Thanksgiving 2014

We celebrated Thanksgiving at our house this year with some friends.

 I woke up early and went running with some of my friends and then Rebecca & I watched the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade and the Dog Show.

Dinner Time!!

After dinner we took a few pictures and then played Ping-Pong.

I can't believe it is November already! Where does the time go??

Rebecca at AWANA  practicing her Bible verses.

It was "wear your pajamas to school day" last week.

I joined an online exercise challenge for the month of November. Hoping to not an extra million

pounds from all the holiday treats and food.

Worst picture, but I took it at 5am while I was running :)

Part of the challenge is to document what type of exercises I do.

I have been running with a group of ladies and we meet at 5am to run.

They are all so nice and running is more fun with friends!

Glory, halleluiah-- soccer is almost over!!

It is starting to get cold and windy here and have to bundle up for the

early morning soccer games.

At the park.

There was no school on Tuesday because of elections, so we went  to the mall

 to see a movie. They were putting together the giant Christmas tree out in the

courtyard area when we walked in. By the time we left, the tree was done.

Our wonderful and brave pest control guy- Mr. Rick

The bunch of yellow jackets decided to move in, so Rick has been here trying

to kill them for us.

I have been doing a Bible study on Hospitality from SheReadsTruth  this month.

So, so good!

 

We love because He loves us.

We welcome because He welcomes us.

We invite because He invites us.

 

 

Saw this magazine cover at the store.

The cutest little chicken ever!!

 

Happy Halloween 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

Monday after school, we carved our pumpkins. The girls were much more

interested and helpful in the process this year.

We were talking and decided that Halloween always needs to be on a Friday night- makes it a lot more fun. The girls were excited all day to get ready for trick-or-treating.

                                                               Rachel was a Spanish dancer.

This is the group we started with- Elsa, Daniella, Rachel, Hillary and Rebecca. By the end of the night we ended up with a different group of friends, but it all worked out. We saw A LOT of little girls dressed up like Elsa from Frozen.

 The big scary house in the neighborhood.

 This year the girls checked the decorations a lot more closely.
