Having a lot of holiday fun recently.
At Christmas time, there’s so much to do. Recently we’ve taken in the Christmas lights at The Spirit Of Winter Festival of Lights at Sovereign Estate Winery, made Christmas cookies & gingerbread houses, and even visited some penguins at Wooddale Church’s Family Christmas.

Luna Lovegood Halloween
For Halloween this year, Lily went as Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. It’s great to see her picking characters/costumes that are unique and fun. Luna’s brave, smart, creative, and not like any one else.

Happy Birthday to my sweet, silly, smart little girl.
Lily turns 9 today and life just keeps getting better. Her optimism and her love for animals makes each day a fun adventure.
