Thanksgiving 2010

One morning as I was taking the trash out, I looked up & saw I was a few feet away from a big buck. I was taken by surprise to say the least. Sometimes when it snows a lot we can see what looks like deer tracks in our yard, but I never understood how they got there and of course have never seen one. Well  I have now...

In the fall we decided to try to start going to more "local attractions" in our city that we've never been to.  The Western Mining Museum was on of our stops...

For Thanksgiving we went to Utah to stay with Nate's family.  We always enjoy our time there.  Here's Ty & Kinners having some snuggle time with Grandpa Lincoln

We got quite a bit of snow while we were there.  The kids took advantage.

We tried REALLY hard to get some decent pictures of all the Lincoln grandkids, but with this baker's dozen- it was near impossible.  They'll be one more joining us in July (from Nate's sister Karen).

We had a blast at a close-by jump place, trying to find a good place for the kids to use some of their pent-up energy.

Grandma and Grandpa Lincoln taking a little break :)

Nate's brother is a volunteer firefighter in Saratoga Springs & he let the kids put on some of his gear.  It wasn't exactly a perfect fit, but the kids sure loved it!

We were also entertained as some of the cousins put on a musical review.  Complete with costumes &and scene changes :)

 While the other kids were doing that....Colton was doing this....!!

 He got into some really nice paints of our sister-in-law's mother's.  She's an artist, but assured us they wouldn't be too harmful :)  I guess you could call Colton an artist too ;)  Instead of canvas, he uses his mouth as the medium.

Here's the newest addition to the Lincoln clan, baby Disney (Nate's brother's baby girl #6).
