The month of November flew by so quickly that I just realized it is December 6th and I haven’t done the November post yet.\u00a0 Lots of awesome memories with our sweet girl!\u00a0 Every weekend had something and we really enjoyed celebrating Emma’s birthday and then we all took off for a cruise for Thanksgiving week.\u00a0 The month started out fun with Emma’s sweet friend Dana spending the night one night..on a school night!\u00a0 Emma and Dana were too funny\u2026they are like two little old ladies!\u00a0 The first weekend of November was the Fall Festival at NCCS and we had a great time hanging out with friends enjoying all the fun.\u00a0 Emma is a daredevil and she was particularly drawn to the bungee trampoline thing.\u00a0 The day after Fall Festival, we had some family pictures taken by our awesomely talented neighbor Corrie.<\/p>\n

The second weekend in November was a blast as we celebrated Emma’s 4th birthday by having a ton of friends and family over to the house.\u00a0 Emma particularly enjoyed having Aunt Katie, Uncle Deedle, and Mimi over for the whole weekend.\u00a0 Uncle Deedle’s birthday is a few days after Emma’s and she enjoyed celebrating him too!\u00a0 The day of Emma’s actual birthday was also the Thanksgiving feast for her class at school.\u00a0 We had such a great time celebrating all day.\u00a0 Emma’s favorite thing was bringing cupcakes for her friends\u2026and she got to order hot lunch the next day.\u00a0 Definitely a thrill!<\/p>\n

We are so grateful that our school has a whole week off for Thanksgiving, so our family made the most of it.\u00a0 We spent Friday night and Saturday at the beginning of the week celebrating Clint’s cousin’s wedding.\u00a0 Bo and Lindsay’s wedding was awesome\u2026everything was amazing and we love this sweet couple.\u00a0 Emma thought that Lindsay was a princess and she can’t wait to wear a dress like Lindsay’s\u2026let’s slow things down a bit!\u00a0 We spent that Sunday afternoon in Summerville with Clint’s family catching up and celebrating Thanksgiving with them.\u00a0 We had a lot of fun and the weather was beautiful!<\/p>\n

We flew out early Monday morning for our cruise and enjoyed six days and five nights just the three of us on a cruise.\u00a0 We laughed hard, ate tons of great food, enjoyed each other’s company, rested a lot, and just had a blast.\u00a0 I’m so glad we chose to keep that time for ourselves!\u00a0 When we got home, we decorated our house for Christmas.\u00a0 It is so fun to see how much Emma is getting into Christmas this year.\u00a0 She loves all of the decorations and Christmas music!<\/p>\n

Emma loves being 4 years old and it really seems to agree with her.\u00a0 It is so fun to see how much Emma’s personality has developed in the past several weeks.\u00a0 She has the funniest sayings and really cracks herself up.\u00a0 We are so grateful that Emma is such a fun kid that genuinely desires to help others and has a great time wherever she is.\u00a0 Thank you Lord for our sweet girl!<\/p>\n
