NOVEMBER - Happy Birthday, Nana!

It is starting to get chilly here - just this week we've been dipping below freezing at night. Eben took both kids with him to gather wood - our community association puts all the wood from trees that go down in windstorms next to the pool. So he filled up the trailer with a cord of alder, now all he has to do is split it...
Charlotte's attentiveness has increased tremendously in the last two months.
Yesterday was Nana's birthday party. She wanted to get a few shots of herself with the "Baby Grands" beforehand.
Charlotte has been infatuated with the football lately - one of the few words she says. She brought it in the car and held onto it the whole way to the restaurant (20 minutes).
We went up to Anthony's in Everett. It was a beautiful day, especially for this time of year. Edison liked checking out the fishing boats and all their equipment on deck.
Looking south towards Mukilteo behind us.
We had a big group, but luckily the kids were on the end and could do a few laps during the meal to make them last.
On this side:Peter, Jason, Bestamor, Kirstie, Lee, and the birthday girl, Bonnie.
And on this side, a beautiful view of the marina, Charlotte, Edison, Eben, Kathie, Floyd, Jennie, and Pete.
Can you believe this is my mom's 70th birthday? I can't! She looks fabulous!
We also celebrated Bestamor's 97th birthday! The headphones are hooked up to a microphone that she uses to help hear better.
My kids know that a birthday party means birthday cake. In this case, Charlotte enjoyed the creme brulee.
It was warm in the sun in the afternoon and we played outside a little more.
With my cousin, Jason. As you can see, Charlotte and I coordinated outfits - very fun!
