Celebrations

If October is about fall fun, then November definitely begins celebration season!  There's the end of soccer season to celebrate, birthdays of great friends, and to top it off?  A trip to Nebraska to kick off holiday season and see some of our favorite people!

Birthdays galore!  Two of Will's favorite little ladies both have birthdays in November, so we always get to participate in some great parties.  This was really the first time that Bellamy could really participate in the festivities and she enjoyed every minute!  Our friend Kate always has her party at her gymnastics gym and it was a HUGE hit with Bellamy.  I think we've found the first activity she'll be signed for (as soon as her parents come to grips with the idea that she's old enough to do stuff like that!)


Here's Will, just hanging around. :)


At school this year before Thanksgiving Will's class had a big celebration and everyone was given an Indian name by the teacher and their classmates for the party.  Here is "Wise Owl" showing off his costume that he made.  


On to Nebraska!  Yet again, I did not take nearly enough pictures, even though I say that each and every time...you would think I would learn, right?  

It was cold!  Ok, it wasn't THAT cold, but it was cold enough for this crew to use it as an excuse to spend a lot of time just snuggled up in AJ's house.


And thanks to a little babysitting help from Grandma, Jess took Todd and I on a little field trip around Omaha to check out some new places.  Lucky Bucket was definitely a fan favorite, even if we did have to wear our coats inside. :)



A November in Nebraska wouldn't be complete (at least to Will) without a trip down the zip line!  Thank goodness when Jack and Marlys moved they made sure to find a spot for it at the new house. :)  


Had a great time and can't wait til next time. :)
