Family and Friends

The above pic is Lily at her friend, Chloe's b-day party :)

After attending the Providence Woman's Day, the first Sat I was there, Jenelle, Lily, and I made a trip to Eville - Lily was so good!  She reminded me too that Lily and silly rhyme and that is good because she is silly... her words not mine :)  She does make me laugh!

The next day we celebrated my niece Molly's 4th birthday.  Here are pics of friends and family who came and lots o' pics of the birthday girl... the Hannah Montana dress from Kristin, Kaitlyn, Adam, and Hadley was definitely a hit!!  Any idea on which pic is her gift from Aunt Shannon :)

I think it was the next day, Monday... that I went by my friend Greta's house just to visit... her middle child Emma took this photo of Abbi and I reading... Shout out to Mrs. Lane her teacher who is doing a remarkable job!

I also got to go w/ Jenelle and the kids to one of Gunnar's b-ball games in Eville... GJ's team won the entire tourney and his first grade teacher was there to cheer them on... how sweet!  The next pic is Molly before her Thanksgiving program... which I also got to go see - she did a great job!

The Wed nite before Thanksgiving Washington always plays a big b-ball game against Barr-Reeve... I wanted to have some friends over before the game, that I'd really not seen in a while and it all ended up working out! Wished you were in town Jamie - missed you!!! The nite really blessed my soul!  Thanks for all your help mom!

We did a Thanksgiving brunch this year with tons of good stuff... breakfast casserole, cinnamon breakfast cake, fruit salad, fried potatoes... then did the turkey dinner later around 5... both my grandma's were there and my uncle Bob... we did a toast too everyone saying what they were thankful for... mine was my family - the ones I got to see and those I didn't.

Song playing is "Words I Would Say," by Sidewalk Prophets... I heard it yesterday when running some errands and it filled me with the blessings I have in my friends and families... they are words I wish for myself and for each life I love.
