November: The one with the party (and the PhD)


 Man am I getting terrible at updating this blog! I keep thinking about giving it up and using Instagram chatbooks like everyone else, but there are still so many pictures I don't want to post there, but want to share and remember here. So for now, I'll carry on. I like to think of this as our family journal, and for those purposes, maybe a once a month post is as much as we'll want to look back at anyway. It's sort of a highlight reel of our lives, with some everyday moments thrown in for good measure.

One highlight for November . . .
Lilly turned SIX!



   She had a fun birthday party (and leaving TX party) at Mt. Playmore with all her friends.
Holly and Annabelle came from school, and Hailey and Madison Sharp, her old friends Beza and Lydia joined us, and cousins Dylan and Maddy, too.

They had a great time playing and eating pizza and fairy cupcakes.
 


 Lilly and her friend Annabelle have matching dresses and they conspired to wear them to school for Lilly's birthday. They were such cute little twins all day.
  
  

  

   
It was awesome to have Grammy in town for a few days to celebrate with us!



Lilly was pretty thrilled with her birthday gift, her very own amazon dot, aka Alexa.

And here's some fun from the rest of the month . . .



Super Moon!

  




  


  
  

  


  
And perhaps the biggest highlight of all, Drew finished his PhD!!!
