Perhaps, one of these days I'll get caught up. For now I'll continue with recaps. This one goes way back to before the snow started flying. Let's take a look back at November 2013, which was full of leaves, birthdays, friends, a Thanksgiving feast (which I can't find any pictures of), and some big news!
We had another bumper crop of leaves this year. Emma was a great helper when it came to bagging them up, but not before doing a little frolicking.
Emma and I developed a pretty good system where she would fill up a small bucket, I'd dump it in the big bag and when the big bag was full, Emma would climb into the bag and help me tamp the leaves down.
That worked for a while until she figured out it was a lot more fun to sit in the pile and throw the leaves around.
If I had to pick a profession for adult Emma it would probably be professional sprinkle applicator. The girl would put sprinkles on everything if you let her. Here she is helping me put the finishing touches on Melissa's birthday cake.

We had a great play date with John Karlgaard and his parents. After the kids made breakfast in Emma's kitchen they were off to fight fire and crime. If you ask me they are two of the cutest public servants I've ever seen!
We also had some big changes and big news in November. Yes Emma started potty training...

Baby boy is due to arrive April 13th! We couldn't be more excited.
