Fall Housewarming

Jason and I have felt so blessed to have our home....it is truly the delight of our heart. We had our housewarming during the afternoon of November 17th. Ir was so wonderful to have our friends and family be able to enjoy our house. Many stopped in for the warm apple cider, snicker doodle cookies, and a brief visit. We had about seventy people throughout the course of the afternoon and it was a wonderful time. Here Alee, a former student of mine and current student of Jason's, and her mom gave us an absolutely beautiful wind chime.

Mary Naylor gave Jason and I a VERY fancy roasting pan, just in time for Thanksgiving, which we had at our house!

Here are all of the shoes of those inside! Towards the end of the afternoon, this pile grew to about four times the size as seen here.

Here are Kristina and I in the kitchen. Kristina is a first year teacher and Jason and I get a kick out of her....she is so much fun! We can't help but laugh out loud with some of the things she says and does :0)

Jason and Toby are talking golf, while later Riley, a student of Jason's, pause from the teasing for a quick picture.

Randy was plesantly surprised to take the leftover snickerdoodles home, as Tana joins the conversation. Gail said by the end of the weekend there were only four cookies the boys hadn't eaten. Compliments to the chef (me..hee-hee).

Susan, my teaching partner and closest friend (seen in the left with the gray coat) gave Jason and I a gift along with the red vase and candy canes. I LOVED the vase, and was so surprised! Jason LOVED the candy canes, as he seems to be unable to get enought of the pepperminty goodness around the holidays.
