Thanksgiving and Fall Fun

The end of November was a busy time for us.  The girls went to a friend's 3rd birthday party (Dylan).  Natalie became friends with a little girl a few years older than her and had a great time pretending to make and sell food from Dylan's playhouse.  Claire had enjoyed playing in the sand box.




We have a lot of trees in our yard which are very tall and lose a lot of leaves in the Fall.  Kinsey made a large leave pile for them to play in.  Natalie enjoyed running across the yard and jumping into it, and then laying in the leaves to watch the clouds and airplanes.  Claire was a little more hesitant but enjoyed it nonetheless.  I really enjoyed spending time with the two of them in the leaves after work. 


Claire celebrated her first Thanksgiving -- her last first holiday before her birthday.  We went to Emile's boss' house in Elfand.  Natalie loved it!  She latched onto the older girls there (3 of them) and I pretty much didn't see her much of the night which is not like her (she's usually stays pretty close to me when we're in a large group).  Natalie spent the most time with the oldest (11 years old), Lilah.  She was so sweet with her.  It was great seeing Natalie come out of her shell with other kids.  Claire spent a lot of time hanging out with me which was wonderful!  Dinner was wonderful and the company was even better.






The weather had been pretty nice so we got a chance to spend some time playing outside.
