More November

So...the Edwina performance was how we began November, and the month went racing along right after that.  There was a Nursing Home performance with one of our home school groups.

This was Elisabeth's first performance on the guitar.  She played and sang Silent night.

Elisabeth sang Oh Holy Night.

We managed to fit in some hair cuts.  Adam looks so handsome.

 Elisabeth had been growing her hair out extra long so she could donate to locks 'Locks of Love'.  You have to cut at least 10 inches to donate.

Then it was time for some R & R.  Our annual trip to Marco Island for Jon's work conference was a much needed break from school, rehearsals, performances and all the other activities that keep us running.

Adam Loves having his friends there with him.  How great that his best friend's dad works with Jon.

The kids found all sorts of great new creatures at the beach.  There was an amazing sand bar and tide pool just full of life.  We saw things we've never seen before....even a baby puffer fish!  I have no idea what Nick is holding in this pic.

All of those buckets are full of crazy little living things.

Finally, for Thanksgiving we went out to West Palm to be with Jon's Brother Ryan and his family.   We were there for 4 days I think.  And we had a great time just hanging out...mostly in pj's...playing games and watching movies and visiting.  Somehow we never did manage to take any pictures.  Crazy I know!   We also did some black Friday shopping.  Because of that shopping Emily and Elisabeth ended up with identical cell phones for Christmas. =)   Little did we know this would be one of our last times to see them before they moved to the opposite corner of the country.
