We made it to Kansas City to have Christmas with my parents. When we got there, my mom was in the middle of painting the hallway. She had much of it taped, but other stuff got in the way.

The day after Sonora’s concert, Corvin had one of his own. Danelle and Sonora decided to warm up by the fire before we went into the concert. Glad they didn’t burn themselves!

All of our Thanksgiving plans with family fell apart this year. We didn’t plan to out of town, so we improvised a last minute camping trip. It has been three years since our last Thanksgiving week camping adventure. The kids seemed to miss the camping this time of year.

In an effort to get away, I took the kids out to bike on Grant’s Trail. It was a bit cold outside, so Sonora was quite bundled up. Corvin and I unicycled and he did a great job! And as a treat, we had hot chocolate out of the thermos when we finished our ride! … Continue reading “Grants Trail – 11/20/2016”
