November 2015

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.
