Playing in the first snow

We met Grandma and Grandpa at Quaker Steak and Lube one Sunday afternoon on their way back from Lincoln.

She learned how to tie!  And, she is so excited!

I feel like I am growing a month every week

20 weeks pregnant with Monroe and almost 13 weeks with the triplets

We started decorating for Christmas the week before Thanksgiving.  Monroe was so excited!

Zach and I switched cars for an evening, which we never do.  I got a flat tire while driving his car :(

Burkle Thanksgiving

On Saturday, my family came to Grand Island for Thanksgiving.  Normally, we celebrate in North Platte, but this year Grand Island was easier for everyone.

The kids played in the snow for a little while.

Our first fire of the season

Finley Dawn (4 months old)

It was so nice to not have to travel much this Thanksgiving.  We had a great time with both families and had time to relax.

Runcie Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, we went to Hastings.  

Nana and Papa set up a new playroom, and Monroe and Josiah loved it!

Watching the snow fall

Happy Thanksgiving!

That evening we celebrated the Schwab family Christmas.  There are a few people who won't be home for Christmas, so this was a time that it worked for everyone.  Unfortunately, because of the weather, there were two couples not there.
