Veteran's Day Assembly

There was a Veteran's Day Assembly at the kids school on Thursday morning. They were told to invite a veteran and Elyse was so excited to invite Grandpa Lindholm!  

 

Here is Elyse and Grandpa walking in together.

The kids sang several songs for the veterans - it was so cute and very moving. My mom and I both had to dig in our purses for some kleenex. They did a great job!

Elyse and Grandpa wait in line for the microphone.

Elyse did a great job introducing grandpa.

Grandpa tells about where he served.

It was a great assembly and I think it meant a lot to my dad and the other veterans that were able to attend. Thanks Dad! 

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween night, despite the chilly weather. We had everyone over at our house again and I had chili and pizza for dinner along with other snacks. After eating, all the kids got ready to go on our annual leaf ride and when we got back from that we went trick or treating around the neighborhood. We had hot apple cider (and wine!) to warm us up when we got back home.

 

Here is a picture of Elyse and Andrew at their school Halloween parade.  A leopard and a clone trooper.

What a fun night!
