Thanksgiving Day

We were excited to have Livy spend the day with us on Thanksgiving this year.

At Mama Flo's house - Livy and Allie check on the dinner preparations.

These two have a lot of fun together.  Here they are writing letters to each other.

The girls and David make silly faces for David's camera.

A lot of cooks in the kitchen!

A Visit from Friends

We enjoyed getting to spend some time with our Tia, Unkl Jack, and some of their family while they were in town for Thanksgiving.

Tia's son, Brad, his wife, Heather, and children, Luke and Lindsey

We pulled out our church's handchimes and had so much fun playing impromptu Christmas Carols together.

We had a lot of catching up to do since we hadn't seen them since last Thanksgiving.  Everyone had plenty of pictures on their phones to share with each other.

Thanks for sharing some of your time in Tennessee with us - we really enjoyed your visit!

Emma's Third Birthday

A few weeks ago the Gallaghers had us over to celebrate Emma's third birthday.

Her brothers enjoyed the new gifts as much as Emma did.

Happy birthday, Emma!
