Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving on Wednesday evening for several friends.  Steven and Staci Rainwater, Jason and Ashley Akovenko (with Anna, Eliza and Jane) and Ben and Kim Bankirt (with Drew and Hannah).  Fun time, great food ... and laughs.  All perfect for a Thanksgiving far from home.

And, Jenna's Thanksgiving Party and ICS.  Kristin was one of the party moms!

Daddy / Daughter Hoe Down

Girl Scouts gave me the opportunity for my first daddy / daughter dance.  And with Jenna, it was quite an adventure.  She loved it, especially the dancing part ... for which she was sure she could dance all night.  Not quite so much for me, but I did thoroughly enjoy the evening with her.

Sweet Girls

Last week at school was twin day.  Anna and Anna Akoveno decided to be twins (except they don't have the same color of hair).

Emily and Eliza Akovenko try to be twins (except for the height difference and the color of hair).

Jenna and Chiara dress up in traditional outfits for their twin day.

Jenna does retro day ...

Singapore Wanderings

On Saturday, Kristin went with Emily and Jenna to Seussical the Musical.  I drove the girls, and while they were at their production, I wandered around Singapore.  Here is what I found.
