An Action Packed Weekend

It was a busy weekend around the Campbell house. To create a ruse, we threw a 40th birthday surprise for Bill on the same weekend everyone was to be in town for the Christmas Pageant at church and the performing arts performance of "The Night Before Christmas." Bill was super surprised and a good time was had by all. We even had a guest performance by Dan Wyatt and my very old and guitar. Dan was able to tune it and our kitchen and family room doubled as a dance floor! Be sure to check out Liam singing on our church's webcast of the Christmas Pageant- his Sunday School class takes the stage at 9:40 on the video, but a nice pan of the camera shows Liam at 10:42 of the service.

Notables in November

November flew by, but we packed a lot into a fun month! We celebrated Thanksgiving at our house with Papa Buddy and the day after we went to Tennessee for a 2nd celebration with Granddad, Mimi, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Mike, Cousin Alyssa and Cousin Monica. Hannah Clare got a toddler bed this month, but really has been asserting her will by not sleeping through the night ANYWHERE. Mommy and Daddy are hoping for some sleep in December! Check out a few of our November highlights and enjoy the videos.

Swimming in November

After having a great summer of swimming, we kept up our lessons. Hannah loves to swim so much that she won't take her rest while it's Liam's turn. We constantly have to tell her to hold onto the wall.

Walk the plank...

Halloween comes way too early at our house. Liam and Hannah Clare had us thinking about our costumes for months. We like to dress as a family, so this year we were a family of pirates-- "Arrrr matey." Hannah enjoyed telling everyone to "walk the plank." Liam even humored me and let me draw whiskers on his face.
