The Weismann Family: Rounding Out November

I took a small "blog hiatus" during the latter half of my maternity leave. I soaked up all of the extra quality time with the kiddos, and not to mention I no longer had access to my work computer... regardless, I am now back at work and back at it!
The end of November was a busy time for the Weismann family with lots of parties, showers, birthdays, and visitors.

The first event was Katie McDonnell's bridal shower. It was fun spending some girl time with my daughter, mom, and sis. The fact that it was at a wine room was the icing on the cake! Katie is going to make a beautiful bride in 2014.

We spent the following day at Riley's friend Emery's 3rd birthday party, and then went directly to Uncle Johnny's birthday celebration. Riley likes getting right in on the present and cake action!

I've really enjoyed my weekdays with Riley and Sami, especially when we scheduled playdates with my girlfriends! We spent the following day at the Rachavong's house. Hayley planned activities, crafts, and let the kids decorate cupcakes after lunch.

Uncle Johnny took the day off that Thursday, and took Riley on a special trip to the Frisco Fire Station. It's an outing that he will never forget!

Nana and Pop Pop paid us a visit that weekend to meet their new granddaughter and spend time with the rest of us. As usual, the boys stayed busy doing "projects" around the house and running back and forth from Home Depot. Riley got to tag along... he never misses a trip to see the equipment at Home Depot! We had a nice time visiting with Nana and Pop Pop!

We also celebrated the upcoming birth of baby Cameron Hays, and I helped throw Crystal a shower with a few other girls. I must say, my mom did an amazing job with the flowers! We can't wait for Cameron's arrival in a few short weeks!

THEN... it was time for Thanksgiving at Gigi and Grandpa's house!! We had a wonderful day filled with yummy food and family time!

We closed out the month of November, and were thankful for all of the time we got to spend with family and friends. Now it's time to gear up for Christmas! Here are a few more random November pics to close out the longest post in history :)
