November - Marine's Birthday Ball

This  year/last year technically, the girls had a chance to go to their first Marine Corps' Kid's Ball. We hadn't heard of anyone doing one before, but a unit was doing one here, so the girls got to wear their flower girl dresses for a record 3rd time! Daddy was expecting a bit more from the menu. He said they ate chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and green beans, and there was candy strewn over all the tables that the kids inhaled all night. They covered the dance floor in balloons too. Someone with kids must have planned it! They all had fun and it was nice to get them dressed up with Daddy for a special date. 

J. wanted to go too, but he didn't have any pants, haha. 

I think D. looks very grown-up here. 

He loves his big sisters. 

Daddy in all his Marine Corps glory
