In November we celebrated not only Thanksgiving, but Emma! It was Emma’s seventh birthday. We celebrated by taking her, her two sisters and one friend to see Disney on Ice. She kept asking me “is it going to be like a movie, or are they really going to be there?” I watched her face when the first characters took the ice and it was classic! She was so excited. We had a super time celebrating her!
For Thanksgiving we traveled to Raliegh, NC to be with Brian’s brother Alan and his family. It was our first opportunity to meet Lily and to see their new home. It is always a blessing to be able to be with family, especially since our family is spread out over many states! Owen really liked Alan and Michelle’s dog Maddy, who is a chow dog. I am pretty sure Owen thought she was a lion!! Owen would roar at her everytime he saw her
– precious memories.
While in Raliegh we got to meet up with some special friends at the park who were visiting family in Raliegh as well. Our girls were delighted to get to see the Despres and play with Sophie.

More GREAT photos! Looks like everyone had a fine time. Love the use of available light in the photo of Addie slathering icing on the cupcakes. Also the overhead perspective shot of Brian de boning (I think) the turkey? Keep up the good work, and at the same time SLOW my “VowelS” down from growing up so FAST! – Grampy
Glad you liked them!! Brian is making Turkey soup an Early/Moore/Denmark family tradition. They boil the bones the day after, de bone it, add a bunch of other stuff and make some great soup!
