Yikes

Yikes, It's the middle of December, where has time gone?? I have lots of pictures to update you with. Enjoy.

Today, we went to Rachel's school to watch her Christmas parade. If you were to ask her what she was in the parade, she would tell you, "a box." :) Actually, she was a gift....a gift from God. It was so sweet. She did a great job in her parade!

RACHEL'S CHRISTMAS PARADE

Lots of proud parents and family members were at the parade.

BILLY GRAHAM CHRISTMAS

We went to the Billy Graham Library and rode on a carriage ride, saw a live nativity, and got to walk around. It was cold and raining. We had a good time!

At first, Rachel was not happy! She ate some crackers and then felt much better.

THANKSGIVING!

We had a great Thanksgiving with family. We ate a lot and shopped a lot. It was a nice break from the daily routines. We have so much to be thankful for.

Rachel made her Thanksgiving shirt at school.

She also made a Pilgrim (girl) hat.

GINGERBREAD TURKEY COOKIES WITH GRAMMY!

Rachel and Grammy made Gingerbread Turkey cookies for Thanksgiving. They were yummy. Rachel had to "test" the dough to make sure it tasted right. ;)

DATE WITH DAD

Rachel and Wes took a Saturday afternoon to check out a new museum in town. They seemed to have a great time. Rachel got to explore a lot of new things. She shopped in the grocery store, climbed the play area, was a doctor, and she put on a costume and performed on stage.

Rachel's big performance!

BATH TIME!

Rachel was playing in the bathtub and said, "Mommy- look,I'm a turtle!"

Rachel loves to hang out with her cousin, Alyssa.

MOUNTAINS WITH THE MARTIN'S

We went to the mountains with the Martin's at the end of October. It was cold.
The kids had fun!
