In November We...

made cookies with Pop (more than once, actually)



ate breakfast together pretty much every morning

(On this particular morning I put Owen's plate and drink at his place on the table across from Ethan.  He looked over at Ethan, got down from his chair, made a few trips back and forth to move his cup and plate and another chair directly next to Ethan and sat down to eat right next to his brother.)



made a few more trips to United Artisans with our friend, Willie



went shopping at Ikea with cousin Yaya






and then spent the day playing together at Nana's house






had a special Mommy-Daddy-Owen day
and let Mommy take lots of pictures






oh, and my favorite part of the day was splashing water out of my cup















spent at least 30 minutes throwing our mixing bowls around the living room 
and falling on the floor laughing hysterically the entire time



got ourselves dressed up in our hat, mittens...and sun glasses,
because we can't leave our house without them



made turkey hats with our friends at the library



went to the mall to get our picture taken with Santa



had a tea party with our friends Melanie, Lois
and our newest little friend, Aaron






made cousin Anna smile



had a play date with our friends Brinley and Willie -
and spent some time splashing/pouring water on the floor -
- because it was so much fun



and ate a thanksgiving meal with Ethan in his classroom at school!




And in December, so far we've...

picked out and decorated our Christmas tree



our favorite part was watching them use the chainsaw






went on a walk with our neighbors, Chloe and Bryce



had TONS of fun riding Chloe's Big Wheel






and went to Christmasville with our friends Ellen and Hudson 









where we got our face painted like Santa Claus










got our picture taken with a very, very tall man



rode the ferris wheel















and pushed our little brother in the stroller 
ALL the way back to the van
ALL by ourself!
