November...Birthdays, Snow and Thanksgiving

We celebrated Isabel's 13th birthday, played in the first snowfall and ate ourselves silly for Thanksgiving.  Here are a few pictures of the events.  And, we gave Mazie her first ever sled ride.  What a month it's been!

What a Difference Six Days Makes!

Well, well, well doesn't the weather change in Michigan?  On the November 15 weekend we had bright sunshine and 64deg so we took a walk on the Brighton boardwalk and played with the Houghtens and a few of the Denjas in the park.  What a gorgeous day.  Then, the following weekend we had 10 inches of snow.  We had not seen a single snowflake in Brighton until the afternoon of November 21.  

We had a nice birthday walk on Mazie's birthday

Mateo loves to climb

"Watch me!"

Mazie had a great time

It's fun to be on the swing

"Watch me go across Grandpa!"

"How about a high five Paulina?"

In mid afternoon we had nearly 7 inches of snow but by the morning....

we had over 10 inches of snow.

The next day was our coldest morning of the year at 26deg but wonderful blue skies.
