Day 323

So these two have known each other since they were born.  They don't go to the same school, but they both play volleyball, and their schools played each other Thursday afternoon.

They also happen to have the same school colors, and they both happen to be #8.

This was as close as they would stand to each other.

And just because, here is a snapshot of framed photos of these guys when they were little.

so sweet

Day 322

Old Salem during the Holidays...

Day 321

Brendan wasn't interested in actually decorating a tree for his room so I did it for him.  I didn't spend too much time on it, but I like the way it turned out.

Day 320

On Sunday we put up Emma's and Jackson's Christmas trees.  They were anxious to help.

Day 319

On November 14th, we drove to Old Salem to take pictures for the Christmas Card.  Things didn't go quite as I had planned.  I didn't get as many photos as I wanted.  There were lots of people, and it was COLD!  After going through the photos, however, I was able to salvage enough to order our cards for 2014.
