November - December 2015 Part 1 (Griffin's Bday)

Another month has flown by & it's time for me to catch up on the blog. It has been a busy season for us because we have officially listed our house for sale and are showing it every chance we get. In January, we will be moving to Denver, Colorado and are looking forward to the new adventures that await us there. In the meantime, we are {trying} to enjoy every busy moment we have. Here is the photo update of our family as of late ... 

Griffin taking a quick bath in the kitchen sink. 

Avery's favorite part of bath time ... making shark hair

Jaxson's kinder class in their noodle necklaces and Indian hats the week of Thanksgiving.

My sweet buddy and I

Someone turned 1 recently!! We love this kid so much! Happy Birthday our happy Griffy Bear!!

We started his birthday celebrations with a trip to Chic fil A for lunch. He was pretty excited about it & getting his own meal for the first time.

Balloons with lollipops tied to the end were a big hit. 

Opening gifts

Playing with the toys

I made a 4 layer vanilla bean cake with vanilla buttercream icing. 

Griffin was a big fan of the cake

Until he bit his finger

Happy Birthday Cutie Pie! So glad you are a part of our family!

Avery at her thanksgiving feast at school. Her class dressed up like Indians and her name was "Twirling Bear." 

Yum!! Avery was a big fan of the turkey lunch meat and mandarin oranges.

For the actually Thanksgiving Day, we invited some friends over and had a delicious meal. We just found out they will be moving in January too.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we drove up to Austin to go exploring at McKinney State Park. 

Love this! My boys <3 p="">

We tried our hand at fishing but didn't get a single bite. Hopefully next time!

Before we left to go home, Ryan and the kids waded across the river. It was a great weekend and a fun trip.
