It's Catch Up Time Again:o)

I am not going to write too much since I have way too much to catch up on but I am going to post some pictures of the end of the year. It has been a rough month and a half with the pregnancy and blogging has been the last thing on my mind.

Brian got a big pile of leave for the girls to jump in. They wanted to jump in the leaves because they watched someone do it on tv. They had a blast!




The girls love to play dress up. They were the princess's and Daddy was the horse:o)



My friend Joy threw an awesome shower with some great friends and family:o)




Thanksgiving Traditions

When we have Thanksgiving at Brian's grandparents, all the second cousings love dancing with each other while someone plays Christmas songs on the piano.




All of the cousins get to break the bread for the Grandma's stuffing.




Some of the family hanging out, which is what the Hopkins family does best:o)





Here are the girls helping with the tree decorating at our house.




This year we went to the Blue Ridge Christmas parade. It was quite cold so we had to cut the festivities short but it was fun to spend time with family.






Ella and Ava were in our church Christmas play for the first time. Ella was a part of the fifties scene and Ava was an angel at the time of the manger scene. They were so cute!






Our friends had their little girl's birthday party and Santa came to visit near the end. This is the closest Ella has gotten to sitting on his lap. Maybe we will get Ava closer next year!
