Thanksgiving

We had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving looking at the Black Friday adds and watching an interesting movie. Then we ate and then we watched a really cute movie. Then we ate dessert and boy, was it good. Chocolate pie, a rolled pumpkin cake with cream cheese filling, a raspberry cheesecake. Ummmm It was delicious! Then we watched another movie and went home at 9:30 p.m. It was great to be in Karina and Alan's newly remodeled home. It was beautiful.

Landons third Birthday

Landon's Birth Party didn't start out with opening presents...It's just hard to get the photos in the right places. They started Rocking Out then opened presents and then we ate and then we had Birthday Cake!


Oh Boy, this looks like a good one

Tate and Gramma's tummy anxious to eat the cake

Tate and I shared our Birthdays since I was in Montana on my birthday! It was a fun party...we had lots to eat...Hamburgers and Corn on the cob, my Italian salad and Nicks Jello Salad, and chips. Michelle, Nick and Landon and Grant, Scott and Bethany and kids (Alan's brother and sister-in-law) were there. Grampa and Grandma Rigtrup came the day before. The big thing was Tate getting to blow out a candle and everyone tried to help, but the lighter didn't work. After we had eaten the cake, Nick got some toilet paper to fire up using one a the coals and Tate finally was able to blow out a candle!

Michelle and My Yard Sale

Things on the yard and Grant

Well, Michelle and I finally had a yard sale. I made $81.30 and Michelle made $210. We sold lots of miscelaneous stuff. I want to have it a second time because there's still a lot of stuff that we could sell, but the weather is not assisting us!!!

My Trip Home to Montana

After the family reunion on Monday, I traveled home to Montana for a 3 week visit with my folks. It was very relaxing and great because I got to touch base with them and enjoy talking about everything and anything! I also got to go and visit with my great Aunt Mary and see her beautiful gardens. I stayed over for my Birthday and it was fun. We picked up Aunt Mary as she was in town for my birthday and to get her car fixed. We went out to eat at the Pink Cadillac. Then after we dropped off Aunt Mary, we went to Spotted Eagle and I waded. Then we went to a museum out at the Pumping Plant (water treatment plant). All in all it was a great trip.
