We made it through October and the beginning of November which was Jessie's first birthday. A completely crazy month, but we survived. Now this weekend, we have all come down with the dreaded gomboo... so we are resting and trying to recover. Halloween was fun. Olivia had a parade and party at her school and Jessie had a playgroup party. Olivia's playgroup had a party a couple of weeks before Halloween at our clubhouse. Then we had one day to regroup and Jessie's birthday party was on November 2. That was very casual, small crowd, but still a bit of work. Grandma Gay came out for the weekend, and Jessie really started having fun with her which was nice since she was a little scared of her before. All in all, we had a fun month and are now looking forward to gearing up for the holidays. We might go to Disneyland over Thanksgiving. I asked Olivia if she wanted turkey or a trip to Disneyland and she made the right choice.
