Thankful

The deer hunt 2017 was another success ~ Danny dressed the part in hopes to bring on some good luck to Av n Dan
Really mom?
Well it must have worked......Av is now 5 for 5 in successful deer hunts.
We held Thanksgiving here at the house this year.  It was so nice to not have to travel this year.

Dan decided to get braces on so the next 18 months he's going to enjoy  A LOT of soft foods.  Maybe when they come off he'll show his teeth when he smiles ~ LOL
Av continues to dive with the club daily.  They have their first dive meet of the season mid January in Brown Deer, WI.  She's very excited to get back on the 3M board.
It's so cool to see your kid in the paper!!
The newspaper was at the pool last week to do a photo shoot on an article about her winning Athlete of the Year, once it's published I will let you know.  Stay tuned for the link!
Av was also nominated to win the Wisconsin Top Prep Athlete Award, the banquet isn't till May.  It will be awhile before we find out if she has won.  I will keep you posted!

 I would like to introduce the newest member of our family...... LACY.  She's over 1 years old and is a yorkie terrier mix.  I picked her up mid November from a local shelter who rescued her from a high killer shelter in Kentucky.  She had an eye injury that despite treatment couldn't be saved so her eye had to be removed, but that does NOT slow this lil sweet pea down at all.  She doesn't miss a beat and has been my tail since we brought her home.
 She adores Danny!  They LOVE to snuggle
 That doesn't look comfortable ~ she is VERY skinny so we are working on filling out her significant hour glass figure.  The rest of the pack is loving the extra treats and now since has to go on a diet ~ LOL
There was NO adjustment period needed with her "siblings".  They LOVED her and welcomed her to the pack with NO ISSUES, I guess it was meant to be.  I'm amazed!!  She's been a wonderful addition to our family
I got my last cover up done last week ~ Danny's tattoo.  Jake from Neenah Electric Tattoo once again did amazing work, I love it!!

This last weekend we held Danny's 14th Birthday party at the roller rink.  OMG Danny is going to be 14!!
We were honored to have Santa come and join in our celebrations.  His been to every party we've had (minus 2 years one for an operation and another due to an illness).  Santa is a definitely the highlight of our parties.  
  Naughty or Nice?
 LOVE
 Jaden n Av
 Josh, Danny's PT came to the party too.....and he even put on skates!
These two are absolutely adorable!!  Ms Maggie is so sweet, I just wanted to put her in my pocket and take her home
Awe ~ now doesn't that just melt your heart
Santa is always willing to do individual and family photos with our party guests.
We are so blessed to have friends come help celebrate another wonderful year of Danny!!

Our tree this year!  We downs sized this year as we are not going to be around much so I thought we'd give this guy a try.  Isn't it cute?
From our family to yours  ~ Merry Christmas and A Happy m Healthy New Year!
