November 2011

For most of November I was planning Mary Taylor's 3rd birthday, but we did make time for other things here and there. The kids did not get enough of dressing up after Halloween, that they dressed up with costumes that they use to wear as babies, which happened to be animals.

I think Tuck sports this monkey quite well. He looked pretty cute with this hat on!!

Mary Taylor squeezed into the goat costume Henry wore as a four month old!

Henry opted for the "little chicken" costume that Nana gave him when he was 18 months. Just a little snug.

Quite different from the last time I put Henry and Mary Taylor in these costumes...

About three years ago...

Sweet Charles Tucker at Andrew Riddle's party...

All dressed up for church one cool November morning....

Mary Taylor is probably hogging the mirror and Charles Tucker is pouting and about to start crying because he can't have a turn. Pretty typical of the twins.

Fairy princess Mary Tay Tay!!

Right before kaki and TJ left they watched the kids jump in leaves. I don't think I ever did this growing up, so fun to see them experience piles of leaves...

Happy Fall Ya'll!! Now on to December and Charles Tucker's first Christmas with our family!
