5 on Friday

1.  On Saturday Nick ran the Living History Farms off-road race with my sister.   From the sound of if, they had fun and are planning to run again next year.

2. Monday Nick and I set out of a shopping day.  We filled the Pilot and had to go home to unload before heading back out.   I would call that a success.   I think we have 3 more gifts to buy for Christmas and we are done.

3.  We put lights up on the outside of our house for the first time!   And I found garland for on top of the kitchen cabinets, something I was frustrated I could not find last year (or at least what I wanted).   The tree is up, stocking hung (including Genevieve's that arrived on Wednesday) and presents are wrapped.   Christmas music was playing through the speakers today and Ellie is loving all of it.

4. We had a great Thanksgiving in Ames with Nick's side of the family yesterday.   It is always great to get everyone together.

5. On Sunday we made Kumla for my sister and her family.   This is a tradition we got from Nick's side of the family and we try to make it when we are off during Thanksgiving week.
