Thanksgiving #5

We got some snow. I finally get to shovel:

and make snow angels:

and ski. Yes, I am cheating on the uphills:

I do the pulling on the downhills, so Dad can keep up:

I love the snow, but our hedgehogs are not happy to be buried:

First day of ‘pine skiing:

Nan and Pop are here!

You think you’re the boss of this job, Pop? Wha ha ha.

Oh, yes. The snowman has beer bottle arms. The Bigs go out for a ski, and Pop and I get a little crazy.

We had turkey for Thanksgiving. And every meal since. Spatchcocked, grilled Narragansett turkey:

Monkey Face

Making some brownies:

Testing the batter:

Yup. It’ll do.

The Bigs said to match the socks

Both Batman.

Yup. That’ll do.

Scrambled eggs for breakfast. Nine eggs, no shells!

Hiking at Smith Rock. This way to Monkey Face, Dad.

Monkey Face!

Getting ready for the movie:

Movie time!

Ninja training:

Poutine

Man of many hats this week. Artist:

Chef:

Santa:

Santa + reindeer:

Santa + reindeer + sleigh + deliveries (I do not mess around):

I took the Bigs mountain biking. We went to the Flaming Chicken:

Then I took them to Monkless for dinner (look at the view from their heated deck!):

It was, in fact, 100% monk free. And, they had beer on the kids’ menu:

Poutine with a poached egg:

Moules:

Belgian Frikadellen meatballs:

Meatballs? Yes, please:

And, of course, beer:

Wild Animals

I’ve been making popsicles lately. Thanks, Nana!

Meera came over to play this weekend. Here I am waiting for her to show up:

Wild animals:

We did some construction:

some ladder climbing:

and some popsicle eating:

My new bed finally has a proper comforter and some planet sheets:

Halloween #5

The Bigs are working on getting the blog fixed. Finally, you get to see my Halloween costume. Guess what I was:

Correct.

I hit all of the houses in our neighborhood and got quite a haul. I’ll add it to my candy left over from last Halloween.

We’ve been doing some fall yard cleanup lately. Here I am helping with the leaves:

Enjoying the nice fall weather at Grassy Pump Track:

I go over the big jumps now:

Bridge riding:

Trying out my Eastern-European look:
