Wow, how are we almost through 2021? It feels like it just started, and here we are almost in December. Maybe this is just a sign of my old age now because I don't remember feeling like time passed quickly when I was a child. I remember school days seemed to go on forever. Haha! But watching these kids grow up does make me a little sad to see it all going by so fast. Soon all we'll have are the memories so here are some of those for this month. In November, I was loving:
The Blue Ridge Mountains! We took a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway to start the month off and to see the beautiful fall foliage.
Making this girl laugh by throwing leaves at her.
Visiting one of Daddy's favorite places.
Showing Maggie a beautiful waterfall.
Hiking in the mountains with these adventurous boys.
A yummy bowl of sweet potato chili.
This silly little princess.
She's obsessed with Elsa and Frozen (aka Let It Go) now.
Silly selfies!
Cute mama and baby giraffe.
And some of Santa's reindeer.
Spending a chilly day in the bleachers to watch big brother Evan receive his first JROTC promotion.
This handsome cadet.
Little girls who "read" their menu upside down.
Little sisters who are in love with big brothers. She thinks Mattox is the most handsome man in the world.
Little spaghetti faces. Looks just like big brother Evan.
First trees of the season and first peppermint milkshakes. It might also be the only milkshake because I hate that they only give you a small size but charge the "large" price now. Blah.
Stylish little divas in their blue jeans and boots.
Mommy's girl.
Mama dog and her little pups.
Little girls who love new clothes.
The sweetest little almost 5 year old.
