Joining Barbara in commemorating the year in once a week posts … just whatever is going on in your life: the mundane, the crazy, the normal, the everyday. 

This is the last of these posts…thank goodness!  The last half were so hard to get done and I ended up combining many weeks into one post.  So, as an end to this commemoration, here are a few of my favorite photos from the last few weeks of 2011.

Santa Days in town means a bag of goodies for the littles.  Louis took his bag and ran!

My hubby actually prompted the boys (Zeke and Graham) to add Bison Victory to their wish lists shared with Santa.

1st deer-hunt for Dash

2nd Birthday for my baby – Louis

My grandfather… he had my Grandma Julia’s grave moved because the previous location was threatened by flood-caused erosion.

We visited the new gravesite on Thanksgiving.

It’s a snack time of year, but I can offset the damage with healthy protein!

Thank goodness for flowers!  There is no snow, so everything is brown and lifeless-looking outside.  Flowers make me happy.

Boy!  Have I fallen behind in the 52 Weeks posts.  Here’s a huge ‘catch-me-up’ that shows just a bit of what’s been going on around our home.  Sorry, Barbara, there is no linking up with this one, but she started this commemoration of the year.… just whatever is going on in your life: the mundane, the crazy, the normal, the everyday.

Zeke is enjoying the tour of countries in his history studies.

Graham and Angelina made Marian Grottos for art.  Just really enjoy Illuminated Ink art projects.

Zeke and his lego creations and Louis is on the go with anything that moves.  Thomas the Train is a big hit.

 

We were all entertained with another Awesome Magic Show by Graham, the Awesome Magician.  His assistant, the lovely, Angelina was dressed appropriately, as always.

The next five are of our family in various stages of getting ready for a family member’s wedding.  The wedding was on October 21 and we had a wonderful time seeing relatives.

 

Fun swimming at a hotel pool (we were in Fargo for a Bison game – they beat UNI and are #1).

I skipped a few, but those are another post.  My dad and I flew to CA for a wedding and had a great time.

Prepped a LOT of corn for freezing.

Magic show from the resident 5yo Awesome Magician (I’ll post a bigger display on this later!). 

The packaged corn is ready to freeze.

Cleaned my desk for the new school year.

 

Kids on the first day of school in 2011!

Everyone has a comedian, right??

Dash in his first, and so far only, JV football game.  He’s on the lower right – #66.  They won 22-0.
