Oh, Christmas tree...

The girls were excited to go shopping for a Christmas tree. How about this one? Over here, dad! I think this one is better...Poor dad got tired of picking them up and shaking them out for us girls to take a look and decided which one was just right. In the end, we got the perfect one!


Jenna was a pro at decorating...she found just the right spot for each ornament. She made sure to dress for the occasion; she just loves a party!




Haley really enjoyed rediscovering her ornaments from previous years...Pooh Bear, Care Bears, a delicate little fairy...and knew who should hang up the the monkeys (Jenna!) and soccer Santas (dad!).

Happy Thanksgiving!

The grown-up's table in the dining room. Doesn't that turkey look delicious? Henry did his own frying in the backyard this year, and, yum, it was good!



The kiddie table in the kitchen. The cousins love the kids-only dining, followed by lots of playing, running, chasing, swinging...



The whole Nguyen family. With 17 people, it's not often we are all together. HAPPPY THANKSGIVING!

Gramdma and Pop-Pop's Visit

We were all so excited to have Grandma and Pop-Pop come to visit. The weekend was very busy with dinner out at a favorite restaurant, The Peter Anderson Festival, and the grand opening of the Ohr Museum. And of course, lots of visiting and playing!



Grandma and Pop-Pop joined us in celebrating the girls' outstanding report cards...with dinner at the Beau Rivage.

The Peter Anderson Festival featured lots of beautiful artwork. The most fun, though, was found at St. Alphonsus. The girls had a blast menuvering the kid-sized hampster balls.
