November update

We've had a lot of fun and excitement in the past few weeks...

Elaina turned 3 years old on November 10. She celebrated with a "princess party" the weekend before her birthday with our friends from church.

On her actual birthday, she had a great time with Mommy, Daddy, Julia, and Grammy at the museum in Raleigh. She is really into dinosaurs right now, but she wasn't so sure about the giant dinosaurs at the museum. They were a lot more intimidating than the imaginary pink dinosaur that is often accused of hanging out in our entryway and playing with her shoes.

She received an easel as a birthday present, and she has enjoyed learning how to draw people. I think the arms and legs sticking straight out of the face are hilarious.

We've also enjoyed getting to see more of Miss Julia's personality in the past few weeks. She is a very smiley baby, and we can't get enough of her grins.

Last week, we celebrated Thanksgiving with Matt's parents. This was Grandpa Rust's first opportunity to meet Julia. Elaina did a good job sharing her grandparents with her little sister.

Julia didn't get to enjoy all of the delicious food on her first Thanksgiving, but we couldn't resist a picture with the turkey!

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
