With a day off from school, we headed to Crayola Factory for some fun! We went when Mark was a toddler and they've made it even better than it was then. We had a great time on this unseasonably warm day!
Taking turns in the laundry basket is always a fun time!
Both sets of grandparents were kind enough to trade off the children for a couple nights while we got away to exotic Alexandria, Virginia. Actually, it was quite nice. After a crazy few weeks of work for Doug it was just what we needed. It was a bit early for me to feel the Christmas spirit, but it was fun to see the decorations around Alexandria and National Harbor in MD. It was a lovely weekend and we are SO thankful to our parents for being such awesome grandparents and babysitters! And though I have no photo evidence, Mark lost his first tooth while we were gone...how can he be old enough to lose teeth?! I'm pretty sure he just got his teeth.
Joe still likes to have stuff on his face a lot.
Shopping with Gianna.
We tried putting Samantha's hairdo on Gianna...it actually turned out pretty good!
Our one and only Thanksgiving picture doesn't show what a crowd we had! My parents, Doug's parents, two of Doug's work friends and their families. It was a beautiful day and the kids were even able to play outside.
We always decorate our tree on Thanksgiving weekend. Nonna was around to help this year, so that made it even more special!
Our neighbor dabbles in photography and was kind enough to take some family photos for us. We used them for our Christmas card. They turned out quite nicely!
