The Latest in the Kennedy House

The Latest Cute Craft. It's a mini-muffin pan turned into a Christmas Countdown Calendar. So Cute!








Here you can see how each square has magnet strips on the back to hold it over the openings. The mini-muffin pan was $4.50 at Wal-mart (you just have to drill 2 holes in the top). Now I just have to find small enough candies to fit four in each space.




The Latest Cake. It was a baby shower for twins. Smartest idea yet-I bought the cake at Costco and bedazzled it with fondant.




The Latest Field Trip. Ben's turn this time-Preschool trip to Ridgefield Farms and our search for the perfect pumpkin. Luckily we found it!




Here's the finished product. Ben accidentlly broke off the stem-Oops!





The Latest Golf Outing. We went with the Liddells and it was Robyn's first time behind the wheel of a golf cart. We only had one mishap taking out a couple of elderly putters but they're fine (just kidding). Andy won (of course) but I was happy with my score (mostly because we applied the 8-swings-per-hole-max rule).


The Latest Girl's Trip. Time-Out for Women in Richmond, Virginia. Here are the ladies from my ward in Harpers Ferry that I went with. I've landed myself among some of the most happy, kind, fun, Christ-like women I've ever met. I'm lucky to have made so many new friends so quickly.

The Latest Mommy-Daughter Project. Knitting hats with a loom. The girl's love it and I love that they're learning a hobby. Emily's making me a hat, I've made her a hat and scarf and they've each made a hat for the Keck twins.





I had to add this picture of Jenna with her best-friend-in-the-whole-world Isabelle. Friends make life so much sweeter!

"Freedom's Run" 10K Race


Last Saturday Andy and I ran in the Freedom's Run 10K race in Shepherdstown, West Virginia (about 10 minutes from our house). The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. It was all ran on the tow path of the C&O canal.

Here I am in the home stretch on the path heading back up to the road from the canal. It was a lot of fun. Anyone want to join us next year?
