Creativity, Choir, Carmel Hills, & Crowder’s Mountain
Mom and Dad had their 26th anniversary in November. Woohoo!
The anniversary table. We printed a large photo of them to put in the 8×11 frame in their room. A couple comments were made about how the strange lady who’d lived in the frame for quite some time would be missed…but I think everyone agreed that Mom and Dad (not some strange face for a sample picture) looked a lot better in the frame.

Mom had surgery at the beginning of November. When she came home from the hospital, the little girls went all out to welcome her. They had signs on the windows, chalk messages on the driveway, ribbons and streamers on the cars, and confetti to throw at Mom when she got out of the car. So cute!
Marianna had fun decorating Mom’s bed.
We tried to make the “recovery room” fun and comfortable.

Love them! Missy’s choir sang at a retirement home a little while ago. They did a good job…Missy LOVES to sing.

We went to Carmel Hills Retirement Community with several students again and put on a small recital for the residents there. They loved it! And the students had fun too.
At the end, Jen and I did a duet, Angela played, and then we had a short time of singing, which the people loved.
Some fun ladies. They would have partied all night!

We six kids went to Crowder’s Mountain for the day last month. Grabbed a friend last minute since we had an extra seat in our vehicle.
The leaves were still on the trees and changing colors at this time, so it was beautiful!
Missy had a blast. She’s adventurous, but she also stayed close by the whole time.
After we got to the end of the trail and climbed past the danger sign
we walked on top of the mountain and took in this beautiful view.
When we go hiking, we’re used to doing it in the mountains and having a different view, but it was really neat to feel like we were above EVERYTHING and to see for miles and miles.
So gorgeous!
Christopher was a trooper hanging out with all of us girls.
