End of November

 Bundled boy!  Getting ready to take Nappie for a walk!

 Allie loves to paint

Our old neighbors stopped by, we get to see them about once a year since they moved to Boston.  

Chippey arrived at the end of November!  Here are the girls after opening their first gift from him.  So happy!

Thanksgiving

We're so thankful for our many blessings!  We celebrated with the Colorado fam, Grammie and Papo and Great Grandma.  It was nice that Great Grandma was able to see our new house as she'd been really wanting to see it!  I didn't get to take many pictures (per usual) but I'm happy I captured a few fun moments!

Celebrating Allie's 5th Birthday with the Colorado family!

They drove though a lot of snow and ice to get here!  We're so thankful they made it safely!  They are troopers, that's for sure!

 Gramps was great at keeping Charlie entertained!  Charlie was into screaming "Mom" at that time in his life and wanted constant attention!

 Singing to our 5 year old!

 She wanted her cake to be a rainbow theme and of course it had to be a DQ ice cream cake!

 Such a happy girl!

 The Bronco's beat the Bears!  Charlie got his adorable Manning jersey from the Colorado crew!

 Down came her door decorations!  They had a lot of fun playing with it.

We headed to Build-a-bear on her actual birthday and she and Claire picked out their very fancy reindeer.  

 Charlie had a blast at the play area

 Pretzels with their awesome aunt

 and uncle!

Michigan in November

We decided to pick apples on the last day that the orchard was open.  It was really quiet and there was a lane road leading to the apple trees.  When I was a young girl, our family tradition was to let us drive down the lane road on the way to my grandparents house.  The girls were great drivers!

The apples were delish and they only charged us 8$ to fill our box!  What a fun time and a bargain!

YUM!

November 5th-walking boy!

Christmas card photo shoot

 We didn't snap many as we luckily got something that worked with Charlie.  These are a couple we didn't use.  Allie loves to pose and take pics!

Preschool Thanksgiving program

Allie was a little Indian fishing in the River!

 Claire reuniting with her fave teacher!  I let her come out of school for a couple of hours to watch it and to celebrate Allie's birthday at Menchies after the performance .

 Thankful that these two are the best of buddies!  Allie is wearing my old Indian Princess necklace (I think, or it may be Kristie's)!

Menchies for fro yo!  Allie talked about going there for her birthday for ages!
