Halfway through November!

We're more than halfway through November which means Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Christmas will be here before we know it!  Here is some of what we've been up to this month.

Riley got a MUCH needed haircut!  It had been almost an entire year.  She never wanted to get it cut.  I finally had to make her get it cut.  

Riley participated in her 2nd fun run!  She did the Burn Run Fun Run.  It was freezing cold out, but she ran anyway.  Such a trooper.

Riley and I went to see Disney Live!  Pirates and Princess Adventure.  It was an adorable show and Riley had a blast.  We loved it so much that we came home and ordered tickets for Disney on Ice in January.

We prepared for the cold and snow.  Before it came I took the kids to the Lights on the Lake walk through.  The kids loved it until they got tired.  Then it was a nightmare!!!  Let's just say that the drive through the lights HAS to be better.

Riley wrote her letter to Santa.  She is hoping she gets everything she asked for.

We had our first of what I am sure will be many, snowfalls.  We only got an inch or two of snow, but the kids went out to play in it anyway.  Avery did not enjoy the snow as much as I thought she would.

We practiced baking.  We're gearing up for the baking season and started by baking some easy Snickerdoodle cookies.  They're Jeremy's favorite, but clearly the girls love them too!

I guess that about sums up the month so far.  We're looking forward to Thanksgiving and decorating for Christmas.  Stay tuned for those updates coming soon!!!
