Thanksgiving

We ended up spending Thanksgiving alone this year. It sure was quiet and it would not be true if we said we did not miss being with all our extended families and joining in all the fun they were having together. We did however make the most of our family time together. We played with Sophie’s large box house, and while I made a yummy Thanksgiving feast Stewart and Sophie played with technology.

During the month of November, as a family we decided to start a new tradition. I made a large tree using craft paper and hung it on the wall. I then cut out some leaves using scrapbooking paper, and as a family we wrote things we were thankful on them each day. We added them to the wall to look like they were falling off the tree. I thought it turned out pretty awesome, plus it was fun to read all of the things we were thankful for when we took them off the wall at the end of the month. 
Thankful Tree


For the love of Technology

Leaves Leaves Leaves

Stewart and Sophie sure did enjoy the fall foliage from our large Oak tree in the back yard. It was fun to watch them play in the leaves from a distance since I am allergic. I am glad Sophie has a good father who wants to spend time with her as much as possible and always makes time for her.

Family Pictures and Sophie's Two year Pictures

Back in October I arranged to have our family picture updated and some two year pictures of Sophie to be taken. The Dentist I worked for has a brother in-law that takes pictures professionally so I got his contact info and asked him to take our pictures. We traveled to Lewisburg, WV the morning of Saturdays session of General Conference took pictures and then drove home in time to catch the first session of conference (you can do that when you live the eastern time zone because conference does not start until 12:00 noon).  I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they turned out, he did such a great job plus he was fun to work with. Here are a few of our favorites; I love how he captured our little Sophie’s personality in them. Enjoy!
