November Notes
This month was busy (do I say that every month? 🤔) - between two weekend trips (Baku and Tbilisi) plus camping, hosting Thanksgiving and celebrating my birthday we had a jam packed month!
We kicked off the month with a street water fight, which the girls loved!

4. 5. 6. 7. Fun play dates with friends!
8. Delicious taco salad with my homemade salsa.
9. Exploring the new Lusail marina near our house with friends.
Evidence our cats are still around and doing well. Sort of - CeCe has ear mites, which the vet found strange since Zoey doesn't have them and CeCe doesn't go outside. I'm happy to report that since treatment she's started going upstairs again and we've seen a definite personality change for the better.

3. A makeup birthday breakfast with this cutie.
4. 5. 6. The rains finally hit Doha and the girls couldn't have been happier to play and jump in puddles.

This month we also celebrated my birthday. My friends setup breakfast and surprised me with some sweet gifts while my family made cards for me and got me gorgeous flowers. We celebrated with a delicious dinner at our LifeGroup that evening.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving was our only chance to setup the Christmas tree so we spent the evening in last year's Christmas pajamas complete with The Polar Express and slowly decorated our tree to welcome December!
