Fun times with new friends...

Big smiles...

Making an iPad movie...

And a great plate of ashak.

As 2020 draws to a close, we find ourselves thankful for the many things that made this year special, like many hours of creative Lego design...

...lots of extra time with Daddy...

...Afghan friends who never let Coronavirus restrictions get in the way of hours of fellowship...

 ...and a new member of our household (I don't mean the bear.)

 We decorated our Christmas tree. It was a happy day.

The last warm day...Grayweather is upon us.

We've been enjoying some beautiful fall weather, with temperatures in the 60s...

 

And today we had our annual Lightner Leaf Pile/Battle.

 

October 20, 2020

October's been a great month. Hard to believe it's almost done...

We enjoyed a brief spell of pleasantly crisp weather, but now we're just cold. Hopefully there will be a few more sunny days so we can have our annual Lightner Boys' Leaf Battle...

We also tried to learn to dance the Attan. It wasn't pretty...
