November didn't have as many weekend activities as October and December, but it still had plenty of stories and plenty of fun. Thanksgiving memories will be saved for the next post so I'll keep this one to the rest of the month.
Lilee had lots of sweet play with her little friends and Maelee had some special, individual time with mommy, with daddy, and with Nana & Pop-Pop! With both Steve and my mom out of town the first weekend of the month, my dad and us girls had some fun memories between a crazy Alexandria City Public Schools event (that was shoulder to shoulder packed and ran out of the promised free pizza resulting in a late run to McD's) and Lilee deciding not to nap for Pop-Pop while Maelee and I had an afternoon together, insisting on sitting in the bathtub to play...The 2nd weekend of the month, we all enjoyed an awesome visit from my cousin, Sam, and his family- Kim and boys, Mason & Lane.
Onto the pics!
Enjoying a Halloween candy treat :)
With pals Alden & Logan on the trampoline,
as part of a "babysitting share" we do with a couple ladies from church!
Best pal, Chloe, on our Friday playdates!
Yay for fall foliage!
One morning Lilee presented me with "cups" and "spoons" of veggie pairs that she found. So cute!!!
Maelee's and my afternoon out to a little festival (while Lilee refused to nap for Pop-Pop...)
which included a petting zoo,
face paint- where she insisted on being a black cat-,
(I think she has the cutest little nose but man, with this face paint, all I see is NOSE! Ha)
and a pony ride!
It was a fun little afternoon.
Oh, how this girl loves this cat, and how much more tolerant he has become!
More trampoline fun at a Kindergarten friend's bday party!
Sam & Kim and their boys made a sweet visit to Alexandria in the middle of the month and came over on a Sat evening, with Sam's other cousin, Mandy and her precious Holland. The kids were hilarious and had a blast together, and we loved hanging out!
So grateful to be close by- these girls adore their little "cousin!"
And Maelee sure loves Mason & Lane, too.
The whole crew
The little-ests :)
Enjoying night night stories during one of our Sunday night dinners at Nana & Pop-Pop's:)
Steve & Maelee had a super sweet daddy/daughter date night in the middle of the month to watch our alma mater's swim meet!
Go Retrievers!
Maelee loved meeting the amazing gal who won her events by a long shot- bonus!
We discovered a cool park recently that's going to be great for teaching the girls to ride bikes!
It's a start!
Showing off her lollipop-blue tongue during intermission of Rogers & Hamerstein's Cinderella!!!
So grateful for her special date with Nana & Pop-Pop to an amazing production in DC!
We are blessed!
Trying out bowling for the first time at a Kindergarten friend's bday party!

And that just about sums up last month! Let's see if I can get the Thanksgiving post up before Christmas!
