Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we hosted Thanksgiving in our house. We had some friends in the neighborhood and the missionaries over. Mommy figured out the easy and non-fail way to make the turkey. We'll stick to it for future years. We had so much desserts that we ate it for weeks afterwards. Happy Thanksgiving! 

Capitol Tour

A friend of ours John met while going out with the missionaries works in the Idaho Senator's office. He arranged a tour for us to see the Capitol. We had a fun day.

GS Family Hiking

The Girl Scout invited the families to go on a hike with them. We hiked daddy's favorite running trail along a lake close to our house.  Everyone had a fun time. 

French Party at School

Tonight we attended the annual French Party at Jade's school. We loved seeing her carrying on a little conversation with her French teacher in French. We also loved how comfortable she felt singing in choir. She has French class only once a week, but I'm amazed at how much she's learned and more importantly how much she loves it. This is one of the many songs they sang. It's about taking care of your body, I think.
