November Happenings and Happy 10th Birthday Trevor!

November is always our busy month with two kids' birthdays, two parties, traveling for Thanksgiving and getting ready for Christmas but we wouldn't have it any other way!  Life is good!  We also filled our time with tumble, lazy couch days, Toby cuddles, hockey, popcorn at the Addams Family movie, reading, reading, reading, sleeping, tennis, school plays, hair practice, Lego building, new headbands - unicorn of course, awesome 60 degree days and checking out a new park, doggie ad flashbacks and having to walk/run home when we couldn't get along in the car.  Ah, life!

But we also don't want to close November without saying a very happy 10th birthday to the son who made us parents!  You are one of the sweetest, most empathetic boys we know.  Your BFF is Eli and you are super sad that he is moving to NC at the end of the school year.  You love math and recess.  Sometimes have 'talkative' on your daily folder that comes home from school.  You are into reading!!!  Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Man and all The Who Is/What Is book series are favorites.  Your sister annoys you most of the time but you two love each other and can have fun when technology is put away.  Most importantly you are kind and curious and have a heart of gold.  We love you so much!  XOXO

Thanksgiving in AZ

We spent the most glorious week in AZ with Grandma Pauline and Papa John!!  We had an early morning flight but the kids perked up when they realized we flew into the 'Home Alone' airport and had no problem taking full advantage of the AA club!  Once in AZ we spent a lot of time at the park and playing tennis!  We had a special overnight at Great Wolf Lodge to celebrate Trevor's 10th birthday and doing all the things he loves like donuts, Top Golf and Barnes and Noble.  One night the adults had a steak dinner out and the kids were in heaven because sweet Bethany came to hang out with them while we were gone!  We enjoyed a yummy Thanksgiving meal (half bought, half made which was perfect), saw Frozen 2, went to the train park and the boys went to an auto show with all the fancy cars!  We got to see Bobby and Remy one night at our favorite spot, Isabella's Kitchen.  And one morning we made the rounds to a few friends' houses quick.  Papa and Ashley worked very hard on a cardboard card for her.  Ashley left the sweetest note for them to find and we gave them their Christmas presents, including a coveted Skylight Frame so that we can send them pics to have!! Loved our time all together!!!  Thank you for the wonderful memories!  XOXO
