We have had SUCH a busy month! First, of course, was Josh's 4th birthday! I can't believe he's been here for 4 years! We celebrated early with a party with some of his friends. The theme he picked - John Deere! He just loves tractors! It was a great time for both the kids and adults! As Josh's big gift this year - we took him on the "Polar Express" train. Grammy and PaPa joined us for the adventure , and we headed off to Connersville to catch the train. I, of course, forgot my camera. Josh enjoyed his ride, but when we got there and we said "Josh look! The Polar Express!" he replied "That's not the Polar Express, that's a diesel!" Guess we can't pull a fast one on this kid!
We also hosted our first Thanksgiving at the new house. My sister, brother-in-law, and grandma came and stayed with us. It was great having family here, and Melissa and I managed to cook a wonderful turkey! We were pretty proud considering it was my second turkey cooking experience, and her first!
Then to end our busy month, Maddie was baptised the Saturday following Thanksgiving. Many of our family and friends joined us for the occassion, and Father Randy (and family friend) performed the baptism. A HUGE thanks goes to my Mother-in-law for making Maddie's beautiful gown. She removed parts of my mother's wedding gown to create the baptism gown, and the result was a wonderful dress that will be passed on for generations. And I loved the fact that both grandmothers had a large part in the gown, even though my mom isn't with us anymore.
