The Many Adventures of Honey Bear

Time marches on at the Reese compound. Bear (that's the nickname we have given her) continues

to get bigger, and we keep slowly becoming parents. We didn't do too much new or exciting this last week, but I will fill you in on what we did do.

Last Sunday we took a family trip to the mall. It seemed like a good idea at first, but once we got there she suddenly seemed very small, and we realized that she is not quite big enough for crowded public spaces yet, especially since she hasn't gotten her immunizations. We were however, able to get our family Christmas ornament. Yearly ornaments is a Reese family tradition, and one that Jennie and I have adopted. Every year we pick out a special ornament with the year printed on it to hang on the tree, and then we get each other one as a gift. We have added to the tradition by getting one when we go on vacation as well. I might do a special blog series on here at Christmas time about our ornaments now that I think about it. Anyway, this year we got a "babies first Christmas" one while we were at the mall. We can't wait to hang it on the tree!

Other than that, we had a few dinners with family that were nice. We broke bread with the Bennions on Sunday and saw their famous new fancy kitchen. Then Monday night we had a Halloween party with the Sheahans. I posted Ada's cat burglar costume last week. Over the weekend we went out to eat twice, albeit one of the meals was only Denny's. Then Saturday night we went to Grandma and Papa Sheahans to watch a football game and snuggle with grandma in her rocking chair. We finished off the week at omelet with the Bowlers (monthly family dinner). It was a pretty nice weekend, and great to spend so much time with family.

That is all for this week. I have vacation time coming up thanksgiving week so we are looking forward to that, and decorating for Christmas soon. All of the holidays seem fresh and new with our little Bear around. It is a very exciting time to be a Reese!
