Araceli Hope

We're thankful for nine months with Ari!

On Thanksgiving morning, Ari got to go to Knott's Berry Farm and try all kinds of food from their buffet. She is a good eater! Daddy's side of the family chose Knotts for their family celebration, and based on the look on her face here, Ari seems to think that was a good idea!

We were driving home from church, and noticed that you could see the snow on the mountains miles away. We thought we'd stop by a park and take a family picture, and were lucky enough to run into a professional who was glad to oblige.

Here's Daddy keeping Ari warm as they wait for Mommy to finish getting her bath drawn. (Yes, she's got a diaper on--Daddy doesn't want a shower, too.) They're enjoying a good laugh while watching The Simpsons.

Ari had Thanksgiving dinner at Mommy's side of the family's house. She kept up with her cousins with her cool walker.

Grandpa's first cousin turned 80 and invited friends and family to join her for a celebration at a historic blues club, mainly populated with old timers. Ari LOVED the live jazz band and here she is with her favorite dance partner--Grandpa!

While Daddy loads our Christmas tree on our car, Ari and Mommy stop to enjoy the scents and colors of the season.
