When Aubrey tried on her new coat she kept saying, "Aubrey's a lion!"
Even though the weather wasn't that cold, we made our first fire in our fireplace

A Happy Birthday

Aubrey liked helping me blow out my birthday candles & practicing for her turn next month
We had a combined birthday party for me, Susan, Isaac & Aubrey the night before Thanksgiving.
Aubrey decorated the cake with sprinkles, strawberries and lots of candles.
 

As you can see, Aubrey is very entertained with turning her lamp off and on! As soon as I took the second picture, I had to run and catch the lamp before it fell on Aubrey and the fun was over. 

Tea Time

Aubrey and I thuroughly enjoyed her first tea party this evening! We were playing with a box of toys that were mine when I was little (My Little Ponies & Strawberry Shortcakes) and we came across this little tea set. We drank "tea" (water) out of these tiny cups and Aubrey had about 10 refills! We also had some yummy cookies on our little plates. It's so fun to interact with Aubrey in so many new ways now that she's a big girl! 

 

Pretty Ballerina

Aubrey enjoyed her first Trick or Treat outing last night as a ballerina. She wore her tiara around the house all afternoon and liked twirling around in her tutu. Robert had actually given me the tutu to ask me on one of our first dates in 2000. The tutu was around a vase of flowers with tickets to the Houston Nutcracker. Neither of us knew at the time that our future child would be wearing it on Halloween! Anyway, Aubrey rode around in the wagon with our neighbor, Ryan, and they both enjoyed running up to the doors, ringing the doorbells and saying, "trick-or-treat".
