November Highlights

November was filled with lots of wardrobe changes, pictures on the bed, a first haircut, and leaves. 

It's amazing to see how much the girls change from month to month.

Anna always looks so cute sitting on the bed.

So does Sarah. I had to beg her to take this picture and smile. Immediately after I took the picture she said, "okay Mom now put your phone away."  

Anna got a trim in the back. I cut off about two inches!

I could do a post on Leah's outfits, and Sarah's faces. It would be awesome.

We used straws to make these curls. 

 Straw curls.

She is counting down the days until she can wear my high heels. She thought my heels looked really good with this outfit. 

Sarah always asks to give soft kisses to Anna's hand. 

Cute sisters.

A fox in the leaves.

Here's a bunny in the leaves.

Don't forget the baby in a really big puffy coat stuffed in a Bumbo.

Sarah out grew too big for the toddler bed. It took a couple nights of her waking up on the floor under her bed until we pulled out a big mattress for her. Sarah LOVED her big girl bed. I was surprised that  it fit okay.

Leah found some hair extensions at the dollar store, and she come home to design an outfit to go with them. 

She took one of her skirts and flipped the shorts that were sewn into the skirt inside out and pulled them over her head. She has an eye for this stuff. 

The Lake House

Thanksgiving at the lake is always relaxing and memorable. Aunt Linda joined us for the third year in a row, and it was really nice to see her. The first time she joined us Sarah wasn't much bigger than Anna.

Impromptu Photo Shoot

I decided last minute to get some new pictures taken of the girls for our Christmas card. 

Luckily, one of the Laurels is a great photographer and was available with two days notice. 

It was so cold and windy that day, and I wasn't sure if they would turn out. 

They turned out great. 

Thanksgiving Preschool Program

It was pretty much the most adorable thing ever. 

Leah was so sweet. It was easy to know that the music teacher had instructed them to keep their eyes on her by looking at Leah. She looked at the teacher the entire time. 

The costumes were so cute and the songs were fun too.

 Her class dressed up as pilgrims. 

Sarah is looking forward to preschool next year and was so excited to support her sister. 

The three amigos. I love how Sarah in most pictures is looking up at the older kids. 

After Emily saw this picture she said to me, "Leah is so stylish!" I said, "She's wearing a pilgrim costume." We laughed. It's true Leah manages to make a pilgrim costume look good. 

Family pic. Oh hey, Anna! She was as happy the entire time. She has such a good temperament.
