November News

So here's what we've been up to:

My elementary school choir sang a Veteran's Day concert for our school which turned out really nice!  They also sang at the Festival of Trees.  Susan and Krista decorated a darling tree for Ellie this year.  (She had one in the festival last year too!  She was born the day it opened last year.  Since I was still in the hospital, my choir sang without me last year.  Kind of a neat memory.)


Ellie has been doing "Sooooooo big!" a lot this month.  Here is a picture!


Dave and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on November 24th.  Dave sent me flowers at work. That evening we got a couple's massage and went out for a very nice dinner.  This would count as our 3rd official date night of the year.  Let's hope we can our dating stats up this next year.  To Dave: You are my favorite person in the world! I love you!

For Thanksgiving, Dave, Ellie, Susan and I went to Joan's house (my sis-in-law).  We had the yummiest food I've eaten in a very long time!  (Thanks Jim, et al)  Here is a picture of  Dave and Ellie on Thanksgiving.


Here is a random picture of me and Ellie:


And here is one of Ellie after our Black Friday excursion:


She nodded off while eating in her high chair a couple of days ago.  I guess I throw that one in here too.


And that has been our November thus far.

Veteran's Day Parade 11/6/10

Brianna got to ride with Dave on the city's antique fire truck during the Veteran's Day Parade.  She had fun throwing candy to the crowd!








Ellie had fun hanging out with her aunts and cousins at Grandma Bennett's house.

Halloweenie

I can't believe Ellie is 11 months old already! She is getting chubby: 18 lbs and 12 oz!


We didn't want to get her cat costume dirty, so she was a ballerina for my school's trunk-or-treat.


Ellie was a pink kitty for the Ward Haloween Party.


Poor kid kept bumping into things with her hood on!



Aren't costume parades fun!
