Thanksgiving 2022

Lincoln's birthday was on Thanksgiving. The boys headed to the Turkey Bowl, and he was stuck on a couch. At least he had FIFA to keep him company.

This is such a cute thing Maggie does.

She also loves to be under everyone. She squeezed under Linc when he was doing Sudoku. 

Dinner Time!

Dad was such a champ to stay up on the dishes all day! 

We sure missed Palmer!

 

Turkey Bowl 2022

Everything about the holidays was weird without Palmer this year. He is always so into the Turkey Bowl, it was sad to not have him. Lincoln was down because of his hip surgery, so these three were the only ones that went. 

They had a great time!

 

Gingerbread Houses 2022

We went to Petersons to do our gingerbread houses this year. They had some family over that joined us. Poor Lincoln had just had surgery, but he was happy to get out of the house. He laid on their coach instead of ours. I think it was a good change for him.

We drew names to see who would be combined in teams. Josh was with Kendall's brother, Thomas and his son Tomlinson. 

Hunter was combined with Petersons grandma and Thomas' wife, Lindsey.

Mom was combined with Christian and McKay (total trouble there).

They totally hogged the glue gun the whole time :)

Things got a little crazy with their house.

Ella was there to give lots of snuggles to Lincoln.

Hunter loves little kids. He was super cute with Tomlinson.

McKay too.

All done with our houses!

There was a death theme to ours, so these two wanted to take pictures with us looking like villains. 

We had people vote on social media and #3 was the winner.

All of the houses together.

The fireworks that we will be using to blow our houses up...

We always love being with the Petersons, they are so fun!

 

McKay-Bird Study Merit Badge

Our friend Holly Loscavio is McKay's merit badge Counselor for Bird Study. She was so great to let him come and work on the badge at the Dunwoody nature center where she works. He learned some really good things about birds!

He also learned about what kind of binoculars are the best for bird study. He got to see close up of bird's wings, which was cool.

After that part we went on a little hike to find and identify birds.

We saw a bunch of really cool ones!

It was a fun day of bird study. It think I could definitely be a bird watcher.
