The Meeks Family

Today the kids decorated their Christmas stockings for this year.

2012 Christmas Stockings

Today we decorated the house for Christmas.  Two trees, one wreath, one garland and the fireplace are all dressed up and ready for the season.  Family photos were taken yesterday – hope to have those available to share soon.  Ho ho ho!

Christmas Tree #1

We spent the week of Thankgiving in Vincennes, IN.  We had lovely weather and enjoyed our time outside. We had a weenie roast across the street, played in the beautiful leaves and went to the Indiana Military Museum.  Oh – and we ate lots and lots of food!  Yum!

Tonight was Trick or Treat night in Davenport!  We saw a lot of great costumes, including a group of kids dressed up as the Smurfs!

Just a few pictures of some things we’ve been up to lately.   Hanging out, decorating for Halloween and baking “Flaky Owls”.

Happy Halloween!

Today Will and I went to the pumpkin patch.  They had lots of animals, crafts, pumpkins and gourds!

Today was yard work day.  Since we had so little rain this summer, the yard needs some help – extra top soil and grass seed.  Also, a new evergreen bush for the front of the house.

Another beautiful day, another hike in the park.  This time, at West Lake Park.

We went on another hike at Wildcat Den this weekend.  We all enjoyed it!
