We had a beautiful November here in Idaho. The weather was so mild that we could still enjoy playing outside even as we kicked off the holiday season.
Sarah has been struggling a bit to settle into her role as big sister. She would still very much like to be the baby of the family. She definitely has her sweet moments with Chris, though. One day Cinderella climbed in to Chris's crib to help in the battle to get him to sleep. Best part: he actually went to sleep!
Oh, life with a 3 year old. On this particular day, Chris was actually taking a nap, and I was letting Sarah watch a movie while I grabbed a few minutes to get something done. I came back in the room to find her sitting in a mountain of Cheerios snacking away. I just left her there. She was happy.
Chris has been smiling!
Kelson had a meeting in Boise, so the kids and I took advantage of the beautiful weather to spend a day at the zoo. Sarah was super excited about the carousel.
Chris was not happy in the stroller, so he ended up in the baby carrier sleeping for the whole trip, and I pushed around a stroller full of all of our junk while Sarah rode holding on to the front. Time to find a double stroller. That is a classic Sarah face, by the way.
By the end of the day, Sarah was riding in the baby seat.
A second round on the carousel was necessary. Sarah has been talking about the carousel ever since.
Chris slept through his whole first trip to the zoo, but at least he got to wear his zoo shirt.
We spent Thanksgiving weekend with family in Baker City. As is tradition, we baked a ridiculous amount of pie. Cooking with Aunt Katy was a very popular activity.
Kelson got up early on Thanksgiving morning to run in the local 5K turkey trot.
We went to my Aunt Diane's house for dinner and had a wonderful time with all of our family. We haven't been able to spend Thanksgiving with my family since we got married, so it was extra wonderful to be home this year.
Kelson entertained Sarah at dinner by making dolphin sounds for her stuffed dolphin.
When I told Sarah we were going to make pies, she insisted that we needed chocolate. She couldn't wait for that slice of chocolate pie.
We finished up the day by going to see Moana with all of the kids. What a fun holiday. We have ever so much to be grateful for this year.
