Audrey swinging in the yard

On Saturday, Grandpa Keith came over and helped Dad put up her new swing up. Here is a few videos of Audrey swinging away.

Aud picks out her first Christmas Tree

Today, Audrey went to the Christmas Tree farm to look for a Christmas Tree. This will be her mommy and daddy's fifth tree in Ada, which shocks them immensely.

Anyhow, after a morning drive to Rockford on winding, snow-covered road - we found the tree farm. The Thurston's were underwhelmed at the selection of concolor fir trees. So, Team Thurston drove back to the Cascade area and got the gigantic tree that we get each year - from the little lot behind the liquor store.

Just a beautiful tree that had to be squeezed through the door. The great thing about concolor fir trees are that they smell like oranges. In fact, our entire house now smells of oranges. No lights or ornaments on the tree yet, but that will occur after the Lions game tomorrow.

Audrey at the Ada Covered Bridge

Today, Mommy and Daddy took the Aud on a picnic. We went to Blimpies and ordered sub sandwiches and, some potato chips. We took our lunch to a park in Ada that resides on the Grand River. The Ada Covered Bridge crosses that river, and we thought Audrey would enjoy it.
