Thanksgiving in Iowa

This year we went to my Grandma Marie's in Iowa for Thanksgiving. We hadn't been down there for 4 years so it was fun to get to see everyone again and introduce them to Ariana. My sister Holly drove from Kentucky with her 2 kids. Ari had a great time playing with her cousins! It was a quick trip - just 2 days - but we had fun!

November - Lunch with Lori

My cousins Lorraine, Michelle, and Ari and I went out to lunch with my Aunt Lori. We went to Bucca De Bepo in Maple Grove - the food was great! It was nice to get out and hang out with just the girls. Ariana was having issues getting her puffs in her mouth with her hand so she just resorted to licking them off the table...

November - Date night

Grandma and Grandpa James babysat while Jordan and I went out to dinner with friends. We met our friends Tim & Lindsay and Alex & Bonnie at Redstone American Grill in Minnetonka and had a great time. The food was very good. We decided to try to go out as a group either every month or every other month and try a new restaurant each time.

October - Halloween

Ari is our little "bug" so we dressed her up as a litte bee. She was so cute with the little stinger on her bottom! We took her out to a couple of the neighbor's houses, and then came home to pass out candy. Ari had the best time playing in the candy dish!
