In November, Celeste celebrated her first birthday (!), we continued school activities, Marcus took a trip to Boston with his dad to see another ND game, and we partook in traditional Thanksgiving festivities.
 |
| Mrs. N brought Celeste a gift on her birthday. |
 |
| Later that evening, we celebrated as a family. |
 |
| Mariposa loves her monthly Little Flowers meetings, and I love teaching them! |
 |
| We celebrated Celeste's birthday in grand "family dinner" style.... |
 |
| Bunny and I made FOUR lasagnas! (Notice the birthday girl asleep on Auntie Cecelia's lap.) |
 |
| I took my kids and god-children shopping for "Operation Shoebox," suggested by Mrs. N. They had fun and we loved to learn later that our boxes went to kids in the Phillipines. |
 |
| Pick a Peck of Pickled Peppers |
 |
| The RE kids delivered food baskets to local needy families. |
 |
| Marcus and his dad got to go to the hottest game of the season-- ND verse Boston College, played in Fenway Park!!! (ticket prices on the street were over $1000!) |
 |
| They got to do some sight-seeing as well. I was very jealous because I've always wanted to tour Boston!!! |
 |
| Back at home, James started preparing for Christmas. |
 |
| Annual Turkey Trot event |
 |
| Thanksgiving feast at the R. side of the duplex |
 |
| Bunny loves her Star Wars figures! |
