George & Madeline
Magnolia & George play before everyone arrives. Magnolia gets some back scratching from her daddy. George's 1st Thanksgiving! George & Nani
We hiked into the woods after our big meal.

The day after Thanksgiving all of the girls went to The Ritz Carlton for the Teddy Bear Tea.
It was so much fun. I think I loved it as much as Magnolia, if not more.
They got their faces painted. They decorated cookies. They sang Christmas carols. They sat in front of a roaring fireplace on big down pillows to hear a story read to them while eating candy canes. But most importantly, they had endless cups of hot chocolate poured for them with bowls of marshmallows to top it all off.
Girl talk.
She really did have a lot of hot chocolate.
Look at those tea sandwiches and sweets!
It sure was a fun way to kick off the holiday season!
On our last night we had a pizza party and then when on a horse drawn carriage ride through the spectacularly lit Tilles Park. It was beautiful evening. The lights and ride put George into a peaceful slumber and Magnolia was in awe of it all.
We miss you all.

Thank you so much for your kind words on my blog, I truly appreciate them. So hard, but am slowly, ever so slowly, finding a peace in knowing that we made the right decision at this time, yet so hopeful, that all work out.
