We play a lot of hide and seek. By that, I mean Cressey will tell you where to hide and then she’ll come find you. Or she’ll hide in the same spot every time.

HG is a lot more creative.

After the game, we came home and went to mass at Christ the King where John and I got married in 2006. Watching John walk with Cressey around the lake, I was reminded of our wedding day.

We had a huge surprise with SNOW on November 14th! It started in the afternoon as school let out and continued until nighttime, although it didn’t continue long enough for school to be cancelled the next day.

Cressey’s school pics were scheduled on a Friday, so I got her dressed in her uniform and promised her a trip to the CFA playground if she cooperated. Unfortunately, she never made it to CFA because she absolutely refused to stand there and/or smile (despite the world’s most flexible school photographer). This was after the pics when she realized she wasn’t going to play.

2018-11-16 10.32.08

So mad that she was throwing her leg over the bed, trying to get out

2018-11-16 12.48.39

2018-11-26 11.14.27
