November Moments

Can't be too far from mom. 

Back to the pool

Being silly sisters

Catching up with friends

Like mother, like daughter

Card night. I was the big winner!!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving with the family. Our 1st one back in the USA. EL managed to get locked in the bathroom (the internal mechanics of the door knob broke). MA helped Grandma in the kitchen. After dinner, people fell asleep wherever they were. The next day, Grandam got the Christmas decorations out. She had plenty of helpers to decorate.

Christmas Card Photo Shoot

A fantastic friend that does photography helped me out. Here are some from our Christmas card shoot. It was freezing out that morning. The kids did pretty well and smiling thru the coldness.

Ohpa's Birthday

Ohpa turned 91! We had a nice celebration at the house for him. Lots of candles, presents, and good company. 

Then we made some chocolate covered strawberries. Everyone loved them!

St. Louis Soccer

MA had one last tournament. It was a fun weekend with just me and her. We played soccer, hung out, had IHOP for dinner, Steak n Shake for lunch and got home very late on Sunday. The girls played hard all weekend and walked away with 1st place! Well worth the drive home in the dark.
