The rest of my November pictures...

The rest of my phone pictures are usually of Maya because she is the only kid home with me all day! 
Here she is eating and being messy. 

She loves to play with the door to Dixie's cage. 



These two are actually her chewing on the tub (yuck) in our hotel in Utah. 


Now that she can crawl she gets over to the things she shouldn't be touching very quickly.  So, of course, I had to take a picture to text Ari. 

Here she is covered with blankets because Isaac decided that she was cold. 

Maya had a big playdate with Eric, Guy, Harper, Rebecca, and Gabe! 

Eric and Guy's baby girl Harper is three months old.  She is so cute and chubby. 

Maya liked Harper, but what she really wanted was a bagel. 

Here is Maya playing with Eric. 

We tried to get a picture of all three babies together. 

Maya looks like a giant with her tall self.  She is also three and a half months older than Harper. 

Harper did not appreciate Maya pulling on her ear! 

Here we all are. Look at Maya's pose!  I know I am biased, but she is the cutest thing in the whole world. 


Late that week Maya got to have another baby play date.  Here I am snuggling with my friend's baby, Rocco. 

We had good time catching up, but Maya didn't pose for me this time.

Park City for Thanksgiving

We finally made it to Park City to continue our trip.  Here we are celebrating Harper and Liv's birthdays. 



The rest of the pictures are in no particular order.  Here are seven of the eleven grandkids posing for a picture. 

Here is Maya looking goofy in a snow hat. 

This is the kids eating dessert on Thanksgiving.  They had a lot of dessert with a side of whip cream. 

How cute are these four at temple for Maya's baby naming? 

Here are Ari, Maya, and I up front with the rabbi. 


The kids loved the snow, and it really came down on this trip. 

Here are Zev and Isaac outside playing in the snow. 

Gregg was using the snow blower, and he pointed it at the boys. 

To say that Isaac loved it would be an understatement. 





Here is the annual picture of Karen and Gregg with all of the grandkids. 

Dorothy and Oren... They are expecting grandchild number twelve in April! 


Maya and Gabriel

Here are the big kids at Carter's when Karen took them to buy pajamas for a mitzvah. 

How cute are these girls? 


We took all the big kids to the movies to see Wreck it Ralph 2. 


Here is a little more fun in the snow. 

We had such a great week in Utah. The boys said the best parts were national parks, cousins, and snow.  I think that about sums it up! 

Day 3: Dinosaur National Monument

On the third day of our adventure we were in Vernal, Utah, and we drove over to Dinosaur National Monument.  This is Zev touching an actual dinosaur bone. 

Tahl reading something cool. 

The main center was amazing with hundreds of dinosaur bones all in one place where they were swept together by a river and deposited all mixed up.


Isaac was interested, but it was a little too much reading and downtime for him. 

Here are Isaac and Tahl touching the big bone. 



The boys got sworn in again at this park.  They even got junior paleontologist badges. 

Here is Isaac with his badge.

May got lots more quality mommy snuggles and sleep. 

Then we went on a hike where you can see some bones still in the rock. 

Here the guys are finding bones. 




Tahl really wanted me to take a picture of all these clams. 



Another hand holding spot. 

It his hard to tell here, but there is an attached vertebrae in this picture. 

We saw some awesome ancient petroglyphs at this site. 





Then we went on a hike to a box canyon. 


It is hard to tell, but the canyon is on three sides of us.  This land was previously given to a homesteader who used the box canyon to hold in her livestock. 


The homesteader was named Josie, and on the map it says this is "Josie's cabin."  Isaac had to take a picture here since his best friend is named Josie. 


After we finished up here we started our drive to Park City to spend the rest of the week with Ari's family.
