Christmas Dance

Faith and her friends got to dress up and attend the masquerade themed dance at their school.  It wasn't the best time she ever had, but I know she enjoyed the special time with her buddies.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Were we ready for a break or what?!  This was a fun and relaxing extended weekend!  A chance to visit, shop, sleep, eat, etc...  I'm rejuvenated and ready for the next three weeks! (I think :-)) Here's our holiday in pictures and captions.

Our Thanksgiving Dinner (potluck) at the church.  The pistachio salad was my favorite!

In Portland/Tigard the next day enjoying peanut butter pie at Banning's.  Vaughn wanted a picture to remember it by.

Faith enjoying her piece of peanut butter pie.  Yum!

Griffin "helping" Grandma get to the entrance of Olive Garden for our Black Friday Dinner.  We didn't do a whole lot of shopping, but we seemed to do a lot of eating!

Waiting for our yummy dinner at Olive Garden.

Griffin wasn't being overly cooperative for this picture.

So nice to have time with Bob and Lois!

Vaughn's "selfie" picture as he enjoys his Coca Cola.

Relaxing and hanging out at the hotel

Back home for the first Sunday of Advent.  Griffin, with Vaughn's help, lighting the first advent candle.

Griffin reading the scripture for the First Sunday of Advent - Galatians 4:1-7.  He did a great job reading!
