ICE STORM/2015

This is a picture of our autumn blaze maple two weeks ago on the left and a picture of it today on the right.

Some more pictures of the ice on our trees. My daughter lost part of her tree in her front yard and was without power for a day. We never lost power. We live about 3 miles apart.

AUTUMN BLAZE MAPLE TREES

A few years ago we had three trees planted in our yard.  Two were Autumn Blaze maples.   I now realize how they got their name.  When ever you open the door, they look like they are a blaze.

ABBY AND KARLIE'S THANKSGIVING PROGRAM

Abby and Karlie had their Thanksgiving programs at school today. Karlie was a little Pilgrim and Abby was a little turkey. Both their Mom's did a really good job on making their costumes.   I sure am glad I didn't have to make costumes for my three girls when they were in school.

KARLIE'S BIRTHDAY/KC

Tracy, Melvin and I traveled to Kansas City this weekend to help Karlie celebrate

her 6th birthday. Kim,  Jamie and Abby also came. The party had a Frozen theme and was at Cosmic Jump.

 Abby with with Elsa.  Looks like I took more pictures of Abby than Karlie, the birthday girl.

Abby is performing a song for us that she will sing in her Christmas program.  Abby has a solo in this program at her church.

Lots of little girls and boys.

Kim and Jamie stayed in a hotel with an indoor pool.  Saturday night after the party, Carter and Karlie went over to swim in the pool with Abby.

HALLOWEEN 2015

We traveled to Arkansas this year for Halloween. For some reason Abby really wanted us to come.
Kim and Abby are dressed for the Fall Festival at church.  Kim is Sneezy and Abby is Snow White.
Kim was working one of the booths at the Festival.  Tracy and I also went to the Festival with them.

Aunt Tracy and Abby.

I even had my picture made with Abby.

Pap-pa has the candy bowl on his head so the husky(bad dog) wouldn't get the candy. He would just come and get the candy out of the bowl with his mouth.

After the Festival was over,  Kim and Tracy took Abby Trick-Or-Treating around their neighborhood.
