ode to November

November came and went as fast as the winds blew...

Thank you for the sunny skies,

And delicious pies;

(hosted Thanksgiving this year for Grandma and Grandpa Johnson, Lon, Uncle Gary, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Dan, Aunt Bri, Caleb & Codi, and not one. single. picture.)

For the funny faces

And gingerbread places;

For good eats

And lit-up streets;

(in Seattle)

For reading books

 And new swimsuit looks! (for Hawaii)

 

Thank you for being good to us, November.

lost teeth

 Emmy lost her first two teeth yesterday and today!

 She was pretty excited about it.

 She was hoping the tooth fairy would bring her gifts like Santa Claus.

She did not, but Emmy was okay with the money left under her pillow.

And we were just glad that the tooth fairy came!
