Dapper Looking Kids

These three wanted to match for Sakura's baptism, and since they were matching and looking so cute, I took a picture!

More Fun With Family

While Aaron and Kaori were here, they baptized their daughter Sakura.  She is in the same grade as Jonah, though a few months younger than him.  They waited until they could be with a lot of family to baptize her, rather than baptizing her in Japan.

Before Aaron and Kaori went back to Japan, they treated some of our kids to a new movie, Frozen 2.  Eliza, Jonah and Annmarie all went with their cousins.

Travis and Eliza are best buds with Maggie and they spent a lot of time together while Aaron and Kaori were in town.

Thanksgiving 2019

Aaron and Kaori's family came over from Japan to celebrate Thanksgiving and make their yearly trip to the states.  We were so glad they were able to come!  We had a big Thanksgiving with Grandpa and Grandma coming from Arizona.  All of us who live here also came.  John and Allison couldn't make it though.  Since it was such a large group, we had the dinner at the church building.  We played in the gym while dinner was being prepped and after the dinner.  It was a lot of fun to spend time with so much family!

Annmarie's First Lost Tooth!

Annmarie lost her first tooth today.  Of course, Nathan didn't want to be left out of the pictures and since he knocked a tooth out when he was a baby, he wanted to show the opening in his mouth too.

Family Pictures 2019

Every year we get our family pictures done and for the last few years, we've done them around Christmas. I decided to do them a little early this year and get them done before Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately, JC Penney changed their site so you can no longer download the thumbnails to your computer, so I took screenshots with my phone.  The pictures turned out so great for minimal attire planning and the kids were cooperative, amazingly enough!  We'll see how these show up in the book for 2019.
