November

I know, I know...it's been way too long since I have posted.  It's been busy, but here goes...
In early November Grammy and Uncle Adam came down for a visit.  While here we took the opportunity to check out a local corn maize. Here we are listening to our instructions.

It was a very cool place - we'll be back.  While here we celebrated Grammy's birthday and mine. 

Kendall took a beating at daycare...apparently she still hasn't mastered the art of defense.  But, in other news she has pretty much mastered potty training!

Here are the girls and daddy watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  Mom, dad, Avery and I got up early and went on a one mile turkey trot to start the day off right. 

We kept up our Thanksgiving day tradition of taking the time to write down something we are each thankful for on the table cloth.  Since the girls are still little, we do their handprints...although I did write in Kendall's print this year that she was "thankful for her toys."

 We took some time to play in the leaves. 

Avery is nearly walking and really getting around. She can turn a circle faster than anyone else I know! In fact she took her first step on Thursday, December 1st.  It was just one step and then she fell but she has gotten much better at standing for long periods.  I do predict she'll be walking by her birthday.

Believe it or not this only represents about half of the food we made and ate...it wouldn't all fit on the table!

 Kendall is really into puzzles - here she is coloring one.

The xmas tree.  We put up the rest of our outside lights today and the stocking are hung on the chimney with care. 

We also enjoyed visiting with Great Gma Alice who spent much of the month of November here in SC at mom and dads.  We just sent her back to Michigan this morning.  For more on what we did while she was here visiting, check out mom and dad's blog.
