This was the first snow we had this year. It was barely enough to play in and it melted pretty quickly, but as you can see the girls thoroughly enjoyed it. I tried to upload a video, but it didn't work. In it Julia falls a bunch of times and then sticks her face in it to eat it. You can see that in one of the pictures, though. In the picture where she's sticking out her tongue, she kept trying to catch it. I just loved watching them play in it.

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. It was a last minute decision, but we decided to go out to Virginia for Thanksgiving with Marc's parents this year. My parents went down to see Adam and Gloria. We had a great time with Melanie and her family. Melanie is a great cook, so the dinner was fabulous. We spent the days after eating leftovers. We also did a little Christmas shopping on Friday. We got to go to Josh's football game on Saturday, which I forgot to bring my camera to. Then we went to a park were they had animals you could feed and had a great time walking around there.
As you can see the kids kept wanting to wrestle with Marc. Julia kept getting in the middle and we thought she was going to get hurt. We had a wonderful time and Natalie love spending time with cousins. I am also happy to report that since that trip Natalie is fully potty trained. It was a very long process, but I think it helped to see that Sam was doing it. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I'm sure grateful for it. My only regret from the trip is that I didn't get a picture with all of us in it. Thanks Mel and Fam for a great time!

Here are some pictures of Paxton's blessing. This is one of the joys of living close to family, we get to go to these kinds of things. Andy did such a great job with the blessing and Terica did a good job of making everyone look cute. There was a dinner together afterward which was fun too.

So, I haven't updated my blog in a while and a few things have happened since. First of all I like many did get to see Twilight, twice. Once with Terica and once with Marc and our friends Ben and Becca. I LOVED it! I liked it even better the second time. The only thing I could critize is I wish it was 2 hours longer. Yes I know, a little extreme, but I didn't want it to end. I have since read some other blogs and opinions about it and others noticed things about it I didn't. I guess I just loved the book and loved being able to see it on screen.
