Festive outings and new hats

Taking advantage of the early risers

The "babies" wake up much earlier than the older kids so we grabbed the three youngest and managed to get out of the house for a quick breakfast at Cadillac Cafe. We got there shortly after it opened at 6 a.m. Har and I wanted to spend some time with a couple of our girls at someplace that was special to them. It happened to be Alyssa and Logan's 5th anniversary that day as well so we had something extra special to celebrate.

Lyssa is trying to get Katie to drink formula. She is pretty good with a sippy cup but this bottle thing didn't work so well. While Garrett looks like he can hardly wait for his breakfast.

Henry was not grumpy though he looks like it here. He was eating a banana that his mom brought along to keep him from getting too hungry.

I snapped a couple of pictures in the restaurant. They have done such a nice job of decorating for the season. My favorites are the pink Christmas trees.

Hayden and me

I took a picture of Hayden and some random guy's reflections in the fireplace glass door. Hayden and I were having coffee and getting ready for the commute back to town after dropping Wyatt off at school.

Hats of the Season

I wanted Wyatt, Genevieve and Danika to have Santa hats since Rowan and Katie each have one. I found these 3 at Walgreens. So fun! Katie's new hat was purchase by her mom this morning. Isn't she an adorable little owl!

Mini Garage

Har and I were able to pick up the floor model of this 10ft x 20 ft canopy from Costco at a great discount. Having this is going to enable Har to work on our vehicles without getting totally soaked this winter. It's a pretty cool little shanty.

Hayden and Har got it basically put up a couple of weeks ago but they still needed to put the side closest to the house on and the end toward the road. They got it all buttoned up today. I'm sure Harlan isn't thrilled that both our vehicles need work but he is happy that he has a nice place to work on them now.
