Cute Kid Pix November 2018

More pictures that didn't make their own post...

My birthday was in November. One celebration was going to The Ale House in Columbia for dinner, where we had to try out the soft pretzel because that's what we do at restaurants nowadays.

Someone can't wait!

To go with it, I ordered the Belgian wheat ale called Staring at the Sun from the Oliver Brewing Company. It was tasty and refreshing and went well with the meal. It was Taco Tuesday at the restaurant, so I ordered ala carte tacos. Yummy!

Staring at the Sun

We didn't get dessert at the restaurant since our children were inspired by The Great British Bake Off to make Baked Alaska. It came out very well.

They made cookies as the base for the Baked Alaskas. The leftover dough made a nice way to spell my name.

Doughfont has no capital letters

We visited cousins in Virginia for Thanksgiving and brought a pumpkin pie that we made at home. The pie was extra-special since we did a fancy top from the spare pie crust that came in the ready-made pack we bought at the store.

Made at home!

Our youngest has started a new sports class, Mighty Kickers, that teaches soccer skills in an indoor setting (since the weather is putting the Brrr in November). The teacher does a great job goofing off and being entertaining along with teaching skills. My son is enjoying it a lot.

He's a good listener, just look at those ears!

Carrying and kicking

We made it to one library storytime that had a craft. The theme was Peace (leading into Christmas season). We glued and colored a dove and some hand. I think the hands were supposed to be holding each other, but maybe not.
