75 Days Till the Christmas Lights Go On

The boys have been working on the Christmas light display this weekend. They are adding 4,000 more twinkling lights this year.

Wonder what this will be????

Dylan had the fun job of taking all of the lights out of the boxes and making sure they work.

I can't wait to see what's new at the Arnott Family Light Show.

75 more days till the show and the party will be Saturday Dec. 5th.

Snow and Company

Tonight we enjoyed a night of yummy frozen adult beverages at  Snow and Company with our friends Chris and Kelly.  

This one was called the Rockefeller.

Look at our pretty frozen beverages!

Thanks Kelly for buying a groupon for me for my birthday to Snow and Company.  That was a great gift and I am glad I got to enjoy it with you and Chris.

Apple Picking at Cider Hill Family Orchard

We went apple picking for the first time this morning.  We went to Cider Hill Family Orchard and took a wagon ride to go pick the apples.  We also drank apple cider and fed the ducks.

Me trying to pick my first apple.

Dylan was pretty good at it.

Eating an apple right off the tree!

Michael could get the ones that were really high on the tree.

There were hundreds of apple trees at the orchard.

There were also lots of apples just sitting on the ground.

These apples were sweet and delicious.

We even picked one with the leaf still on.

Apple picking with my boy!!

Feeding the ducks

When we got home, Dylan and I made apple crisp and cheesy cinnamon apple dog treats for Mason.

Working hard on the apple crisp

I am trying to read the recipe to make sure we have everything.

Mason sniffing his dog treats.

They looked disgusting.

Mason loved his treats and Dylan loved the apple crisp.

We have lots of apples left so I might go make an apple cake now.
