Thanksgiving

Aunt Christine the pie queen, and Devin, licking the beaters.  Once Devin's beater was a little too clean, he dipped it in the frosting bowl for a second helping.

The Pilgrims and Indians ready for Thanksgiving!

A happy, slobbery Thanksgiving guest.

Isaac's cousins came to visit for Thanksgiving.  Grandpa and Grandma Archibald came also.  It was a full house with happy little pilgrims staying in the tent upstairs!

Not your typical Christmas Day

Christmas tree at Calvary Chapel.  Our neighbors always invite us to go to a special Christmas Eve Service. Christmas 2016 was unique in 2 ways:  1, it was on a Sunday, and 2, the kids didn't open presents until after 3:30 PM.  The day started off with the kids getting excited about the fact that their sugar loaded breakfast was in their stockings.  They got juice in character shaped bottles; Isaac got Darth Vader and Esther got Miss Piggy.  Then they got individual serving of lucky charms.  Unsurprisingly, they ate the marshmallows and left the rest.  They also got the standard canister of Pringles and gummy bears.   After that, we had to rush to get ready for church.

L3Harris Rocket Launch

 Our family was invited to the Kennedy Space Center to watch a rocket launch because Reid's company worked on the payload for this rocket.  It was really cool, and a little bit chilly.  We did finally hear the sonic boom, but I was super surprised how delayed the sound was from the visual.  The whole ordeal of sending a satellite to outer space was like 15 minutes.  It's crazy how fast we can put a satellite into orbit these days.
