Day 172

November 24th, 2012

Saturday

Today Jenevieve was given a name and blessing at Grandma and Grandpa Graham's home.  We really enjoyed having it at home instead of having it at church like normal.  After the blessing we had a brunch of fruit, eggs and Costco muffins.  Yum!

We ate pizza out for our Thanksgiving dinner.  We are at Seaside and there really weren't many choices in restaurants.  We were hoping to eat at Doogers but it was closed.


Then we went back to our hotel and swam then watched Elf as a family.

Day 167

November 19th, 2012

Monday

Jude and Jadon enjoy playing in the sewing room.  They are NOT supposed to and for good reason.  I keep the pictures I haven't hung up yet leaning on the wall in there.  Jadon tore this one up - it is my FAVORITE picture - a little girl and a dog.  It is 90 years old and was my grammies.  Paul is checking to see if all the pieces are there.  Looks like they are.  I'll have to figure out to put it back together.

Tonight Jolie had Activity Girls Recognition Night.  She did a fantastic job giving a talk on her favorite Book of Mormon story - the story of Alma and Amulek.  She memorized it out and knocked everyone's socks off with her version of it!

Tuesday

The four of us girls went out this evening to get our hair cut.  Jenevieve of course didn't get her hair cut; it's already short.  Here are the before and after cuts.  Jolie got bangs and I had enough of my hair cut off to give to locks of love.

I finally got a picture of my three girls together!  We dropped Paul off at the airport to fly to Las Vegas tonight.  I intended to bring the camera and take a picture, I forgot.  We'll miss him but know he'll have lots of fun and hopefully come back with a job.  This is a networking trip.

So, while Jenevieve and I were on our trip I crocheted a lot and I made her this sweater and hat.  I'm pleased with how it turned out.
