Memory Making

A couple of days in the town I grew up in, a couple of visits to my favorite childhood spots, and a couple of conversations over the Thanksgiving table made me realize how precious our memories are. So much changes over the course of our lives- people and traditions come and go- but these remarkable moments are always with us.

This Thanksgiving, I was most thankful for the time and opportunity to make new memories with the ones that I love. A few fun moments from Hickory...

A piano lesson from Poppy (and lots of banging from Collins)...

The Catawba Science Center wasn't nearly as cool as we remembered it, but the Green Screen technology was entertaining. C was just very confused.

 

Baba and Mimi are always a big hit, but on this particular visit so were their pets. It was really cute hearing Collins's version of "Zoe", "Lilly" and "Mia".

 

Christmas card posing...

 

A classic toy comes down from the attic...

 

Jumping is a new obsession so Heather's new trampoline was a well-timed hit...

Fascinating dinner conversation with cousin Noah...

 

Many thanks to all of our family in Hickory and Raleigh for such a special holiday!
