Busy November

Do you ever have months that you feel everything seems to happen at once? November is that month for our family. We just get done with Halloween and not a week later it is Trevor's birthday. This year we are having a small family birthday and he is going to have his best bud spend the night. That was fine by me. His only request was that I make his cake. I am excited about that since I havent made a cake in 4 years. And this one will be different for me.

The following week is my Scrappy Chicks weekend scrapbook retreat which is always a lot of fun and this year I wont be pregnant or not have a sitter. This is the third annual get together and my friend April hosts it at her house. We have secret santas and have a big Christmas dinner together. I look forward to this every year.

Then on the 18th my mom arrives for her 2 week vacation with us. Her and my Dad decided to come for Eme's first birthday. My Dad will be here on the 20th and can only stay the weekend, but we are just happy he is able to come at all.

On the 21st Emelyn will celebrate her first birthday which I cant believe is already here and it makes me really sad. Where does time go? It seems like I just had her. Her party will also be small with family and close friends that have been around for her first year. I will also be making her cake. It will be a 3d stand up bear cake. She is going to LOVE it!

We then end the month with Thanksgiving. By the time the month is over I have only blinked, but feel completely wipped out and am pretty much broke. Christmas is right around the corner and I have to find a money tree to get stuff for the kids. Why couldnt everything be more spread out? I guess I should be thankful my life is busy. :)
