Mr. Max

So for weeks before Max's birthday, he informs us that he is getting a "Cookie Monster cake!"
A) He barely knows who cookie monster is, so where did this come from? and B) There is no way in heck I can make one! I can BARELY make a regular cake! But lo and behold, the day before when I was getting supplies at the store to attempt the dreaded cake, here was this beauty sitting there, just begging to be taken to Max. How perfect is that!
This boy had been watching his friends and relatives blow out candles for the past month for their birthdays and he had been practicing. He was so ready for this big moment!

One happy boy!
Look at that grin! He doesn't even care what's inside!


Another big event that happened in November was Ella's first swim meet! She started on the Silver team in September and has
been doing amazingly well. She is the youngest on the team (ages 9 and up and she is only 8). To have a meet was pretty scary and she was so nervous, but she did amazing. Grammy came up to watch her and her family was there! We're so proud of all the hard work she puts into it!


Trying to figure out what a "relay" is. Her dad was one of the time keepers so he got this awesome shot of the fear in her eyes!
