Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hello my dear 10 readers!
Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful traditional Thankgiving,
eating and doing all of our favorite things!

We spent the weekend watching movies with the Thomander cousins

going on hikes and to the beach with school friends 

potty-training Colton!!!

Eating delicious food

and being with our favorite people, including new cousin Greysen!

More photos from spending Thanksgiving weekend together

Wow, we also got a free meal at the opening of the American Girl Store!  We didn't hold back in our ordering, neither did our American Girl dolls that Mia was kind enough to lend us!

The dolls appreciated a free trip to the hair salon for a new 'do and ribbons

This one doll below was especially relaxed!

Thank you Renee!  Renee is my children's' god-mother, or maybe just fairy godmother.  She spoils all of us and we love her and her family!  We loved our free and memorable trip to the American Girl Store!

My last set of pictures, the end of fall sports.  Anna had a great season of soccer on her club team, Juventus.  She made 4 goals this season, not easy at this level, and looked great as a forward and midfielder.

Catching up on photos every month is a great project.  I loved these from Ella's school site from her last field trip.

Ella finished her season.  She had a lot of growth and even tried out for, and made, the Winter Select Team!  She also made the Pre-Olympic Team for gymnastics.  Yay Ella!  Here are some pictures from the team Party.  Eric was the coach again.  We love him coaching the girls.  We're so lucky to have him be so involved with the kids.  Thank you Eric!
