Girls Night



I was able to take Amelia out for a girls night as a last date before the baby comes.  A friend and I set up this event in October.  We took our girls to Greenville to see Disney on Ice, classic princess edition.  It was so much fun.  We took the girls to Applebees first and then to the center where the show was.  Neither of us told our girls beforehand what we were going to do, so you can imagine their excitement when the lights went down and Mickey and Minnie skated out to announce the show!

Thanksgiving

Realizing that Christmas will be here soon, I wanted to get in a blog about our wonderful Thanksgiving.

We started off with the very untraditional Thanksgiving traditions of tamales and guacamole as we celebrated with my ESL class!

Followed by the more traditional and yet very messy feast with our Mommies and Little People group.





Then we celebrated some birthdays: Sarah-3; Kaleb-5; Tucker-4; and David, well the pies say it all!

We were very happy to share this Thanksgiving with David's grandparents from Washington State.  Here they are with a portion of their great-grandchildren.

In Pa's defense there were 8 pies!
It was a wonderful time of celebration for us all!
