Thanksgiving
Elise and I got the rolls baked early this year and put them in the freezer - unfortunately I forgot to take them out of the freezer. Jenna came to me during the meal and asked where they were. She ran down to the basement freezer, thawed out a bag in the microwave and served them - better late than never?
Unfortunately the above table never quite got everyone sitting down for a picture. Carrie made cut out leaf and pumpkin cookies on which she wrote a number with frosting. Before the meal we all picked a number out of a bowl and sat down to the plate with the corresponding cookie number. Lydia, Carrie, and Lina
On Friday evening, the Paul McClain family, the Dorns, the Buglers, the Bensons and the Blaubachs ate a dinner of Aunt Marilee's spaghetti - mmmmmmm! Then we had a time of singing Christmas Carols per Grandpa McClain's request. Don't let Uncle Peter fool you - he's looking at the computer on his lap.

Halloween
Elise (a Wizard of Oz Poppy)
and our neighbors, Joan Butz (cow)and Merritt (Laura Ingalls Wilder), went trick or treating.
Lina loves to read the picture books that Angie, Kristen, and Carrie
make at Christmas time each year.
This & That
Here's the only picture I have of Nathan this fall - you know what they say about the squeaky wheel. He's not very squeaky, but we love him.
The last of the roses. They bloomed again this fall, standing tall for us to enjoy!
The rose in the middle is standing still - just not always outside in that spot
Holy Hill in the fall

Elise's recital
Elise has been taking voice lessons this past year and recently participated in a recital.
She sang five songs - I'll just post two of them:)
"Castle On A Cloud" from "Les Miserables"
"It's a Hard Knock Life" from "Annie"
