Lunch with Friends!

We met up with some of our good friends for lunch at the Battery!  They had their giant Christmas tree up!

We're a crazy bunch of kids!  We had a good game of Uno going on before our food came!

We took a group photo by the huge Christmas tree - can you see us!?

Oh, there we are - a little bit of close up!  The tree was so big!

 

Then we rushed home to get changed into our nice clothes so we could go to a Christmas concert with Grandma B and Grandpa Mar!

Fall Leaves!

Mila and I tried our best to rake up the leaves in the yard, but there were too many!

So we gave up and just played in them!

Thanksgiving Pictures!

Of course we had our normal family photo shoot over Thanksgiving!  And Uncle Skylar was back this year to help make sure the pictures looked good!

Aunt Nichole and I helped Uncle Skylar get everything set up for the pictures!

Here we are with our Rudolph noses!

And our attempt at a fall photo with leaves in the air...it took a couple of tries to get the timing right!

And once we got the timing, we didn't account for people (like Dad) being covered up with leaves!  Not quite a Pinterest win...

Our nice normal family photo!

This was my idea - a family of superheroes!

Here's my superhero poses!

Just the girls!

Here's our family!  Plus an outfit change for me...

Then we took a family picture before eating our Thanksgiving meal!

Thanksgiving Indoor Fun!

We had lots of fun at Thanksgiving inside the cabin too!  Clara and I found plenty of ways to occupy ourselves and we had lots of people to play with!

Grandma B brought a Target catalog for each of us so we could figure out what we wanted for Christmas.  Surprise - we wanted everything!  Clara and I played some Spot It too! 

And I think we belong to the right family - we love puzzles too!

We were concentrating hard!

It was a group effort to get the big puzzle done! 

I got a new Lego set from Uncle Skylar and Aunt Nichole so I took time to put it all together right away!

Another favorite game of the trip was Go Fish!

Of course we had our tickle session with Dad!

Clara helped cook some of the Thanksgiving dishes!

I updated my Thankful Turkey from last year by writing (by myself) some of the things I'm thankful for!

We had some quiet time, too when we read stories with Grandma B!

Here's all the girls in their cozy pajama pants (and candy cane hearts)!

Thanksgiving Outdoor Fun!

We spent another Thanksgiving in North Georgia this year - and even had Uncle Skylar and Aunt Nichole back with us!  We had our normal fun and the weather was nice so we got to spend a lot of time outside!

We fried our turkey and made doughnuts like we always do, but this year we tried something new in the fryer - corn dogs!  We made our batter, dripped the hot dogs in and fried them!

It was not a clean process making corn dogs and doughnuts!

They turned out great - possibly a new tradition!

Owen finally tried a doughnut this year and realized what he's been missing out on!

I tried it all!

The backyard was perfect for corn hole - which of course then turned into a bike ramp for Owen!

I even tried riding my bike in the backyard - a little hard for me!

The deck had a nice straight spot for bikes and scooters!  I've been riding my balance bike but Dad brought Owen's old bike with training wheels for me to try.  It didn't take long for me to get the hang of peddling and steering!

We spent lots of time out by the camp fire too!

Our super hero poses!

Owen likes to roast marshmallows but then eat uncooked ones!

There was a big hill in front of the cabin - since there wasn't any traffic on the road, it was fun for scooters and bikes!
