I blame Instagram for my lack of blogging lately. I am going to at least try to catch up from the month of November. Here it goes…
We started the month off driving up to Georgia to meet up with Uncle Joe and family while he was on his R&R. Nate wanted to get there as early as possible, so I agreed to leave at 5 a.m. Of course, things never go as planned and that morning I loaded up the car and buckled the kids in just to have it not start. Steve was TDY (as usual) so I had been driving his car around for the week because I cleaned my car and I didn't want it to get messy before we left for our trip. I hate starting out with a messy car. Luckily my friend lives down the street so the kids and I ran down to her house and drove her car back and I jumped it off. We ended up leaving an hour later than planned. (***I couldn't get to the battery in Steve's car because it's under the trunk space and Steve had the full size spare tire just sitting in the trunk.)
It was a quick trip, but if Nate ever found out Uncle Joe and family were in Georgia and I didn't take him during the year long deployment I would never hear the end of it.
During Jessica and Allison's naps the kids played outside with Paw-Paw and Lady.
All Nate could talk about was how cute Allison is. I think he was still expecting her to be a little baby. The last time we saw them was at Kathryn's birthday party last year.
He's right. She is just so cute.
Unbelievable cute!
We took a picture of Grandma with all six of her great grandchildren too.
We had dinner to celebrate Kate and Allison's birthdays.
It was quite the turnout for these little girls.
Turning four years old!
Making a wish.
Winding down for the night.
Kathryn dressed in her after Halloween discount costume putting lipstick on Lady.
Cousin huddle.

She crawled up on the dining room table and helped herself to some cheese puffs while dressed as a gorilla. Hilarious!
The Korey family came for a visit. Andrew amazed us with his super powers.
Paw-Paw and Allison had some serious coloring time.
It was a quick trip but lots of fun was packed into a very short amount of time. Jess and Alli were worn out after the Meissner kids left.

You did a great job of getting all the activities in the blog!
ReplyDeleteMy little girls are still talking about their cousins. We had a great time and made lots of lovely memories.
