thanksgiving...

oh my. do you remember me? i'm still here. i would list the eight thousand things i have been up to lately, but to be honest, i don't feel like it. it's bad enough thinking about them, let alone listing them. whew. here are the pictures from thanksgiving in island park, it was SO much fun and it was SOOOOO beautiful. i can't wait to go back soon. =)

the grandkids sledding, they were SO cute out there in their mittens and hats pulling each other!

you know you're in a small town when the gas stations restaurants and convenience stores ALL have animal heads of some kind on the wall. =)

i also did portraits of all the grandkids while we were up there. of course my little booger is the LEAST cooperative out of ALL TEN KIDS. go figure!

me and my little dude. we love each other.

the best part: finding our tree! we got a tree permit and ventured out to find our tree. let me be clear. we did NOT cut down our tree at a christmas tree farm. we went out in like, the wilderness. we felt so tough and had the absolute best time. luckily we had grandpa k and les, tyson and cody to help us!
