November Update

 November has wrapped up and we had a fun and busy month.  Gwen turned 4 and we got a new addition to our family.

Cara is learning how to be a teacher at school...teaching Gwen and big stuffies.

 Gwen got to celebrate her birthday at school by handing out cupcakes to her friends!

 Gwen can't stay in bed long enough in the morning to have breakfast in bed but breakfast at the coffee table was just as good.

 Sister hugs during gift opening.

 She was so excited for new undies!  Thanks Nanny & Papa!

 Proud owner of her own Elsa doll :)

 4 year old with a Frozen cake.

 Big sister loves cake.

 Daddy too!

 Before cake time there was icing time.

 A top 10 moment of childhood.

 Our 4 year old girl :)

 Showing off her new Rapunzel nightgown.

Another day Cara painted all the planets in a solar system kit she got for her birthday.  Her mobile now hangs in her space room.

 Another weekend we went to a movie to celebrate Leah's birthday. Gwen and Sidney had a great time.

 After the movie that day we went to the Calgary Humane Society to look for a cat.  We met this cat Charlie and she was a nice 3 year old cat but she just wasn't "the one" so we decided to go back another day.

 Well, the next day was Gwen's birthday party!

She asked for a Frozen birthday and to watch the movie with her friends Sidney and Leah.

Uncle Jamie and Leah came too and it was so much fun.

 Gwen's dream cake.

A Frozen Elsa cake....Ice Cream Cake!!!

 She was so ready to have some cake.

The doll cake was a surprise for her.  She saw it on Pinterest and wanted it but it seemed daunting.
Not that hard actually!

Elsa and the party girls.

Yummy dress!

Cara's school had a parent teacher night and we got to go see some of her art work.

We've had snow and really cold and not so cold days.
The girls had fun on a melting day that made the snow sticky.

Cara reacts to snow like sand...."please bury me!"

Another Saturday morning skating lesson.

After skating we went back to the Humane Society and met with a tiny kitten who was so fun and cute and sweet that he was "the one"!
His shelter name was Gumbo and he was about 10 weeks old.

"Gumbo" day 1 at home.
He loves to play!

Finally a kitty to snuggle!

And squeeze.... Gwen loves him so so much!

And snuggle :)

His favourite guy is Adam and has regular evening cuddles.

He has a great purrr.

We had another snow storm to end November and it left a nice drift to our front door.

We started the December fun on November 30 with a fun kit from Nana.

The girls love crafts.

We liked "Gumbo" but wanted to name him ourselves.  After much discussion and brainstorming we chose....."COSMO"!
We love Cosmo!

Advent began and we are now well into our Christmas preparations.

We'll update again before Christmas with pics of the fun!
