November 2019

November includes Guy Fawkes Day and Bonfire Night, which is always a treat. Lizzy performed in The Drowsy Chaperone, which turned out to be really fun, even though we were completely unfamiliar with the musical. We had our usual Saturday nights out with Opa and Annie. Thanksgiving at Emily's new home was delightful: it was so nice not to be in charge! And we returned to a real, full-sized tree this year.
