the rest of November

Wrapping up the rest of the month...

Mary & Greg sent up a box of Ben's legos and it's pretty much Colter's favorite thing right now

The kids and I go on an "epic" walk (what I like to call it) almost every week. The usual destinations include the construction site, whole foods for free fruit & samples, babies r us to ride the car, and possibly petco to look at the animals, or barnes & noble to play trains. The kids and I love it. 

The last of the fall leaves. 

A trip downtown to visit Ben & see the decorated trees at the Fairmont hotel

A Christmas card photo shoot.. lets pretend like they're like this all the time. HA!

The Christmas lights are up! Every year we get more and more into decorating. This year Ben went ALL the way to the top of the house with the help of a self made harness wrapped around the bed and wrapped around my waist. Oh Grizwold

                                                 

                                                    

The Macy's parade.. never dissapoints!

A foggy Thanksgiving morning walk around Greenlake.

Thanksgiving dinner at Austin & Kelsey's house. They have done such a wonderful job decorating their new place. The decorated table was amazing!

 Every month our community group does a service project. November's project was putting together snack bags for homeless kids that are bussed from all over to attend Edmonds schools.

Tree cutting/decorating. We went to a new place this year and probably wont go back. Still a fun experience with cocoa, popcorn, santa, etc.... just a little slim pickings on decent trees.

We ventured downtown to the Macy's Thanksgiving parade for the first time. We will DEFINITELY be back. We had such a great time.. the bands were awesome and the Frango's were a bonus! yum!

As a birthday gift, my sister planned a road rally date night for Ben & I. We went all over Lynnwood finding clues (and finding out a bunch of random facts about Lynnwood!)

We ended up in an asian food court inside an asian shopping center at a place called Beard Papa's... apparently the world's best cream puff. I will say- they were AMAZING and we will totally be back!

Our first Christmas lights outing!

Such a good month!
