Wishing you all things merry!


After ANOTHER Hokie victory over UVA for the 15th year in a row, we all settled down for the creation of a Gingerbread village. The kids were very detailed oriented! Dad made the bases and the kids did most of the decorating themselves.
























Yes, at least for this year, we are the crazy family that puts of the tree before Thanksgiving.
We went to see Santa at Yankee Candle and the kids picked out an ornament. They were then filled with the spirit so they worn us down. 🙂
Canton picked a sailfish, Lou an owl of course, and my peanut picked a peanut!
I got pretty emotional putting up the tree this year, Liberty placed our purple ribbon in remembrance of Mal on the tree and on the wooden reindeer that belonged to them. It was a bittersweet moment.
We are looking forward to a great holiday season!









































We spent the day walking around W&M looking at the changing leaves and taking pictures. I had to fight the sun all day because it was a bright, clear, and very windy day. So, not the greatest pictures due to shadows on their faces, but they still make pretty great subjects! 🙂
Also, Liberty found one of the those rocks that people leave throughout the community, she was pretty excited!!

Mike and Canton flew around Williamsburg, here are a few of the many many pictures.
