November was a fun month filled with visitors.  Grandma & grandpa came to visit for Emma's birthday. We went to the firework show at Bridgestreet & looked at the lights Friday night.  They took her to 88 buffet for her birthday supper, one of Emma's favorite restaurants, she loved all the different types of food!  We also took her to the park to celebrate. The favorite parts of her birthday were blowing out the candles and eating  chocolate cake!  The week of Thanksgiving Meme, Papa, aunt Heather, uncle Dustin, Tessa & Daniel came to visit.  Emma loved having Tessa & Daniel to play with and Lila soaked up all the extra attention!  We went to the Tinsel Tree trail with them and picked out our trees at the tree farm.  Meme & Papa stayed a little longer and we went to Bridgestreet with them to look at the lights.

We spent a lot of time outdoors the month of October enjoying the beautiful weather.  Meme & Papa came to visit the first week in October.  We went to the pumpkin patch with them and enjoyed the day outside.  Emma loved the pig races, petting zoo, bounce house, and slide.  My birthday weekend we went to Green Mountain for a hike around the lake. The last weekend in October we traveled to Atlanta, GA for a mini vacation.  Emma's birthday present was a visit to the Georgia Aquarium.  She loved the dolphin show and clapped and hollered every time the dolphins jumped out of the water.  It was an awesome aquarium.  Our favorite part was the giant whale sharks.  The next day we went to Stone Mountain before heading home.  On Halloween Emma trick or treated at playgroup, then we went to the nursing home I work at to visit the residents.  They loved Emma in her cat costume and Lila in her shark costume.  That night we went to a fall festival where Emma had fun playing carnival games and getting candy.
