For Alexa's 8th birthday, we drove up to L.A. to have lunch at the American Girl Store. Here she is with Julie (her second American Girl doll). For her birthday she chose a Rebecca doll-a new sister for Julie!
Alexa with her guest of honor-best friend/cousin Riley. 
In addition to a trip to the American Girl Store, Daddy said that Alexa could get her ears pierced!! Here they are :)
Alexa had her second violin recital yesterday. She played Bach's Minuet III. We were very lucky to also have Papa, Emmy & Grampa in the audience! Here is the performance!
Look who came to visit us Halloween night? Little Red Riding Hood & G.I. Joe! And what cute Jack-O-Laterns they brought!
This is Justin's share-sorting out by variety. Alexa used the dining table...
Here is Justin with his fellow Kindergarteners, hosting their first chapel. Mrs. Smith said that in the 13 years she has taught chapel they have always sung this song for their first chapel. So cute.From left to right: Luke, Emma, Justin, Hana, Canaan, Zack & Micah.
