Hanging out with the cousins!

My cousin, Kevin, is in the Navy and currently on a ship somewhere near Dubai. His wife, Colleen and his son Noah live in San Diego and came up to visit for Thanksgiving. Noah is 10 months old and super cute. We had dinner at my cousin Carrie's on Sunday night with her family, Colleen and Noah, and my Aunt Kathy and Uncle David.

She looks angry, but she loved her earrings. She wanted to wear them to daycare today.

...did I mention she loves him?

Look at those little teeth!

Could he be cuter?!

Hugs!

Jacob and Noah! Cuties!

Christmas Lights!

Yay, it's almost Christmas time! Bill put up the Christmas lights yesterday. They look great.

They missed their Daddy...

Bill spent a week in North Carolina for work. He got home on November 18th, just in time for Libby's birthday party the next day. The girls missed their daddy and spent most of the afternoon on Sunday the 20th with him like this:

Trip to North Bend!

We went to North Bend for Thanksgiving this year. Unfortunately, while we were out and about, I forgot the camera, so all of these were taken on my phone. First, we stopped by Pony Village to do a little shopping with Grandma and ran into the Grinch! Abby was excited to have her picture taken with him (and some other random kid), but Libby wouldn't go near him and stayed attached to my leg the whole time! Then, we went to lunch at Yeong's (great burgers!) and then took the kids to see "Puss In Boots", which was very cute. The last stop on our adventure was the lights at Shore Acres.


Cheese!

Abby and Libby couldn't wait to see Santa in the bathtub again this year.

New attractions this year, included the hummingbird (with "moving" wings) and the sailing ship.
