Fun Festivities of November!

A couple of weeks ago Riley was over playing and the girls wanted to watch the Polar Express. So while we were watching it I realized that Jayda had never tried hot chocolate. I decided to make the girls each little tea cups with hot chocolate and they both loved it. They were both using their hands to pick out the marshmellows, so that was a fun mess to clean up! Jayda's new favorite drink is now hot chocolate!

Two weekends ago was Jayda's bestest buddy Riley's 2 year birthday party! Jayda had a blast making Abby and Elmo magnets, playing with Riley and eating Michelle's delicious homemade corn dogs! It was so fun to share Riley's special day with her!

Last week was Justin's birthday. We met Justin, Lourdes, Klint and Brandy and Jacob's parents at Vic and Anthony's downtown for a delicious birthday dinner! Everything was so good (if you ever go there you have to try the chicken paige, it is to die for!!) and Jayda loved seeing her family!

Then, last monday my high school girlfriends, Andrea, Jolene and Kristi all came down to our house for a visit. We had a great time catching up, chatting and playing with Jayda. We finished off our fun day with dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, yummo! It was so fun seeing all of y'all!

For Thanksgiving we headed up to Huntsville on wednesday morning to stay the night with my parents. Luckily Jacob got off early and got to enjoy a yummy Thanksgiving lunch with us and Oma and Oupa. The food was great and we had fun spending the day with Oma and Oupa!

On thursday morning we got up early and left for Mammaw and Papaw's house in Oklahoma. The drive wasn't too bad and Jayda did really well, so that helped a lot! We got there just in time to have lunch with everyone around 2 p.m. We enjoyed yet again another great Thanksgiving dinner and had fun seeing everyone. Jayda got to play with her cousins Wyatt, Morgan and Braden which she absolutely loved!

On friday all of us girls went shopping while the boys watched the little ones. We shopped all day and found lots of good deals. It was a lot of fun and great to get some of my shopping out of the way, kiddo free. On saturday Jayda and Brady played most of the day and that evening we went to ride the train at the park, get hot chocolate and ride the carousel. They both had a blast!
