November Picture Montage

November 1- before outpatient surgery & after outpatient surgery.  She was sooo brave, and did so well!

 

November 5 - first trip to the Robinson Mall, and playing in the children's area.  She loved it, and Evan made many friends.

November 10 - swimming at the Hampton Inn pool.  Nana and Papa gave us a free night at the hotel. The kids loved having the opportunity to swim during cold weather!

 

November 13 - after some errand running while Evan was in pre-school, my cookie attempt to keep Ava awake was a major fail.  This girl loves to sleep in the car which is great except it throws off her nap schedule completely.  We are often doing everything possible to keep her awake in the car including rolling all the windows down.  We are not very successful most of the time.

November 14 - play date at Josiah's house.  So awesome that we met this other Pittsburgh family in China.  Josiah and Ava share same Gotcha days (June 24th).  

Being goof balls!

Two peas in a pod sharing a cushion in a cabinet!

 November 15- my little fashionista!  She loves these boots that a co-worker of Jeremy's gave to us!

November 18 - Ava loves to play and dig in many of the kitchen cabinets.  Here she decided to put plastic sandwhich bags on her hands....future doctor or nurse maybe?

November 23- Big day with lots of 1sts!  Ava stole most of Daddy's food from the Brighton Hot Dog Shop!  She ate most of his hotdog, and then finished off a hamburger!

Yummy!

 Ava loves to clean....she will take a washcloth and practice her cleaning skills!

 

Trevor lost his 1st top tooth!  He was very brave when Daddy helped pull it!

The boys spend many hours playing legos!  They can create some pretty amazing things and do a great job of following the building directions also!

November 24 - 5 months with my Family!!!!

November 25 - making a meal for a friend who had surgery.  This was Ava's 1st time helping make brownies.  Her favorite part was licking the spatula when we were all done!

 

November 28 - 1st Thanksgiving with Ava.  Smoked the most amazing turkey and enjoyed hanging out with Meemaw and Papa for a few days.

Delicious Thanksgiving Dinner

Ava loves books and reading!

Whew...that was a lot packed into that month!  Hence the reason I am so behind in blogging...we are busy, busy, busy but loving it all!
