papa's birthday

Not too certain what Livy is trying to do here... but either way.. she is having a good time!!!!
And she has taken on this new game of.. find the bowl... she likes to scoot it around the house like a hockey puck, then picks it up and carries it about.... funny, but sometimes the sound of it is annoying!!!!
We picked up a cool little plow for the front of the tractor.  Ed's been thinking of getting one and sometimes when there is a lot of snow to move about, the truck can almost be harder to work with. A friend had this for sale, and Ed thought it might be better in tighter spots and around the barn. With the bit of snow we got the other day, he had his first try with it....
and happy to say, it's working out great and we're happy we got it.....

It's Papa's birthday and everyone has come for a lunch and cake...... I cooked one of the turkeys and was so glad to share it....

Reagan arrived and headed for the toy trunk.....
and the grands played together while the adults visited for a bit....
Happy birthday cake!!!!!
and there was plenty of help when it came to blowing out the candles......
this is what you called... burning the candle at both ends..... not a good idea Papa.....


The day was so pretty and not too cold, so we all headed out for abit... Papa got the little sled out. It hasn't been started all year, but it came right to life....











The grands had fun playing on the swing set....
and then Abi came up with an idea.......
and asked "Krunkle" if he could help her with her plan......
Now, this is what is called... "sledding"......
We tried to get Reagan to go with her, but he was just as happy with his own sledding plans......
Abi had a great time trailing behind the sled... and Krunkle went nice and safe. They must have gone around the farm a dozen times or so......it's not a powerful, fancy snow machine, but it's perfect for  things like this....
Reagan moved some snow for me around the barnyard......
and all too soon, the day was over, and everyone was packing up to leave..... but another fun, fun day to pack on the list of memories....
and the happiest of birthday wishes to Papa!!!!!
