Happy Thanksgiving, visiting, and Christmasing!




































What a busy month it has been! Chrissy and Russell came over for a quick visit and I was finally able to give Avarie her 3 months late birthday present. Tanner seemed to be more interested in it than her at that moment. I have been reassured that she totes it around the house now!


Thanksgiving was busy. We bought a turkey friar and I have been told it tasted amazing. The Gaskins and the missionaries joined us for dinner.


Tim and Rachel Watson were in town for a week. Tanner and Julia had fun stealing each other's stuff including toys, pacifiers, and as shown in the pictures bottles.


Tanner has a new trick. The car seat was sitting by the front door and Tanner decided to pull himself all the way up! I was so proud! It was a HUGE milestone for him!


I am on the activities committee at church and we'd been planning our Christmas party for several weeks. I spent all day Saturday at the church setting up with my super fabulous crew and the stage looked AWESOME! The high lite for the kids was the appearance of Santa. I couldn't get Tanner to sit by himself so Kelani sat with him. The activity proved to be a huge success. The best compliment I received was that the kids were not even tempted to run around the cultural hall!
