History project

 Stephen worked hard on this history project...The Battle of Fredericksburg.

St. Nicholas Day

 We had a super busy morning, so we had to wait until the afternoon to open stockings together. We were so thankful to catch Austin before he left town for a work trip but missed Allia who came later that evening.

Happy Birthday, Cecilia!

 My baby is 6! (Time is such a thief).

Since her birthday fell on Saturday, we invited her friends and their families for a birthday lunch celebration. It was tons of fun. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends to celebrate with!

She opened one of her family gifts beforehand so they could play with it at the party...

Her sweet older siblings decorated her door and hallway so she had a fun surprise when she woke up. 💗

We opened the rest of her gifts after the party, including a karaoke machine from Lita. What a hit for our little girl who loves to sing and perform (and maybe her Daddy too!).

Bike Riding

 Thanks to Pawpaw's bike shop, our bikes are up and running after a summer of neglect during the move. So fun, and the weather has been so nice for riding (well, in between cold fronts).

Happy Thanksgiving

 We hosted Thanksgiving this year and had Fr. Albert, Lito and Lita, Pawpaw and Manah, & Mike and Becky freshly back from a trip to Europe! It was a lovely meal and great time together. I just love the holidays!

So sweet!

The girls saw the head of Little Wranglers at Mass, so they stopped for a photo.

Christmas at the Mall Performance

 Gloria and her partner performed at the mall this evening and helped lead the parade welcoming "Santa". Sebastian and Cecilia tagged along, and we had a great time!
