November Blessings!

How cute are these hats! Thanks Aunt KuKu!

We are so far behind in our posts I decided to post pictures with a little explanation following. We'll catch up in December.

Family dinner for Mike's parents 50th wedding anniversary! It is amazing to be married for 50 years! Mike and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary this year and it is still hard to image being married for 30 more years to reach 50! (It already seems like we've know each other forever!) What a nice example to have in our family of the longevity of a relationship.

Happy 50th Anniversary Mom and Dad!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

We don't have any pictures of our Thanksgiving (can you believe we forgot to take pictures of Molly's first turkey day!) We spent Thanksgiving day at home, just the five of us. We had a traditional turkey dinner, which Molly said was good. She was a little bit taken aback by the turkey, but not squemish about eating it. We do have shots of the girls at the Holiday lights parade. Here in Gahanna, the first Saturday after Thanksgiving is the parade. It is a lighted parade held just after dark. Nathan has marched in the parade every year it has been held, first with Cub Scouts, now with the band. It was a chilly evening (in the 30s) but Molly was having quite a hard time in the cold. You notice Faith isn't too cold - she can still take her glove off to comfort herself with those fingers!

These last pictures are of the girls eating some Lo Mein. Molly is great with her chopsticks, but I haven't quite figured out how she makes them work the way that she holds them. Faith desperately wants to figure out how to use them, but just can't master 2. She tries first with one, then tries with her finger chopsticks! They had a great time laughing at each other.

Molly's great with these, as you can see!

Faith has given up on the pair, just trying to pick up noodles using one.
