November Highlights:
We love November. Aaron and I celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary. Aaron was still sick, but pulled it together for the day because friends kidnapped Amelia and it seemed crazy not to take advantage of the kid-free time. We went bowling, something we hadn't done since before we were married and something sentimental to us as a couple. It was lots of fun, even if I am a horrible bowler (evidence below). After bowling we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, and super overate. We just had to try the fried pickles, not bad, but put us overboard.

We also celebrated Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. For the first time since 2008 we went home to my parents house. Bumpy, my 99 year old grandfather, had been struggling healthwise so it was wonderful to see him. Amelia has a way of brightening him right back up. And for 99 he is doing well. It was great seeing my family, and extended family, especially those people I hadn't seen in a long time. Life pulls in in different directions so often, we never seem to all be in the same place at the same time, but I'm grateful to catch a glimpse of some every so often.

| Thanksgiving with Daddy |
The Saturday after Thanksgiving we drove up to Yankee Candle to meet Grandma O. She had been sick too, so we were a fun group. We watched Santa arrive by helicopter, played on toy boat, looked at lots of fun stuff, and had a yummy lunch. Grandma bought Amelia a hedge-hog purse and some pretty rocks that Amelia picked out in the toy room at Yankee Candle. She loves them, and plays with them daily. Nothing else is allowed in that purse, just rocks. The boat pictures are missing, but here are a couple of Amelia in front of a bunch of Christmas trees in the Yankee Candle Food Court.
Update: Grandma O Sent some picture of our fun trip to Yankee Candle. We have Amelia on Daddy's Shoulders Watching Santa Arrive by helicopter and pictures of Amelia/Mommy and Amelia/Daddy playing on the boat. Thank you Grandma for saving the day :) The other pictures must be on Aaron's phone.

Other November tidbits: Amelia loves coloring, swimming, dancing, building lego towers, tea parties, and being naked. She loves all of the Christmas decorations that have come out and feels the need to have her picture taken in front of every Christmas tree she sees.
