November highlights

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and before we know it December will be here. With the excitement of turkey day and the looming "holiday" of black Friday, I though I'd better post more photos before the month ends. I have just finished baking a multitude of goodies for the "big meal" tomorrow and have a few minutes to spare.  

First- Lilly and Hannah once again find fun in everything they do. On this day oranges made the lunch menu. The girls had play time in mind instead. Say, "orange?"

The weather has been absolutely beautiful outside- 70's and sunny. This makes great play weather and a good opportunity for Claire to practice her swinging skills. In this photo, Claire tries to perfect Superman's flight, with the support of the swing, of course.

Lilly still loves to help in the kitchen. Every time I use the stove she climbs in the pantry and hauls out her little step-stool. She knows touching the stove could lead to burns which could lead to a trip to the hospital- or at least she is trying to learn these concepts. During this cooking session Lilly utilized her problem solving skills. Instead of worrying about touching a hot stove, she simply went to her room and put on her mittens. That way, she could stir the noodles. Smart girl. You can see her pink mitten behind her back if you look closely.

Lilly's preschool held a Thanksgiving feast this week. Here's pilgrim Lilly-

A local tradition is to visit Zoo Lights at the Phoenix Zoo each Christmas season. Since the lights officially "turn on" for the public Thanksgiving evening, those who have zoo memberships were able to take a sneak peek all this week. Of course we took advantage of fewer crowds and free carousel rides. Did someone say carousel?

And here's another one just because it's cute...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
