November Snapshots

We kicked off November with the Dragon Games Fundraiser at school.

 Rollerskating Party

 Nonnie and Pops hosted the Matkin Thanksgiving in Southlake one Sunday afternoon.

 The girls love shopping for Christmas angels off the church trees.

 They had just as much fun delivering the presents to the church.  It was one day during the break, so we had time to stay and enjoy the trains and the indoor playground.

 Thanksgiving Day in Spring

 Caroline, Grayson and Carter play from sun up to sun down and Abby enjoys taking care of Avery.

 The kids did some fishing.

 Trying to get a Christmas pic for our calendar.

 Brent and I took the girls to downtown Grapevine one day for some Christmas pics.

 We ended November with our church Christmas Festival.

 We watched the fireworks from Little Bubba's truck.  It was quite a show!

Over the Hill!

I had quite a celebration for my 40th! Mom, Dad, Abby, Caroline, Brent and Ryan went all out!  They surprised me with a mariachi band.  It was a fun night with my dearest friends and family.

 Ruth made a surprise visit! 

On my actual birthday, my class had a party and one of my teammates decorated my door.  The inflatable walker was a hit with the kids.  I definitely felt special!

Happy Birthday, Abby!

We celebrated Abby's birthday throughout November.  At the beginning of the month, we had a faux slumber party.  The girls came in PJs and brought sleeping bags.  

We set up a photo booth with props and they had a blast snapping pics of each other with the polaroids. 

 They also played upstairs, . . .

  . . .ate pizza and cookie cake and played musical sleeping bags, which was a big hit!

The party ended with the Emoji movie.  It was a fun night.

Birthday Treats at School

 On her actual birthday, she chose Rainforest Cafe for lunch.  She loves the pasta there.

 That evening, Nonnie made chicken spaghetti and we had ice cream cake.  This 9 year old knows how to celebrate!
