Fall at the Zoo - November 2017

November was a very warm month and we had one Saturday that was absolutely perfect so we went to the zoo to see all the animals and enjoy the weather.

This is Daira, our foster daughter.  We were excited she could come with us!

All the girls posing!

Halloween 2017

Yes, I realize I'm about 6 weeks late, but nevertheless, here are the Halloween photos.  My girls dressed up as a rabbit, a dancer, and an Egyptian princess.  I don't know why Addison was so grumpy about pictures? 

My beautiful Princess.

Aliah was so excited!  she LOVED the candy! 

Here are the girls with some of their cousins!  Aliah cracked me up - she looks so ornery.
