We got to go to the Christmas parade again this year! It wasn't quite as cold as last year and Grandma B and Grandpa Mark came this time! We even got to sit in a special section where we got treats, had seats to sit on and the best view of all the floats!
Here we are waiting for the Monster Truck float - it was Ice Cream Man!
Of course we had our annual picture session while we were at the cabin for Thanksgiving! Clara and I are pretty used to it by now and have found it's just easier to cooperate than try to fight it!
See - we're getting good at posing and smiling!
I found a canoe under the house and Grandpa helped me pull it out into the yard because he thought it would make a good prop for pictures! I just liked playing in it!
Grandma B brought red scarves for all of us to wear in the pictures. Clara tied her's all by herself!
Here we are with Grandma B and Grandpa Mark!
Here we all are! Somehow we all managed to tie our scarves completely different from each other!
What is going on here? This one didn't make any Christmas cards...
Clara and I found a way to have fun with an old fishing net and Clara practiced her winking some more...
Here's where the canoe got used! Who knew you could fit 8 people in a canoe?!
For Thanksgiving we went to Blue Ridge again with everyone! Uncle Skylar and Aunt Nichole came down for the holiday, too. The cabin had a great outdoors space and the weather was perfect for being outside! Good thing, too because there wasn't any wi-fi so that meant no iPad for Owen and I!
I discovered how much fun it was to throw leaves around!
Throwing rocks into the creek with Grandpa was one of our favorite activities!
The weather was so nice we ventured out from the cabin to a park in Blue Ridge! The slide was pretty big - maybe next year for me!
Owen had both of his Paw Patrol Ryders with him to play with at the park!
At the cabin, there was a porch swing that was good for relaxing with Grandma and Grandpa...
And good for me to snuggle up with the tag on my jacket and fingers!
Of course we brought our new Clemson shirts to cheer on the Tigers!
I found plenty of things to keep me busy - things to climb on and my scooter!
We spent some time inside relaxing too!
I even snuggled with Aunt Nichole and Uncle Skylar!
I learned how to do puzzles with Mom and Grandma!
We had a good Thanksgiving meal with lots of good food!
Our bellies were full so we had to get our pajamas on after we were done eating!
Owen had his bike at the cabin and made good use of the hilly driveway!
Owen also turned the cabin's couch into a climbing challenge!
And I showed off my winking skills! Watch closely - it's quick!
Clara finally got to come to a Clemson game this season! It was sunny and beautiful fall weather! We stayed until halftime, watched some of the band and then headed home. Unfortunately Clemson ended up losing - their only loss of the season...maybe we should have stayed!
First we did some tailgating like usual and had some snacks...
Game time = Nap time!
We played some football with Dad while we were tailgating! I don't think either of us are quite ready to play for Clemson yet!
Owen is my favorite playmate! I think he likes to play with me too, but when I won't listen to what he's telling me, he says that I'm not his best friend anymore... And I'm quick to let him know when I don't want to play with him either. But overall, we get along pretty well!
We hung out at the Latone's house and got to play in Davis and Ollie's race car! I'm not big enough to drive yet, so I'm always the passenger. Afterwards we both got into our Paw Patrol pajamas to watch a movie!
Mom surprised Owen with a Ninja Turtle costume (after Halloween) so he tried it on right away! I wanted to be in the picture, too of course!
We went for our 2nd dentist appointment together - less tears for me this time around! I'm trying to be brave like Owen, but it's still a little scary!
One night Ollie and Davis came over to our house to hang out. After a pillow fight we calmed down to watch a TV show!
Watching iPad together is something that we want to do together all the time, but Mom and Dad make good use of the timer on it... On weekend mornings, we watch together in the chair in Mom and Dad's room. Usually it's fine if Owen runs the iPad, but I make sure to get my turn at running it, too!
Playing in my crib is always a good time. I watch how Owen gets in and out of the crib himself, but I don't have much interest in learning myself!
Every now and then I crash Owen's bedtime stories. More often than not though, I get kicked out because I just want to flip pages or play and don't do a good job of listening to the stories!
Here we are having a jumping competition! I'm getting better at jumping but not quite as good as Owen - yet!
