A November Wedding

Our neighbors, Pamela and German, got married this past Monday in a private family ceremony.  They invited close friends for a reception at their home after the wedding.  We are very lucky to have Pamela and German as neighbors and were honored to attend their celebration.  We are excited for this new stage in their lives!

Oh Christmas Tree

We picked our Christmas tree this weekend.  Harper was very excited to be part of the decision making process.  She helped us pick the perfect tree!
  
Christmas tree shopping!
    
    
    
    
Harper made sure to evaluate each tree before making her decision.
    
She got a little overwhelmed with the responsibility.  
    
    
Merry Christmas!
    
    
  
On Comet and Cupid! 
    
Harper was a big helper with the tree lights.
    
    
    
    
Our neighbors have a huge teddy bear in their yard.
   
All finished!

Thankful for Eighty Years of Grandma

My Grandma celebrated her eightieth birthday this November.  Grandma's birthday wish was for her family to celebrate Thanksgiving together.  Chris and Paul came all the way from Illinois and Colin made the trip down from New York.  We all stayed at Sunset Beach in North Carolina.  I had Thanksgiving day off this year and was able to come for a quick trip.  Alex and Harper stayed half of the week.  Harper was very excited to meet Chris, Paul and Colin.  She was very fond of her Aunt Chrissy :)  It was a very special vacation and an amazing Thanksgiving for the books.
