Noah, and Turbo the dog. It was a long, late and dangerous drive home. It had started to ice up and the interstate was really bad with cars in the ditch. It felt good when we all made it safely home.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
