Both Matt & Lilly celebrated their birthdays this month. Lilly turned 5 with a 'Ponyville Carnival'. Nine of her friends joined her in the backyard with games, trampoline jumping, and yummy birthday snacks. Matt turned 41 and we celebrated throughout the weekend with picnics and hikes.
Thanksgiving was a 15 hour drive to Denver, Colorado to spend a few days with Matt's parents (drove from Chicago) and Matt's brother, Andy, & his family. The weather was wonderful and we had some fun bike riding, going to the park, playing mini golf in the Christmas lights, and going to Valmont Bike Park and mountain biking in their designated levels of difficulty. Carrie had the house decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations (Matt & I got to sleep by the tree!) and Andy deep-fried a yummy turkey for our Thanksgiving meal.
