Our Gracie, what a happy little girl.

We had a fun weekend in Algona. Of course it is now Sunday and time to go back to work tomorrow. On Saturday we had a baby shower to welcome our new nephew Brayden. Except for the snow it was a very nice day. Then today before we left Algona we got to celebrate Thanksgiving together with Chris's family. We had a very nice thanksgiving meal made by Chris's mom Darlene. We definitely have a lot to be thankful for this year.

Last weekend we went to South Dakota for Toree's 1st Birthday. Last time Grace was in South Dakota she was 3 weeks old and Toree had just came into this world. Wow how time flies and how these little ones grow so fast. We loaded Grace, Cole, our selves and Uncle Clayton in Clayton's truck and headed north. Hoping the weather would stay nice. A couple days before we were suppose to leave they had blizzard warnings and shut down roads saying it was not safe to travel. It ended up being fine. They didn't get as much snow as they thought and it was just really cold. My mom and dad left the day before with their dog Rocco. So up at my sisters there was three dogs and lots of people. The dogs did really well all together. It didn't even seem like there was three dogs in the house. We had a fun weekend celebrating Toree's birthday.
