November started off with a trip, with our homeschool group, to the Texas Renaissance Festival. These sort of festivals are always interesting (IMHO). But, the kids love it, so that's what matters. ;-) Fortunately we went on "kids day," so things were, ah, tamed down a notch, shall we say...?
I will say that the bird show was fantastic! Cute Dwarf Owl.
Dissecting a crayfish. This brave boy didn't even use rubber gloves. {{Shiver}}
Around the second week of November we flew up to Seattle to visit Grandpa and Grandma for a few days. Grandma baked this yummy (giant) cookie, which was ready and waiting for us. Yuuumm!!
We were itching for some fall color.
We loved seeing some old friends during our visit. These four were babies together. We begged and pleaded for them to reenact a photo we have of them all gathered around this toy, when they were toddlers. They weren't having it. Boo. We even offered them money! Ha!
How special to soak up an evening with these two hilarious kids. I love you guys. Thanks for always making me laugh until I cry!
Sweet little Simon was so good to let us invade his space for a few days.
Christmas shopping and lunching at the mall with Grandma. So much fun!
Making a wish!
Those babies came home with me :D
The way to my heart ;)
Come to Houston already, Glassy Baby!!
A view from above. How pretty is this? No filter!
And finally, a peek at our Thanksgiving table. We loved hosting Grandma and Grandpa (and Simon)!

How fun that you got to travel to some of your very favorite spots with your family. Your candle collection is so pretty. I love how your Thanksgiving table came together, too. November was a good one :)
