Thanksgiving and Christmas 2016
 |
| Thanksgiving with Mom, Dad, Grandpa and JB |
My mom clearly has all the pictures if this is the best one I got! We toured Mt. Rushmore-Keystone, Rapid City and Sturgis. We shopped and of course made the best Thanksgiving meal ever! When Rachel is around, we don't do meals half way. She did, however, have someone else make the sugar cookies.
When Christmas break arrived, mom and dad paid for us to fly home. These are a few pics from our house I took before the flight. It was a brutal winter in SoDak! There was definitely not this much snow last year. I had a hard time getting my car up the lane, but luckily Kenny was around while we were away to clear the drive and many days after. Darren's truck was not operating very well at the time.

We celebrated Bradyn's fifth birthday party at the bowling alley with just a few friends. Owen, Landon, Karsten, Kinsley and baby Riley (not pictured). At the time, Bradyn was really into Skylanders and we found a cool cake for him.
