My favorite pics of November

Thanksgiving and Rob's 39th (!!!!!) birthday

We were in FL for 8 days; able to spend half the time with my family and then headed South for Rob's birthday and Thanksgiving. We had a bbq at Brett's house, dinner at mom's house and spent time with Poppie. I did come down with a nasty bug one day so luckily mom was able to help Rob out with the kids.
I met Lisa!! I have been asking (begging, pleading) Oma to let me go the next time they head to Italy but they have not made the trip - and don't plan to anytime soon. Rob has given me the green light to book a trip next year. YAY!

At Sunny's Thanksgiving presentation at school.

At Sugar Mill Gardens with Mimi!

Everyone helped blow out the candles. Wade is not sure what is going on .. or maybe he just can't wait to dig in to that cake!

One of the best things about Thanksgiving ... spending time with family you don't see very often - or in may case, are meeting for the first time :)

My 31st birthday

This will be out of order since my birthday is after Thanksgiving, after Rob's birthday, and after our trip to Florida; however, I haven't had the chance to go through all the FL photos yet. We got home from FL at 2 am Sunday morning; so we unpacked, I went for a run, the kids napped and then we went down to a little creek by our house. We got one family photo (where all our faces are visible and all eyes are open) - thanks to my new wireless remote! Rob cooked eggplant parm for dinner and we had carrot cake for dessert! The perfect birthday, really!! I am so grateful for another year full of amazing memories!
