Well one night I sent her to the bathroom and she found the scissors. My mom says it is all preventative measures.  But I disagree. Some kids are not preventable.  In my defense the scissors were in the case with the clippers and put up in the closet.  Doesn't help with this one . . .  

She had three little ponytails in the front of her hair this day. She cut right at the elastics leaving an awesome mullet.  I didn't take pictures because I didn't want her thinking any part of this was okay.  But I called Kendra for an emergency hair cut and she got these after she took the elastics out.  I probably should have got one with the elastics in because it showed just how bad it was, but I just couldn't at the time.  

I guess we'll still keep her!  

 Then some basketball.  

 I kind of stopped taking pictures at this point in the day, but the dinner was good and then we relaxed and watched The Grinch with the kids. 

Friday we all went skeet shooting.  

 We discovered that Sagan is a dead eye with the shotgun.  (yes I know that's not a shotgun in her hand.)

 Then we headed up to the mountain to hunt down some trees.  It was such a warm nice day.  Lunch was like a spring picnic. 

 This one works great for the basment!

 Our very own lumber jack!

Although I like to cook and love to eat, I have never loved Thanksgiving.  But this year I really enjoyed the spirit of the season. We were asked to speak in church the Sunday before on gratitude. I think this helped me really feel grateful for all that I have.  I am truly so very blessed. 

Before the party we gave him some dinner.  He had to eat with his tractors of course.  

The cupcakes and cake. 

 The kids made a "Happy Birthday" sign out of mud.  

Then we stacked hay bales on a trailer.  Sienna won all of the older kids!!

Kade was very interested in this game. 

 Then we raced tractors without using hands or feet!

 And blew out the candles.
