We started the month of November off by heading to Washington D.C. for a wedding! We went a few days early to see the sights! We rented a beautiful brownstone that was very centrally located (two blocks from the Capitol). It allowed us to walk EVERYWHERE!
The ND statue in the State Capitol.
We had the pleasure of meeting Nana and Papa in D.C. Who doesn't like a ride on a carousel at the zoo?!?
"Nana, this is the BEST thing ever!"
When in the city...
D.C. has a very nice zoo.
(Fernie is NOT happy about something...)
I love this picture!
There was great service at the White House.
Finally the wedding! Caroline is with Nana and Papa at the kid's table eating her weight in applesauce and dessert!
This fall I had the pleasure of attending Fernie's fall school party. We did crafts, played games, sang songs and ate yummy snacks.
We have had the best fall/winter weather! I can't believe we were out in November and December in short-sleeves and light jackets! Pretty sure Jack would stay outside all day and play football if we would let him.
"I love life!!"
Jack is always up for a game of P-I-G with Dad.
A little family game of croquet...seriously this weather!
Jack and Fernie are doing very well in AWANA. Jack has completed his book and has done his book review ALREADY!! He received a new book this week and is already hard at work.
One of my favorite things about this time of year - Ringing the Salvation Army bell. I had a great helper again this year.
When Dad's away someone has to take his place for reading!
I also had the pleasure of attending Jack's fall party. This one was a bit more elaborate with a full Thanksgiving meal!
We had some VERY special Thanksgiving guests - the cousins!!! The girls did crafts and played dolls while the boys played sports the ENTIRE time! (Fernie and Caroline were terrified of the "alien")
What a crew!
On December 4 we celebrated our princess turning 4! She is just a bit excited!
Fernie was ecstatic to receive a leotard and tutu from Papa and Nana.
Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! We love you MORE than you will ever know.
Last week Jack had his Christmas program. Have you ever seen a cuter sheep?!?
As we enter my favorite time of year, I pray we will all remember the reason for the season. What an amazing gift we have all been given.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
