A Special Christmas Present...

This year is extra exciting for the Dittmers because we have a special present from our parents this year...

It is true mom is pregnant!!

Our excitement is beyond words! 

Yes, we do realize we took the Bible verse out of context but I'm sure all of you will forgive us. :) We hope you all will share in our excitement as baby number 9 is on the way! 

Happy Birthday Xavier!

Xavier turned 3 years old on December 9th! He has really taken being a big boy very seriously!

Birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Visits... Oh my!

It has been such a long time since we've posted! Since you've last heard from us we've had 2 birthdays... Olivia turned 5, and Mother turned... Well she'd rather not talk about it. Happy very belated birthday to both of you!

Thanksgiving was such a wonderful time of...
- Cooking
- Family Time
- Eating
- Cooking
- Games
- Eating
- Playing
- Resting
- Good Conversations
- And Lots More Eating!
We all enjoyed the day with our Aunt Lisa, Uncle Sam, and our 2 cousins Eric and Luke!
Our meal consisted of mashed potatoes, gravy, asparagus, corn, relish tray, cranberry scones, beets, stuffing, ham, and turkey. And our dessert consisted of cheesecake, apple salad  pumpkin spice pie, rice crispy treats, red velvet cupcakes, a pecan pudding pie and french silk pie!!! YUM!!

The Witzenburg family also visited us on Sunday last week! We all had a lovely time! It was such a fun visit and we can't wait to see them again soon!

We all enjoyed playing the table slapping game :)
