We saw the last show of The Sound of Music at good ol' Wildwood Catholic. Katie was a nun and Joe was Admiral Von Schneider, a nazi, and a guest at a party. They both did wonderfully and we really enjoyed the show. We've been singing songs from the play all weekend!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at the house. Everyone helped in some way, which made the day and its cooking responsibilities that much easier. Liz was the official taste-tester and tried everything we made. Don't worry Bill--we had plenty of turkey in your honor.
We ate a ton but we had a lot of leftovers (perfect for breakfast) and some of us managed to take a much needed nap after dinner!
On Friday night, we drove up to the Stake Center for LJ and Kaylie Sikahema's Open House. What a fun night!
I really enjoyed seeing some of my friends that I haven't seen in so long. Of course there was some dancing towards the end, and we all joked that it was just like a stake dance from long ago! Liz danced with us too; that girl didn't close her eyes until we were in the car for the ride home!
She met up with cute Vai Tafuna (whose mom, Melissa, is a good friend of mine) and just had to give him a kiss!
On Saturday morning, my mom and I drove up to the Sewell Chapel to go to Sis. Diane Paul's funeral. It was a beautiful service to a woman who put everything before her own needs. We send our sympathies to the Paul family-- we love you all!
My mom needed a new phone so we stopped by the Sprint store in Court House...and then we went to Stone Harbor. Why, you ask? Well, for the first time ever, Springer's decided to open during Thanksgiving weekend because SH usually gets a pretty big crowd that weekend. Ahhh it was so nice to have Springer's at the end of November, when we are usually dreaming of the summer when it opens again. We loved it!
After church on Sunday, the branch had a "Linger Longer" where everyone brought something for lunch to share with everyone. Mom's ham soup was my favorite.
Of course, the break went by much too fast. We're back in Maryland, looking forward to Christmas!

Fun! I love that Lizzie's ankles are crossed in the picture of her sleeping--so cute :)
Awww, I LOVE ever single one of your pictures- they are priceless! I especially loved the pictures of Lizzie napping and eating the ice cream cone.
Can you believe that our girls are going to be 1 so soon??!!
We went and cut down a Christmas tree at Butlers Orchard last weekend- it was so much fun! Ples they had hot coco, cider and donuts at the market!
Lizzie's photos are so cute, as usual! Glad you had a great Thanksgiving with your family. Miss you, chica!
Looks like you had an awesome time!
