We have had a wonderful end to 2012! For Thanksgiving we went to the Foulks' home (Michael's brother Scott's in-laws) in southern New Jersey and had a fabulous time. Thank you to the Foulks for their generosity and kindness! Here are a couple highlights.
On our way to the Foulks we took a detour through the quaint hamlet of Princeton. We walked around the campus of the local university and were impressed by the beautiful buildings and grounds. Michael's convinced that Micah should go to Princeton -- after BYU of course!
For Thanksgiving Micah got some adorable pajamas from his Grandma Robertson and he ended up wearing them all day! Thanksgiving dinner was so delicious! We especially loved the homemade applesauce!
The day after Thanksgiving we took a little outing to Philadelphia with the Foulk family. This display was at the Liberty Bell exhibit and caught our budding lawyer's eye right away.
Per usual, eating was part of our visit to Philly. Neither Michael nor I had ever had a Philly Cheese Steak, and they most definitely did not disappoint! Yum!
The uncracked side of the Liberty Bell, because the line to take a picture of the cracked side was much longer (Micah was there too, but sleepy in his stroller)
We were pretty excited to see the Rocky statue and run up the Rocky stairs! Another check off the Bucket List :)
For Christmas this year we came to Oregon to be with Michael's parents. It has been wonderful to be in their home and spend time with them!
We decided to open presents from my parents before we left for Portland. Micah had a fun time opening presents (or watching us open his presents).
Pretty excited about his presents!
Going to get a Christmas tree -- a Robertson family tradition!
Michael did a great job cutting down the selected pine. He had just finished his finals that morning (he worked on them for the first five days that we were at his parents' house) and luckily was not too worn out to cut it down.
It was so fun to decorate the tree! I don't think there is an empty branch.
Christmas morning
I think this picture is so cute! He loves holding and hugging his giraffe, whom he's named Geo.
Happy New Year! See you in 2013!
It is wonderful having you with us. We will attempt to hold you captive on the 7th when you plan to leave.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, Micah looks so much bigger, and we just saw him! Super cute pics.
