Thanksgiving Hikes!

While we were in North Georgia for Thanksgiving we did some hiking!

It was pretty cold so we had to bundle up!

We took a break at the half way point to have a snack!  I'm all smiles here but I wasn't too crazy about the hike - the leaves made it slippery!

Here we are!  (Dad came up a little later than all of us so missed this hike)

Another day Mom and Dad went with Owen on a hike!  They made it all the way to a waterfall!

They got to see two different waterfalls! 

Owen did some rock climbing during their rest!

This is what happens after outdoor time hiking!

Day Away from Mom and Dad!

Mom and Dad went to a Clemson football game so we got to spend the day with Grandma and Grandpa Young!

We went to a Veteran's Day parade - got to ride our bikes and get balloon animals!

We also went on a Costco run! 

Clara was worn out so she got cozy for a nap!

Meanwhile, I spent time outside and found a tree to swing from.  I had to climb to reach it - took me a few times, but I didn't give up and finally made it!

Clara Kay!

It's not often these days that either of us let Mom pick out clothes for us - we have some pretty strong opinions! But I do like my purple dress!  And one day Owen and I both wore our track suits to school! (Usually Mom does my hair at home, but some days it works better to do it after we get to school...)

I got this bike 2 years ago and now I'm almost too big for it!  But that doesn't stop me!

Frozen is my favorite movie!  I like to wear my dress while watching the movie and sometimes Owen will even dress up with me!  I also like to watch it with my Anna and Elsa dolls!

This is pretty normal for an evening at home after school!  If you need a translation, I'm a hot mess!  And you can see why Mom doesn't always let me pick out my outfits!

Bunk Beds!

Mom surprised me with a new bed one day - and not just any bed - a bunk bed!  Then Dad and Grandpa Mark painted it blue for me!  

I started out sleeping on the top bunk but most nights I sleep on the bottom (it's bigger)!

Clara and I haven't had any sleepovers yet in the bunk bed but I'm sure it's in the future!

Field Trip!

One of the cool things about Pre-K is that we get to take field trips sometimes!  So far we've just been to the Atlanta library but it's fun to get out of the classroom!  We go to the library for storytime and a craft.  On one trip we got to see a farmer milk a real cow!

Here we were heading to the library and walking downtown!  Tyler was my buddy!

We made pirate masks for our craft!

This is where the librarian read to us for story time!

We had to take one final picture to document our field trip!

And Another Birthday Party!

Another weekend I went to the 5th birthday party of my classmate Kydal.  She had the party at her house and we did all sorts of fun activities (and just ran around in the backyard too).  It was a PJ Mask themed party so we all got our own capes and masks!

We decorated PJ Mask cookies with frosting and all sorts of sprinkles!

Here I am with my buddies James, Hunter and Charles!

We were having fun being silly (as usual)! 

I took my picture with all the PJ Masks - Owlette, Cat Boy and Gekko!

And I basically kept my new mask and cape on all weekend!

One of the new things that all my friends have been having at their parties is a pinata!  Here I am getting in a good swing at Kyndal's pinata!  

Another Birthday Party!

It was my turn next to go to a birthday party!  This party was for the 5th birthday of my best buddies Spencer and Elliott!

This place was fun - it had bikes like we have at school and track!

Here I am with one of the birthday boys!

There was a mini-ball pit too!  I'm in there with Spencer, Elliott and Henry somewhere!  There was also a zip line, climbing wall and trampolines!

The most we'd slow down for a picture! My best buddies - Miles, Henry, Spencer and Elliott!
