November 30, 2012 Alissa invites Rose to her Gymnastics Class

Here is a collage I made of Alissa and Rose at Alissa's Little Gym Gymnastics class. This week was "Invite a Friend to Class" week so Alissa invited Rose. They both had a wonderful time together. Rose is the one below with a light pink t-shirt and light blue knit pants. Alissa is also wearing a light pink t-shirt, but with dark gray pants.

Rose had so much fun that she actually cried when it was time to leave. We will make sure to invite Rose again in the future.

Thanksgiving 2012

This year we had Thanksgiving with Kim's family. Wayne and Natalie agreed to have the celebration at their house. We had a wonderful time visiting and eating the delicious turkey dinner. We all brought different food items to contribute to the feast. I made some pies to include banana cream, chocolate cream, and pumpkin. I also purchased a double lemon cream and Razzleberry pie from Marie Callendars since those are also family favorites. Here are some pictures of the delicious feast.

 After the delicious meal, Alissa enjoyed playing with her cousins outside in the back yard. Wayne and Natalie have a super fun back yard since they have three different levels of lawn with a fire pit on the highest level. Alissa, Rose, and Heber loved to pretend that the fire pit was a castle and the three of them were super hero's who saved the day. They ended up saving the castle from dragons, fire, ice, etc. It was so cute to watch them. They have such incredible imaginations at their ages. Alissa and Rose are both three and Heber is now six years old.
