Precious Blossom...

This sweet girl loves to help in anyway possible. 

She had the cutest disposition while washing these potatoes. 

 Such joy!  The simple task of washing potatoes to help out.  

What you pray over your children can truly have an impact.  

The Nutcracker Ballet...

Blossom and I have been planning for the Nutcracker for almost a year.  We've read stories and watched little movies.  We've talked about getting dressed up, going out to dinner and then going to watch the ballet. And that is exactly what we did Saturday November 26th.

 

At almost 3 years old, Blossom did talk through the entire performance but so did some other little ones. She has so many questions about everything.  Next year we'll go to another production of the Nutcracker.  Hopefully she won't talk quite as much during the actual performance.   I'd like to work us up to the ballet in Seattle in a few years.  I'm so excited!

Thanksgiving 2016...

 Thanksgiving at my Mom's is always a special day.  She sets a beautiful table.

 And cooks a pretty turkey.

This Thanksgiving was a little smaller than the past.  We were missing our friends Tim & Jean and our Grandma Patty and Uncle Chuck. 

Great Wolf Lodge 2016...

This place does not get old for us. 

This was our 4th time here and this time we spent it with my brother and his family from Oregon.  Having family to share a great place with makes it even more special.   

 We love Great Wolf Lodge!
