Your Patterson Cousins

Hi Kristen,

  This is the best picture I could take of the 4 Patterson kids.  I have a dozen pictures, but there's always someone making a funny face, or looking elsewhere or something! 
  Maddie is the left.  She's 7.  She likes hats and fashion and being independant.  Eva is in the middle.  She is 5.  She likes babies, singing and being a little mommy.  Graedon is on the right.  He's 3.  He is a rabble-rouser.  He is very active, likes trucks and picking up worms.  Gen is the baby.  She's almost 1.  She likes peek-a-boo, clapping and eating things. 

  Have a safe and fun car trip to NB.

See You Soon!

Hi Kristen!

  I have a video for you, but it won't work.  I'll have to show it to you in person, then. 

  We can't wait to see you this weekend.  Do you like to swim?  Grammy and Grampy have a pool and your cousins spend a lot of time in it.  There are floaties and noodles to help you if you need them.  There's also a trampoline, a sandpile and lots of toys and movies.  I'm sure you'll have a ball! 

  When you come to visit, we can go for ice cream.  We can go to the park, too.  You can come to our house and see our cat and our bunnies. 

  See you soon!

The Cat Show

Hi Kristen,

  Maddie wanted to have a cat show.  This is how it turned out.  Tigger was disqualified for unsportsman-like behaviour, but Moonshadow and Luna competed against each other. 

Pictures of the Noble Christmas Party

Hi Kristen!  These are pictures of the Noble Christmas party. 

Here are your Aunt Kendra and Uncle Dave playing Phase 10.

Here's Grampy Mitch with your cousin Geneviève.

Here are your Aunt Emilie and Uncle Richard.

These are your cousins Eva, Gabby and Maddie.

This is your Uncle Shawn.

After supper, we all went outside. It was very cold, but we were so full from all the food that we had to burn off some calories!

After that, we went to the Christmas Eve service.  Gabby, Abby and Eva (and Shawn and Graedon) went up front and sang Away in a Manger.  Maddie and the rest of the Nobles listened in the pews.

We ended the night at Grammy Pat's and Grampy Mitch's to open presents and stockings.  I don't have any pictures of that because I got too wrapped up in the excitement.  Trust me, it was a lot of fun!  I hope you had a good Christmas!
