Behind the Scenes: November, 2012

It took me a week longer than I would have hoped to get into the holiday spirit.  But after a weekend filled with Christmas!  Christmas!  Christmas! it seems like November was a looonnnnng time ago already.

Here's a look back at our life in November:

We visited Nana, Pop, Auntie Carol, and Uncle Kevin in Connecticut...

We ate ice cream sundaes...

 We saw fish that could have swallowed Madeline up at the Mystic Aquarium...

 We lounged in giant beds...

The doctor fished a googly eye out of Madeline's ear...

 We went trick or treating for the first time with the world's cutest lawn gnome...

 I got majorly stressed over the election...

 Eric introduced Maddie Bear to the world of video games...

 We enjoyed the last beautiful fall days...

 We started potty training....it's going well for Olaf at least...

 We saw a rainbow...

 And beautiful sunsets...

 We practiced our ABC's...

 Wrestled with Dada...

 Rode in an apple...

 And practiced ballet...

 I bid farewell to Twilight...

 Madeline took the first of many Tuba lessons...

We watched parades...

 And celebrated Thanksgiving with Mimi and Bob...

 We bundled up at the beach...

 Traveled to Boston for Tuba Christmas...

 Braved the cold at the Festival of Lights Parade...for about fifteen minutes...

 We took lots of self-portraits...

 Met Curious George...

And rediscovered last year's Halloween costume...

 Goodbye November, 2012.  You'll be missed.  Bring on the Christmas magic, December.
