Froemmings

The girls put their own trees up this past week, but since we host Thanksgiving I like to wait to put up any Christmas decorations and the tree until after. So, we did just that after Brynn and I got back from shopping on Saturday.... We're ready! I have always wanted an Advent calendar and finally found this one that I liked and ordered it online. I found a file on the internet that had a verse for each day and made little papers that Brynn printed the corresponding numbers on for me. And then I put a little piece of chocolate in each drawer as well.

For some reason we didn't get too far on our thankful pumpkin this year, but we still were able to mark down some things we're grateful for. Clara's turkey she made in school. 💓 The girls helped with cleaning and food prep on Wednesday. Tessa and fam came on Wednesday night as Tessa was signed up for a puzzle competition with a couple of her friends. Dana had gotten tickets through Fix it Forward for the Fargo Force hockey game that night and Chad and Ben accompanied him there. Ben even caught the puck which was super exciting. After Tessa got Dana going on a explanation of the different types and levels of engineers, Dana found himself in the midst of cleaning out his entire wardrobe with the support of Tessa, Elise and Brynn. Well after midnight and with what seemed only a few pieces of clothing remaining, they had a shopping list and a plan to hit up Black Friday to replace what was being tossed out....or demoted to the garage (of which there was a lot!). Without Reagan...
