I thought it was a bit early to find a tree, but Eric wanted to go get one. This was our first time getting an actual Christmas tree in I think 9 years. We had been cutting down firs on our property that were way too close to our septic mound. But those have all been cleaned up now. We found a perfectly sized tree to fit into our nook area. I rearranged the furniture in that area and it worked out great.

Golfing with Dad
This time Eric took both Tommy and Jake golfing. Jake had never gone before but had heard about driving the golf cart. Jake mostly did putting. Tommy looked to have a rough day on his swing.

Thanksgiving
The family requested that we host Thanksgiving at our house. So we figured out all the set-up for the table and the leaves and such. We had never eaten a meal at it. We were short a few chairs so we had them bring folding chairs. I prepped most of the food the day before so things would be less stressful and also so there would be less to clean up while people were there. Jake helped me out a little while in the kitchen. It was a nice mellow Thanksgiving, watching the parade and dog show while prepping food. We were able to fit everyone in with the boys eating at the bar. We have much to be thankful for.

Turkey Trot
This is our families last Turkey Trot. Jake was excited about it. He wore his dad's track jersey just like Tommy did. I saw him coming around the bend and he looked like he was working really hard. And he put a big burst on at the finish. After the race he didn't look so great though. He pushed himself pretty hard. He recovered though.

Tommy's Last Soccer Game and Party
Tommy had his last soccer game today. He was pretty bummed. He played goalie second half. And he let in one tough goal that he probably had no chance of getting. And then about a minute before the end of the game he let in a second goal that just tipped of the top of his hands. He was pretty upset about it. He really thought he should have had it even though it was still a tough shot. Him and his team really wanted this game. The team they were playing was undefeated. But it did end up in a tie. So they can't be too upset. Their team ended up 3rd in the league. That were pretty happy with that. They also had a part afterwards at Round One. That place was huge and slightly overwhelming. But the had a good time.
I have been so busy running back and forth between games this fall I have had a hard time even keeping track of how the games are going. But Tommy had a great season. He scored some goals this season, which he was excited about. And the team did pretty good. Here are all the pictures from the season.
