Great job Alayna!!

Alayna has always received great feedback from teachers and every year we're told that she's the helper listed for the sub if her teacher is ever gone. 

Since this is my blog and the information in here will be included in my blog books I wanted to include this letter we received today.  She received this last year too and we're so proud of her leadership and example in her classes.  We love you Alayna-loo....with or without this letter we love you and we're proud of you!!

November

Well, I have obviously NOT gotten the hang of updating my blog again.  Oh well, here's a few highlights of the month though unfortunately I'm missing lots of other fun that we've had, I just don't have pictures to show for it.

Due to Dan's mom being out of the country a lot of December we opted to have an early Christmas...before Thanksgiving even.  It was a fun, family filled weekend!  Here are a few special pics!

 (ummm, yes that is my husband with facial hair.  No shave November is officially  NOT my favorite month!)  :)

Thanksgiving weekend I had the opportunity to see a dear friend and her baby.  I was there when sweet Violet was born and so it was fun to see her again and to catch up with her mommy.  I took baby 'C' with me so we have some sweet pics with the babies.  They are 6 weeks apart so it was fun to have mini play date! :)

 We've been friends for 15 years and have been through many of life's ups and downs together.  Now we live nearly 1000 miles apart so it's a treat when we get to spend time together.  Thanks for making time to connect!!
