Grandma Hempy- Merry Christmas Hats

We spent Thanksgiving in Iowa with my mom, dad, aunts, uncles and cousins.  I love this time of year and am so thankful and reminded of our many blessings.  It was especially fun to catch up with friends and family, many of whom we may just see once a year.  I just need to remember to pack my camera next year...the iphone is great but just not the same.

Christmas came early this year at the Hempy house, with Grandma Hempy giving all the "grown-up" girls hats and gloves.

My Second Born

Jeff went into Anders's room this past week to find Adeline, 14 months, on the top bunk.  Our little monkey had climbed up the ladder, and was so very pleased with herself to have climbed up to the top bunk just like her brother.  Needless to say the ladder is now tucked safely away in the garage.
