Christmas Lights

 

Christkindl Market

Kris wanted to go to the Christkindl market for the silly mug. We headed after Maddie's VB.  We took the train into the city.

Maddie was a little tired and snoozed on the train

Haha!

Got our hot chocolate and mugs and had some lunch

4 x 4 Tourney

Maddie played in a 4 x 4 tournament and these were their shirts that made as uniforms.  They didn't win a lot but had a good time and looked sharp.

Happy Thanksgiving

 Papa is such a soft touch - somehow Kaitlyn gets the bigger part of the wishbone everytime!

Ranked #13 in Country

 

Happy Birthday to ME!

 Kris thought he was hilarious and had Kaitlyn add a +1 to his balloons for my birthday!

Some sneak peaks of the family pictures

Family Photo Day

Took a picture of the girls outside.  We met Ashley at a building downtown.  We took some urban type pictures and then we went to a bar that serves horseshoes.  Perfect day

Another Notre Dame Game

Kris, Hailey, Maddie, Quinn and I went to another Notre Dame game.  Hailey is obsessed with going to Notre Dame.  Right now it is the only college she wants to go to

We walked down to the Grotto to check it out and went into the basillica

Quinn and Hailey ditched us partway through to go to the student section with his sister Kylie

Kaitlyn is totally into flutes and being a flautist so we showed her some in the band (even though they are piccolos)

Jon Bon Jovi was at our game!

Christmas Jammies

 Meanwhile - these 2 are in their Christmas Jammies

Wisconsin Volleyball Game

 Quinn's sister Joslyn (Montini Grad) and fun fact - Hailey shadowed her at Montini- plays Volleyball for Wisconsin who is ranked like #3 in the country.  Quinn brought her to this game.  She had a great time

State Pep Rally

 Celebration continues with a pep rally at school.  Girls all were announced and walked to the front of the gym.  

Happy Birthday Kris

Kris made some smart alec remark about if he was going to get his age in balloons for his birthday when I was setting Kaitlyn's up - so guess what - he got his balloons!  Happy Birthday Dork

These were some gifts made by Kaitlyn.  One is a button that says Best Dad Award and the other is a chocolate bar that she put Dad in sprinkles.  She was so proud of her gifts

Kris wanted to go to Gibsons for dinner so I embarrassed him by telling them it was his birthday!

We had to celebrate with turtle pie the next day
