Thanksgiving in DC

Family by the Lincoln Memorial


Blaine and Jaimee with Justice Alito



We had a wonderful trip to DC to spend Thanksgiving with our dear friends The Moore's. We did some fun things; visited the monuments at night, went to the Native American Smithsonian Museum (on Thanksgiving morning), had a delicious Thanksgiving Feast, went to a session at the DC Temple, went to the Air and Space Museum, and the highlight of the trip (especially for Blaine) was going to the Supreme Court for an official tour (our friend Dave Moore is a law clerk for Justice Alito) and was able to attend an Oral Argument at the Supreme Court with all 9 Justices there and to see the real action. We met Justice Alito, who was very nice, and it was a chance of a lifetime to be there! We love DC and really are feeling excited about moving there next August. We really mean it when we say we hope you all come visit us because it is such a fabulous city to be in. Blaine was able to see the Law School at GW where he will be attending school next year and its right in downtown DC which is very exciting. It was a great Thanksgiving Holiday. It was our 4th Thanksgiving with the Moore's so we were happy to keep up the tradition. We really miss them! Hope you all had a nice Holiday too.

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

One thing I really look forward to is going to the Pumpkin Patch! The kids love the Spooky Farm House, the Petting Zoo, seeing the Baby Farm Animals, and most of all...going on a Hayride to find just the right pumpkin!

Halloween Fun

We had a great time with our Gma Bell and Uncle Phil, Aunt Lisa and Emma and Jacob this last weekend. We went to Keeneland Race Track, had a fun Halloween Party that Grandma brought with her in her suitcase, and of course went Trick or Treating! The kids had a ball!
Here are some pictures of some of the cutest Trick or Treaters ever!
