We caught up with Santa in North Carolina over Thanksgiving.

We hosted a Christmas cookie party with Frances's friends Caie,

We visited Grandma and Pop Pop's house over Thanksgiving

and caught up with Jack, Nicky, and Mattie Lou.

Lori, Jack, and Nicky read Animalia together.

Mattie Lou and Frances became fast friends!

Happy Birthday, Lori!

Happy Birthday, Frances!

Frances turned one on November 13 and had

her first birthday party a few days later.

The Birthday Girl!

Yum! Cupcakes!
