On November 1st the girls got a fish as mommy and daddy promised for Leia’s good report card, Ivy got one too providing she promised to work on her sight words. We did wait until after we got back from Florida so we did not have to worry about feeding them while we were out of town. They were so excited to get their new pets!

Lisa got to go to the annual Christmas Village trip with Mimi and aunt Stacy before Mimi left for her tip to Los Vegas. This year Mrs Debra joined us too. So much fun and love getting to spend time with special ladies in our life.

Thankful we got to go watch Katie in her 2nd grade program this year. Katie did a awesome job! Ivy liked that she knew several of the songs since she had been learning them at her school too. Love having the girls all in the same school system!

Leia’s last game this season was Friday November 4th. She loved playing soccer with Katie and having uncle Mark as the coach. The only way she says she wants to play next year is if uncle Mark coaches her team again; uncle Mark is awesome!

Sweet cousin love

Mimi went to Los Vegas to celebrate Thanks-mas with Al’s girls and got back the day before her birthday for us to celebrate. Unfortunately, Lisa had to work on Mimi’s birthday but we got to celebrate with Mimi that evening with a yummy dinner and lots of fun, laughter, and love.

The girls were out of school on Veteran’s Day so we spent the day enjoying time together hiking on some new trails near Mimi’s house then enjoyed the evening at home in front of the fireplace enjoying the cooler weather that just hit our little part of the world.

Aunt Lisa got to go on part Katie’s filed trip since it aunt Stacy had to work the day it was rescheduled. It was fun getting to meet Katie’s friends and see her interact with her classmates. When aunt Stacy arrived we tagged out and I went to go get things ready for our upcoming out mother-daughter trip to Turks and Caicos.

Wednesday before leaving Lisa had to work but took time out to have a special breakfast with Ivy and lunch with Leia. Love my little monkeys!
