What We've Been Up To

We've had a fun couple of weeks. Through the winter, Hogle Zoo offers free admission on the last Wednesday of the month. Dave and I took advantage of this the day before Thanksgiving and took the girls to see the 'amels'. We met up with Dave's sister and her 2 kids. It was so much fun to watch Maggie. She LOVED it. She recognized most things and was signing the entire time. It was a wonderful day to be at the zoo. All the animals were out and most of them had babies, they were so cute. I took lots of pictures, here are a few.... or more than a few.



She's doing the sign for Cat.





We spent a few days up at Dave's parents over the Thanksgiving break. We were the only ones there for most of the time, and we had a wonderful time with them. Maggie has mastered their stairs and it was so amazing see how independent she has become. She would go to the basement to play with the toys all by herself, I was so proud. We played some Rook, and ate a lot of good food. I really enjoyed the time there.

Since we will be in Canada for Christmas, Maggie got her presents early from Grandma and Grandpa Betts. She is wearing her new 'boops' (which she loves and wants to wear all day) and holding her new dolly.

Gotta love Grandma time.

We've had some pretty good snow fall this past week. Maggie likes to walk around in the snow while Dave shovels the sidewalk. She seems to love the snow, I think Dave is hoping to have a couple of Snowboarding buddies in a few years.


We've also just enjoyed hanging out at home. Chloe is getting so fun, she has quite the cute little personality. She is really starting to respond to the world around her. She thinks Maggie is great and will laugh and smile at her, it's so cute. I love watching them together, I hope that they will be good friends.

Popcorn with Daddy, what could be better?


And last, but not least...Coco has a new tooth. I know it's hard to see, but it's there. Tooth #2 is just about to break through. She is growing up so fast.

So there you go, that's what's been going on in the Betts' Family.
