It’s always a good trip to St. Louis if we make it down and back without hitting another deer. We had a great Thanksgiving – great food and it was good to hang out with everyone, even though we were only able to stay for two days. Beth’s dad went crazy with the pies – he made pumpkin, pumpkin with whipped cream, chocolate, banana creme, apple, peach – you name it. Maybe next year we’ll get him making some gooey butters again 🙂 We went to the St. Louis Thanksgiving Day parade – Ava and Helena were in the parade. When we left Minnesota it was 17F and when we got to St. Louis it was 57F – and their paper said the weather was “Cold” – ha!
We also celebrated Christmas while we were there…
Christopher got a lazer tag game. Here they are at extremely close range laying some hurt on each other. He would switch between shooting Colleen and shooting himself (so he could hear the sound effects when he was dead).
We got back to Minnesota on Saturday afternoon and it was 40F with no snow on the ground…I started to get the Christmas lights out to hang outside on the house but most of the strands didn’t work so good…so I decided I’d buy more lights the next day. Had I known it was going to snow that night I might have had more urgency…
