Thanksgiving and a tree

The girls have been having quite the holiday adventures.

First, we flew to visit Nana and Papa for Thanksgiving! It was a great time.



We celebrated Evan's birthday as well with some cake!



Then we went out to the Gerber farm, where Ida Jane got to enjoy a hayride with her parents, Evan, Aunt Sarah, and Nana. Her Uncle Greg was doing the driving.



It was brisk, but very enjoyable.



Then it was off to Fostoria to see her Great Granddad and Grandmama Zoll and their fabulous new place.



The girls really enjoyed seeing all of their family.





Then it was back to Rockville, where we bid Thanksgiving a (somewhat tearful) adieu. Fortunately, we've been able to get them all excited about Christmas!

Ida Jane went shopping with her Dad for the tree. We really liked our pick.



We put some tinsel on:



And a new angel we got, made from a recycled can! Our green angel:



Then we added some ornaments!



What a beautiful tree:



Of course, it wouldn't be a house with little kids if it didn't look a little, well, unfinished...



Last but not least, here is a picture of Harper in action, doing her crawl:




And a movie of the same, narrated by her big sister (who scrambles at the start of the movie to get behind the camera).

Thanks for sharing all of the great holiday photos. It is especially fun and exciting to watch Harper crawl with Ida Jane's sweet voice in the background. Love you lots.

We really enjoyed seeing all of you at Thanksgiving. With Harper crawling, you have two girls on the move, should be a fun Christmas. It's obvious that Ida Jane really enjoys her sister. The Zoll family picture is great as well. Enjoy the holiday season. Take care. Love you.
