Happy Birthday Baby Blue-eyes

 

Fifteen years old for this incredible child of mine!  Natalie is wise beyond her years, competent, kind and and quickly becoming one of my very best friends.  A special birthday for a most remarkable girl! 

 A Balmy Thanksgiving

We decided to switch it up in a big way this year and headed to California to see the amazing Sedgwick family.  This is part of our family that we just don't get to see enough and so we decided to change that this year!  We had such a fun time staying with them and watching the kids become better friends.  Thanksgiving day was so enjoyable spending time cooking, listening to music and enjoying the traditional feast together.  Once the holiday wrapped up we headed to Knott's Berry Farm to kick off Christmas.  It was so festive and fun--lots of holiday shows and time well spent together.  So glad we made the time to change things up and spend a week in sunny California with people we love.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This one felt a little like going through the motions--as is evident by the oldest two (& me) protesting the get-up.  Thanks to A & E for keeping our traditions alive!  Bring on Christmas!

Great to be 8!

Such a fun memory maker being baptized with your cousin! These girls were as cute as could be thanks to Jessica who hunted down the dresses and make their hair look gorgeous!  The day was wonderful-- with all the grandparents in town and lots of family support.  Sad to see this day end since -- no more 8 year old in my house. Happy Baptism Day Alexis and Camille.  Jesus loves you!

Sunny Celebrations!

Happy Birthday to my babies! Cake, cousins, presents and a pool --doesn't get better than that! Stay little you precious little people.
