Zoo Lights

I have always been interested in the Christmas light display at the Lincoln Zoo and this year I finally purchased tickets.  Nathan and I took the boys to Lincoln on the 23rd for a bit of last minute shopping, dinner at Granite City and the stroll through the wonderous lights.  

The weather was perfect! Chilly but not cold and so still. The music and lights were absolutely enchanting.

Christmas Party with Tucker

Mrs. Sheridan's 2nd Grade class planned a Christmas party for their special family members this year. Tucker got some much deserved one on one time with his parents in his festive classroom.

He worked very hard on his writing skills.

Eight!

Our Tucker Jack turned eight and the celebrations were nothing less than great!

The day began with pancakes, bacon and sausage.

Gifts were opened immediately of course. Mason gifted him a book of jokes that every 8-year-old should know. Papa and Onnie McKenzie gave him a lego kit. The Hamilton's gifted him a new smart watch. Papa and Gma Bose picked out a hydraulic excavator kit and his Mom and Dad found a 3D Printer pen.

Mom delivered popcorn chicken and a cotton candy slushie to the school for lunch. 

After school, 14 of Tucker's classmate friends came to the Federated Church for a baseball themed party.

It was crazy wild but we all survived and consumed a ton of sugar!  Tucker is fortunate to have wonder friends and family to make his day so very special.

1000 Points

My nephew achieved a milestone in his basketball career this past week.  Isaac reached 1000 points during the season match-up with Hi-Line (Elwood). This really comes as no surprise to me. The kid has had a ball in his hand since he was able to walk!

Thanksgiving

At the end of November, we got to spend three fabulous nights in Harlan County celebrating the end of Fall and all the things of which we are thankful. 

During the 72 or so hours, I took exactly 3 pictures... which was perfect! That meant I was unplugged and present and exactly where I wanted to be.

Games with Grandma

I mustache you a question.

First Snowfall

The weather switched from Fall to Winter the day after Thanksgiving with the first snowfall of the season. It was beautiful and put me in the spirit for all things Christmas. I just love the change of seasons!

Parade of Lights

It was a cold one but Sutton's annual Parade of Lights event never disappoints.
