We started off the holiday season with our annual staff conference in the Adirondacks. It's always a refreshing time with good friend
s and one we look forward to every year. We have so much fun catching up with friends and relaxing that I never manage to take many pictures, but here are a couple from our weekend.

Remember these two? Abby and Emma. Little friends from the beginning (their parents made sure of it). They met at their very first staff conference two years ago. This year, they were running around and talking to each other in childcare. Now, they both have new baby sisters (Ella and Clara). Look at how much they have grown!

Our friend volunteered to take some pictures for us in hopes of getting a nice family shot/Christmas card photo. It was a great idea, but turned out to be a lot harder than expected since our photo session was scheduled for 20 minutes after Abby woke up from her nap. Some days she wakes up just fine. This day was not one of them. Though we didn't end up with a Christmas card photo, I think we ended up
with a priceless memory of just how serious Abby's angry face is and
how determined she is when she sets her mind to something. In this
case...not smiling! I will remind her of this someday.

After the conference, we headed to Papa's house for a night to visit. We relaxed all day with Uncle Cory while Papa cooked for us, enjoyed round one of Thanksgiving dinner and met up with friends for dessert afterward. On Thanksgiving morning, we headed to Grammy and G-Diddy's for the weekend. Thanksgiving dinner round 2, lots of fun activities and quality time with everyone. We even gave our photo session another shot. This time we were more successful! Perfect? No. Successful? Yes! :)
