Thankful for House Progress on Thanksgiving

The house is starting to really look like a house. 
 The fireplace is in. I can't wait to sit by the fire on a snowy day. 
  This is the back of the house and the back of Jens and DeA
 We could not ask for a better autumn.  
 Hockey is a big part of our lives right now. Rock couldn't care less if we are watching him, Ryker checks constantly to make sure we are seeing everything that he does. 
 The school had the annual community Thanksgiving dinner. The kids were excited. 

 Rock wanted to give goalie a shot. It turned into three games in goal and he quickly realized that he doesn't like goalie. 
 The kids love it when Grandpa calls and asks who wants a ride in the helicopter. They always all say yes, so I rarely get to go. 
 Grandpa Leo would have turned 100 this year. We celebrated his birthday with chocolate milkshakes and with Mom complaining that we were only making chocolate, just like when Grandpa was alive. 

  
 Leo Baby chose to chow string cheese instead. 
 MAXAMILIANO!! loves helping make milkshakes.

 DeA was excited to see the progress on the house that she literally ran there (well, she went for a jog and ended up at the house, but still).
 This is the house color and the stone that we picked. It turned out better than we thought. 
  Thanksgiving Day finally arrived. The annual Turkey Bowl was totally lit. Dave Thompson brought hot cocoa to help fuel the players. 
 It was a great turnout and a fun game. 
 Dinner was at Doug and Jama's. It didn't start great when the potatoes spilled on DeA's feet, but she still let me join everyone else for dinner. 
 Leo Baby loved the pumpkin pie. 
 Jacob barely put any whipped cream on his pie. 
 DeA used the leftovers.to make a stuffing waffle sandwich with turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy.
 The kids re-decorated MAXAMILIANO's skin.

 It wouldn't be Thanksgiving weekend without the kids all crashing on the couch. 
 Leo Baby convinced Aunt DeA to take him to the new house and give him a tour. At least he had a good hat.
