It has been an exciting couple of weeks in November for the family. We celebrated last week when Evie won the Belle View Elementary Respectful Bobcat Citizenship Award for the first quarter - this is the second year in the row that she's been nominated for the award! Evie sported her medal and certificate and got to use the family's new "You Are Special" plate!
We also celebrated with ice cream cake, which Ellie seemed to enjoy the most!
Mom, Ba and Ellie also got to attend the annual Thanksgiving luncheon at Belle View. Evie and Ellie enjoyed the pumpkin ice cream the most - what a treat!
Ellie and Mommy also checked out the pilgrim Evie had created...
... and Ellie was delighted to see that her sister had said that she was thankful for her little sister (Mom swore an earlier draft said "when she is nice" instead of "because she is nice.").
On Saturday we were so lucky to have a visit with Auntie Mel, Uncle Brian, Amelia and new baby Wesley! The girls had a great time playing and were hamming it up for their pictures.
Oy. The three musketeers and mommies who are just along for the ride.
Later that night we had a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at Ba's house with Co Ba and Uncle Minh, where she had prepared a ham dinner feast!
Then that night we watched a full production of the Nutcracker. The costumes and dancing were great and the girls were very, very excited - only falling asleep at the very last bit of Act II. Ellie got really involved in the story, talking a little bit despite Mom's shushing: "Why did the man take her present? She's so beautiful! What is going to happen?"
As you can see, she was very, very excited!
