Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving at my family's house. This was the first Thanksgiving meal that Josephine could eat, and she loved the delicious food that my dad made! There were lots of tears at the table as we talked about how much we miss sweet Pete. His favorite Thanksgiving food was pumpkin pie with whipped cream! :) But we have so much to be thankful for, especially the promise of eternal life and seeing him again some day.

Josephine kept everyone entertained at dinner with her funny faces. This is what she does when she eats something sour (AKA the sour face). She does it by request now, and it's quite funny! :)

Here are a few more pictures. Happy Thanksgiving!

First Snow!

We had the first snow fall of the season here, and Josephine loved it! The snow melted after a couple of days, but it was fun to see how fascinated Jojo was. Hopefully this fascination continues because winter is a very long season here!

Wisconsin Trip

We spent this past weekend visiting my sister, her husband, and her kids in Wisconsin. Annie had her fifth baby in October, and we were so excited to meet him. Little Rocco Giovanni Peter is absolutely adorable! He is such a sweet, good baby! We had so much fun hanging out with everyone.

Josephine was fascinated with little Rocco.

She loved giving him kisses!

She wasn't too sure what to do when he cried, though! :)

Jojo also loved hanging out and playing with the other kids. She got lots of love and attention!

We got to see little Rocco get baptized while we were there, and I am so honored to be his godmother.

Also, Josephine did great in the car! It's about four hours one way, and she is not a big fan of the car. But, we had a good plan in place, and she did awesome on the way down there and the way back!

Halloween

Halloween was very different with Josephine this year. Last year she wore her costume for an hour or so and didn't ever leave the house in it. This year she dressed up and went to a fall festival with a couple of friends. She also wore her flower costume to her ECFE class.

And we took Jojo trick-or-treating for the first time this year! We only went to a few houses nearby, but she seemed to have fun. She promptly enjoyed some treats from her candy bucket when we got home! :)

It was fun to see Jojo enjoy Halloween so much this year!
