Here are a few shots of our November. We took Isabel to the park one day and had a picture extravaganza. Too bad it was muddy and she wanted to jump off rocks to catch ducks. So very hard to reason with a 20-month-old.
We also spent time with Isabel's best friend Catherine - or Cate as she calls her. The guys attempted to up an "easy" tent for them to play in, and all the girls wanted to do was watch Mr. John's fish tank.

Charlie-wad's Wedding in Edisto
This November we celebrated my God-brother's wedding weekend at Edisto Beach. Gigi and Pop Pop got us a house and we took all the kids - along with a babysitter to the stars (of course her name is Emily!).
Isabel had an amazing time at this house. It was the set-up for real, with its own playroom, crib, high chair, you name it. The boys were only upset by one thing - that the trampoline in the back was broken.
As for the wedding - it was amazing! Charlie and his bride Jane were gorgeous. Cheryl, Trent and everyone else were so much fun.
We used to go to the beach with Cheryl and her family every summer, and we decided that we'll now get the grandkids together every summer at Edisto. Can't wait to have Isabel play with Trent's kids. (Isabel would live on the beach if she could, so the only problem would be getting her to leave the sand.)

November Moments
Sometimes we catch Izzy doing some crazy stuff. Sometimes we prod her to do crazy stuff. Here are some samples of each...
Elizabeth Scott's 3rd Birthday
November 28 is a bitter/sweet day for us. It is Isabel's older sister's birthday. Since she is in heaven, we have a tradition of sending up pink balloons with notes to her. Here are some shots of us during Elizabeth's party. (Thanks to Gigi, Pop pop, Angie, Clayton, John Gray and Reading for sending up pink balloons in Belmont!)
Happy Turkey Day - Gobbie, Gobbie
We had a great Thanksgiving. Isabel had a "feast" at her school and reluctantly wore her Turkey hat. She was so good when I walked in. Well, at least until she saw me! It is something about a mom that makes a sweet girl whine and cling. We had a good time anyway. It was so fun to see her interact with her school friends.
We traveled to Meme and Grandpa's house for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Isabel still does really well in a car - thank goodness for mobile DVD players. Once there, we had a ball! Isabel and her cousin Josh fought over riding horses but managed to play really well together. She learned that a turkey says "Gobbie, Gobbie" and she got to see her baby cousin Banks. To top it all off - we had wonderful food the entire weekend. (We won't discuss her lack of sleep and EARLY morning.)
Per Allen family tradition, we got the Allen Christmas tree and Isabel had a great time decorating it. She kept pointing and saying "Ah!" She even managed to put some decorations on it.
We also went to the Raleigh Marbles Museum. I think Isabel's favorite part was having her cousin Riley ride with her in the car. They wore matching scarves and entertained each other to no end.
