Addison & Isla: Early November Highlights

We can hardly believe Thanksgiving is a few days away and that Christmas is quickly approaching! Right on cue, our first winter storm hit last night, leaving us with several inches of snow....and COLD weather! The girls had fun romping in it this morning, but I couldn't even bear to get out there to get photos. The camera and I only got as far as Isla throwing a tantrum in the kitchen because she hated being bound up in all the puffy pants, jacket, hat, boots and gloves. She laid herself down on the floor and screamed - it was hilarious.

Last weekend DJ and I had a great time on our getaway to San Francisco. We met up with friends, had leisurely days of exploring the city (I still knew all the bus lines and BART routes to take!) and nights of amazing dinners. We did miss the girls, but it was a much needed escape from reality for a few days.

This week will hopefully be nice and mellow, with many people taking vacation from work. I myself am working from home on Wednesday. Looking forward to some quality time with family, putting up some Christmas decorations and listening to holiday music galore! I really geek out at this time of year. Even Addison is excited - she can't wait to help decorate. She keeps asking if it's Thanksgiving yet - she knows something is going on when I get all the table linens out to start ironing. Miss Isla is ALL about the Christmas tunes. I'm not sure if she's heard Jingle Bells somewhere before, but she even knows when to say "HEY!" after "In a one horse open sleigh..." So funny! I think they're going to take after me in this area.

Isla and her snowsuit meltdown - the boots really put her over the edge

This is Addison and her new bed...on the floor of Isla's room. Hey, she's not scared anymore and generally stays in bed all night. Looks like these two might be sharing a room in the long run.
