Looking back to NOVEMBER

We had a busy, busy November--these are the memories that stand out in my mind at the moment:

(and some of these pics are from my phone so they aren't so great)

Saylor had a Thanksgiving Feast at preschool. The kids dressed up as Indians and Pigrims and came out and sang a few songs, and then we all got to eat a Thanksgiving dinner together.
My sweet little Pilgrim! :)
Then we went to Amarillo for a few days for Thanksgiving.
Here, Saylor is teaching Paul how to use an iPhone :)
Reading with GG

The day after Thanksgiving we made a fast trip to Lubbock to see Mas' family. This is the first time we had met Paisley, who was born in September.
Saylor and Cousin Zach
To say Saylor LOVED Paisley would be quite the understatement!!
Saylor and MeMe
We also stopped to see our dear friends, Ross and Missy

Missy and I
Saylor and her buddy Reid

They love each other so much, and we love that they love each other. But, I am kinda disturbed that she's closing her eyes to kiss him. In a few years, he'll have some explaining to do to her daddy if we catch them doing this :)
Saylor and Yonna
At some point in November, we decorated for Christmas. It's one of my favorite days this holiday season. Saylor and I decorated the tree together and it was just one of those moments that I want to remember forever. We both had such a great time and at one point she said "Mommy, I'm having so much fun"! It also brought back memories of when we used to hang ornaments all together when I was little and my mom would always get sentimental about certain ornaments that we made, and now I completely get it. Saylor made a few this year in preschool and I know in just a few short years she'll be driving and I will get all sentimental over her little handpainted ornaments that she made when she was TWO. I also love how lots of the ornaments are concentrated at the bottom of the tree. She enjoyed the tree so much this year (and told me to "put that back, Mommy" when I started taking the tree down after Christmas).
