We went to Iowa for Thanksgiving! With leaving on the 25th, we had wonderful fall-like weather to travel in, and made it to Iowa around 5:00 Wednesday night. Thursday was Thanksgiving, and everyone went to church. Gunnar enjoyed his 1st Thanksgiving, and was sporting his Baby's 1st Thanksgiving turkey outfit and bib! As usual, my Mom captured some great photos! Grandma & Grandpa Satter, Roger Carstens, Evan, Julie, Mom, Dad, Nathan & I ate a yummy Thanksgiving supper. After supper, Tim, Maureen, Craig, & Nikki Andresen came over to visit. What a wonderful time with family!
Here is Great Grandma Bonnie & Gunnar
Here is Grannie Annie & Gunnar wearing his 1st Thanksgiving outfit from her!
We had our first date night while in Iowa too! We hadn't gotten to go out as just "Nathan & Erica" so while we were home, my parents watched Gunnar for us, and we went to Cherokee for supper at the Ghausthouse. It was so fun, and I only caught myself ONCE talking about Gunnar, pretty good huh? :)
Here we are just before going out for our first time alone in over 7 months! Date night! Nathan has lost around 25 lbs and it shows, he looks great!
We also helped with Harvest while back home. Well, Nathan did most of the work, I was with Mom and Gunnar most of the time-ha! BUT, I did get to drive the new green combine with Evan's supervision! Thankfully, after we got home, they finished up corn harvest, the BEST they've ever had for a corn crop! Lots to be Thankful for this year!
We got home on Wednesday December 2nd, and that is when the COLD weather hit. As of this morning, we were at a balmy -19 degrees with -40 windchill...nice. Tomorrow we are heading to Rapid City with a trailer load of buffalo. Hopefully the temps rise a little bit, and I'm hoping to stop at a couple places for some shopping! We hope that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving, with Christmas sneaking up on us fast! Happy Holidays!
