Thanksgiving 2011

This year we had Thanksgiving dinner at home, just the 5 of us. It was alot of work, for a few minutes of indulgence! Mom made all the favorites: Turkey, stuffing,cranberry relish, green bean casserole, roles,yummy gravy, and very runny mashed potatoes. Everything was great except the spuds. Later that day we joined a few other families at the Kennards for dessert. Relaxing, fun day!

Girls on the Run

This year Meg participated in a program for 3 months called Girls on the Run. This was held at school. Two days a week for three months she would meet with a group of 12 girls for 1 1/2 hours and train for this 5 K. She had two coaches, who motivated the girls with lessons on self esteem, self worth and confidence boosting games and exercises. This was on the 5K which took place on the Notre Dame campus. It was a beautiful fall day in Nov. Daddy was a good sport to run with her, since Mom did the practice run with her the week before the race. Mom, Morgan, and Madeline were on the side lines cheering them on at every turn. Meg made it! Great job Meg!(she came to the conclusion afterward, that she doesn't enjoy running so much)

Morgan's 14th Birthday

This year Morgan chose to have a date with Mom and Dad. We went for dinner at the mall after she went to Buckle and got the Silver jeans she had her eye on. She then went to her very first stake dance. So, so sad... Where have the years gone?

Halloween 2011

This Halloween Morgan hung out with her friend Alli Worthen, Madleine trick or treated woth some of her friends in Fox Chase, so Meg and I went to our old stomping grounds, Covington Shores. She was happy as to be to make the rounds with her BFF Nicole Marshall(poodle skirt girl). While walking around we saw her other really good friend Renee (witch) from school. Dad stayed home and handed out goods with Maggie.
