November travels....

November include travels to the coast with friends and Arizona for the holiday.   The rest of the month just got filled up with friends.

Here's M and her besty playing at the play gym.

And M taking a swing on the rope.  She's pretty adventurous and sees the big kids do something, and wants to try it.

Not sure what M & Q are doing here. .... hiding bodies .... :).  M started it, and Q was more than happy to play along.

A day at the mall with the Ragaway boys.

 I had a meeting over at the building where M's school is, and went in early to watch her on the playground.  She was just sitting on top of the rock wall the whole time.  Teacher said they opened it up, and she just scampered on up with no help and no fear.

I took M to the mall to let her pick out a hat/glove set in the store, and she found this dress instead.  Put it on and would not take it off.... good thing it was half off that day!!!   She has gotten a lot of use out of her "Princess Dress".

Here's the hat, but she's wearing her Elmos slippers as gloves ;)?

Our trip to the coast with the Kennedys... good thing we brought the little potty.  Comes in handy on the side of the road!

A beautiful sunrise!

And beautiful day for exploring and taking some pictures ... lots of pictures (including video ones).

Some beach time - not too bad for November.

An attempt at crabbing.  We didn't catch but one, which wasn't enough for everyone, so we threw it back.

Bathtime buddies.  They are pretty cute together.

And the token picture in the backpack.  She actually didn't fall asleep this time.

And a trip to the air museum.  M thought it was pretty cool - but liked the play area best and didn't want to leave :).

And back home to see Paris.  She's such a sport, dressing up in Elsa tutu and all :)

A night at the Portland Night Market - which is like a street fair with vendors but in a warehouse and at night with beer.  Pretty cool.

Just a cutie pie getting too big too fast:

And then Thanksgiving in Arizona.  She loves her cousins and doesn't want to miss out, but ended up passed out.

She loves GoMa's Barbie house, so when we were shopping for underwear for Dad, we ended up with this.

She wants everything tho, and has gotten to just telling us to "put it on my list" ;)

Sitting with the big kids at the big kids table for 2nd Thanksgiving dinner.

Keeping up with the big cousins again!

 We got to visit my friend Katie and her daughter Gabs.

Playing hide-and-seek when the other kids were away (uh, not so well though).

 With Lil' Joe!

Helping GoMa in the yard, and with dinner.

A little hike in the San Tans on our last day.

out!
