Merry Christmas!

Christmas Pageant

The Annual Christmas Pageant is something I always look forward to each year. Even though, for the past 2 years, Makenzie has been a statue, it's still really cute. Now Madelyn has joined the ranks of the big kids and gets to perform as well. We finally got someone who will perform! Maddie did a great job of hand motions and singing. She is definitely more outgoing than Makenzie. But, Makenzie did actually do hand movements this year, and we might have even caught her moving her lips a couple of times. She's getting better with each year! This year, Makenzie got to dress up like an angel (which she said itched).

Thanksgiving

We got to go to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving this year and see a lot of Tim's family. Thanksgiving is always a crazy time around the Kipp household. When Tim's grandparents sold Tim's parents the house, the stipulation was that Thanksgiving dinner always had to be there in that house. Tim's mom does a great job of continuing the tradition, even with making lunch for 32 people and having tons of company!

A Few More Halloween...

Hmmm..almost got these on here before December! :) Here are the girls in their full blown Halloween costumes...

Corn Maze

It wouldn't be Halloween/Fall without a trip to a Corn Maze! This year we went with our Sunday School class and left our fate to our line leaders, Lily and Makenzie, who did a great job getting us through! :)

An Adventure

Three very brave moms--determined not to let a cloudy day and a high probability of rain deter us from getting out of the house on a school holiday--set forth on an adventure to great Cottageville, South Carolina (aka the middle of nowhere) to visit the Bee Farm. Turns out, it was super cool! They had an amazing assortment of animals--monkey you could feed with your hands even! (Ring tailed lemurs have really soft hands, I wouldn't mind one of those as a pet!)
