Ski Time

 The ski hills are open! I love having a reason to not hate winter.

Enjoy the time with the boys and getting better at the skill of downhill skiing! 

Santa

 Santa 2024 :)

This year the Santa trip came with a little coffee/ice cream bribe. They felt too old to take a picture with Santa. I reminded them this is one of those things that is more for Mom than anything. I love the yearly Santa pictures! How long will this go on boys ? Thanks for asking . I guess as long as you allow ;)  

Lefsa

 Annual lefsa day! I love making lefsa once a year. It’s the sign the holidays are here. Grandma and each  of the boys helped. We are ready for thanksgiving! 

Hot sauce

2024 Hot Sauce. 

 This year for our hot sauce we tried Carolina Reaper peppers. These ladies are super hot ! Can’t wait to spice up my chili . B and Axel will eat it on pizza , noodles, really any thing.

Halloween is starting to look different. Axel and his crew went to chipotle for half off of burritos. Abel went trick or treating with his friends. Ansel had a friend went trick or treating with us in the car a few blocks away. Think this will be the last year I have to be in the cold getting candy. Sadly we only had about 6 people come to our house - too cold this year. Happy Halloween! 

Hank

Hank got bit by our other dog Big. ( Big is an Italian mastiff) up until this point the two dogs share a kennel. I think they were fighting about a blanket- they normally get along well. Poor Hank was super swollen and sore under his arm and tummy. It turned out to be a pretty big bite. Hank got stitches , pain meds and antibiotics. He is on the mend now and the dogs will be living in different kennels. Hank only allowed his cute oneies for one day- then he snuck out of it. 

Stitches are healing
