Now that it's December, how about a brief Thanksgiving post? It seems so long ago now that Christmas is everywhere!
Thanksgiving morning, the four of us went for a hike. We had a great time, and the girls loved being outdoors! Then we enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends, and Emma and Kaia got to play with their cousin Kirra, who was visiting. Fun, Fun, Fun!
Kaia update: She loves food!! She had her first bite of turkey, and a little bit of potato. She is rolling over and over and over, it is adorable. She loves her toys, now, and is babbling "ma-ma-ma" and "da-da-da". Lewis took her to Costco the other day and he was standing in line and he said she was shouting at the top of her lungs (no volume control at all!) "BAAA BAAA BAAAA!!! DAAA DADADADAAAA!!!!" She was perfectly happy, smiling, and ridiculously loud for someone so small!
Emma update: She is loving school, still, and loving playing with her little friends. I had a training for work, and she got to use a fire extinguisher to put out a real fire, which she was VERY excited about. She has really been working on writing and letters. She can write and spell her entire name now, and puts it on EVERYTHING!
We picked out a live tree this year and decorated it--our yard can use more trees! Kaia pretty much wanted to eat all of the ornaments, but Emma was very into strategically placing them in just the right places (often many in exactly the same place!)
Also, Emma and Kaia's Auntie Kirstie came to visit in the beginning of November--it was so great to see her and the girls loved having her around. Emma went on an "Auntie Day" and still talks about their adventures!
Happy December!!
