Getting ready for Christmas

 Beck and Ramsey have a blast on this estate sale find for Matt to change the oil on the car.

Oh, the beautiful weather.  

It has been so temperate and incredible--the best fall since we came to the DC area.

Family photo in Wayne, PA (a suburb of Philadelphia)--we visited a dear friend, 

Ashley Smalley, for Thanksgiving and managed to get almost NO photos.  

She and her boyfriend, JP, made a delicious dinner, and we had a blast.

Take Two!

Enjoying a lovely park in Wayne.

Beck and Ramsey played on the see-saw with JP's help.

Oh dear, this boy is so wonderful.  

I love this picture--we are blessed with so much laughter.

This is the Christmas tree farm where we got our first family Christmas tree.  It is fresh and gorgeous.

Matt "supervising." 

Proud Papa.

The tag on this tree said "lovely" and it is true.  I love having this tree in our home.

Matt put up the outdoor lights and Ramsey asks to see them all the time.
