Hi everyone! Wow, sure has been a while since I blogged, so forgive me if I leave out anything. October of course mainly involved a lot of Halloween festitivites. Our moms group did a little trick or treat visit with the residents at the local nursing home, which was fun for everyone! Was such a joy to see the elderly people's smiles light up as they watched the kids in their costumes. Of course Genevieve dressed up at school in her Sofia the 1st costume. For the neighborhood trick or treat party, she was Cinderella. Noah was Winnie the Pooh, but not a fan of the costume-we had just enough time to take a picture before he threw a fit haha. They had a hay ride too which was so much fun! We have such a great neighborhood and have made some great friends. : )
November, we had Genevieve's little friend Emery's birthday party. That was fun, it is so cute how her preschool friends all have so much fun together. The big event of the month was Noah's 1st birthday party. We just had a small family get together and our friends Tani and Jeremiah came with their little baby boy Blaine. He got some super fun presents and of course had a Winnie the Pooh birthday cake. : ) Everyone had a great time! A week or two before that was his little cousin's 1st birthday (also named Noah). My cousin Neanie was in town (she has the same birthday as my Noah), so we all went out to dinner and had cake afterwards at my Uncle Chris's place. Lots of fun cousin time!
Then of course there was Thanksgiving! A few days before Thanksgiving, we had a play date with our sweet cousins of course at their new house in Wylie-always fun spending time with them. : ) Sam and Chelsea came to town, it was great to see them. We did Thanksgiving Day at our house, then spent the rest of the weekend with the family at either our place or at my parents. One day we went to a Christmas concert at the Bass Hall, which was wonderful! Definitely put us all in the Christmas spirit. Then came December! I believe it was this month or maybe last month, that we had Jacob's birthday party (Genevieve's friend)-it was so much fun for everyone. : ) Genevieve also became sick shortly after with a terrible virus similar to hand, foot, mouth disease. Fortunately she was healed in time for her school Christmas pageant.
I am so happy that she was able to perform, she did great. She is usually pretty quiet at school, but has always loved music. She was the most animated on stage and knew all the hand motions and words, etc...and was right in the front row, she was sooo cute! Her teacher was amazed and so happy. A few days later, it was Christmas break! We spent Christmas here with my parents and my brothers. Abraham came to town-so great to see my youngest brother-we sure have missed him! It was a wonderful Christmas-spent time with family, went to Christmas Mass, and of course opened presents. One night we went out to the Bavarian Grill, here in Plano-which was lots of fun-it is a great atmosphere with great food and beer!
Another exciting thing that happened was our sweet friends gave us their beautiful couch and red cabinet/armoire for free! Now our sitting room and dining area are fully furnished! Yay!! Earlier this month we also had a Christmas play date with our cousins at their new house in Wylie which was a lot of fun-the kids have so much fun together. : ) Nathan's dad came to town for a few days after Christmas, so the kids were able to spend time with him. After that was New Years. My parents were out of town and none of our babysitters were available, so we just took it easy and hung out here with the kids and watched a movie. Guess that's all I have for these past few months! Now its a New Year! Until next time...
