3 Years Old (November) :: Birthday and Thanksgiving

While it was still warm enough, we went bike-riding on the trail near our house. It was good exercise for the whole family. Ethan and Sophia are getting so fast that Steve and I have to run to keep up with them on their balance bikes!

We played pin-the-nose-on-the-clown. Oddly, all three kids got the nose in the exact right place on the clown...
