November 2018, Alexis turns 4!

November was a great month.  I can't believe Alexis turned 4.  We celebrated early in the month with a My Little Pony birthday party.  She had about ten friends over. We decorated goody bags, unicorn cookies, had a dance party and played in the game room.

 Yummy pies

 Just looking too cute

 Alexis was not happy about something I did so she was letting me know on the baby monitor:)

 Spontaneous purchase by Daddy. Everyone needs a purple unicorn on their birthday

 Such a big help. This was her creative idea

 Alexis was having a hard time and didn't want to go to school.  The teacher, Ms Jane was holding her and all her friends came up to hug her

 Cole likes to take selfie's...this is one of 40 I found on my phone.

 Some neighbors took us out on their boat.  We floated in front of our house and had wine.  My mom took this picture of us from our house

 Eating a banana in an interesting way

 She looks like she is from the 80's. She did her hair herself.  She told me I am ruining her life.  To be fair I asked her to put on her jacket it is 48 degrees out.  I also told her that it is my job to ruin her life:)
