Catching these moments makes my heart happy!

I love how these girls love each other so much!

 We also got the tree up, and Buttercup thinks it is just for her, as she has taken up a spot under the tree.

and as tradition goes, we had our first camp out under the tree after it got put up.

 Isaiah helping Quinn and Emily at therapy!

 Denali helping with math homework.

 Getting gifts ready.

 Homemade gifts are the best!

We tried not to give away the gifts, but will share later!  

 We went and celebrated our friend Amelia's birthday!  It was not the easiest, but we are trying our best to work through the pain.  Remembering where she is now!

Getting back home and back into the swing of things is good.  

Here we are at therapy and I love how all my kids want to be a part of Quinn's therapy.

I am also thankful our therapists are ok with them wanting to be part of it!

Finally the day of the wedding.

 We took some picts in Art Alley.

 Sometimes they both will still let me do their hair.

 My drama queen.

 Chapel in the Hills is beautiful!

 Family.

 Groomsmen and Bridesmaids

 Everyone could wear tennis shoes.

 Grandpa and Quinn have a special bond.

 Gotta be silly sometimes.

 How cute!

 A beautiful moment.

 On the way home we had lots of naps!  

It's fun to be part of beautiful moments.

 Some of us did not take naps and want everyone to know that too.

Back to our Rapid City Adventure.

 Downtown Rapid City has all the presidents on the corners.  It was fun going around and finding them.  It was fun talking about them.  We had to get a picture with Regan, because Isaiah did a report on him last year.  So that was fun!

With the election coming up, remember to VOTE!  

Past that, let's try to be nice!  We will leave it at that!  Just be nice!

 Then we had to get a picture with the big paint brush!

 Then off to Bear Country.  The reindeer were beautiful!

 The baby bears were adorable!  They would follow my kids around the pen to watch up at them.  It was fun!

 Then off to Reptile Gardens.  Learning about snakes and birds and exploring the grounds.

 This was our first time up there in the off season, and I loved it.  No crowds!  things were less expensive!  Things were starting to close down if they were not already closed for the season, but having not waiting lines and beautiful weather was worth it!

 We spent way to much time checking ourselves out in the mirrors!  

Crazy mirrors are to much fun!

 We had to pan for gold and gems.  This was the only place open for that and they were closing after the weekend!

 Then a walk around Keystone and a bit of ice cream!  It was a packed day, and then off to bed to get ready for the wedding!
