November 2013

November found us knee-deep in football play-offs and lots of fun family time.  The girls kept growing and growing - Vivian turned 9 months old!

Ava's new favorite past time - coloring.  Especially with markers, and anything that is not actually supposed to be colored on. 

Vivian's funny faces....this girl is such a comedian already.  She makes us laugh every, single day.

Nightly dance parties happened....and Vivian started pulling up on the couch and bouncing to the music.  Even her teachers said that she started dancing whenever they turned the music on at school.  And Ava continued to perfect her slick dance moves.

Dance parties are always followed by daddy snuggle time.

Sisterly hugs, love, and wrestling.

Ava and her new haircut....doesn't she look SO grown up?!!

And we celebrated daddy's birthday.  Ava colored a picture for him and wrote her name on it.  She picked out a football cake at the store, too.

Spaghetti night - Ahhhhhhh!

We enjoyed taking lots of trips to the library, and had fun at story and music time too.

Oh, this girl and her bugs.  Obsessed with caterpillars, she is.  She smuggled this one (of many) into the house.  (I found at least 3 dead ones randomly throughout the month, one was even in the laundry.)

We even talked Mimi into taking a quick trip to KC one afternoon to see the new penguin exhibit.  So fun!

Bedtime snuggles are the best....
