November and Things

We had a very hearty November. We have so much to be thankful for, and I'm so glad we have a month to celebrate that. Now I know this post is a little late, but as you can see November was plum full, so loading pictures onto a blog was not my top priority. But with that being said, here is our November in retrospect. FYI: pictures are not in order at all!! Sorry.

Now the question is, Mom, do I get one too?

We went to visit my Dad the Saturday after Thanksgiving. (My sincerest
apologies to you Meghan, we had to cut days out of your trip, so
we were only there on Saturday morning-afternoon, so I didn't bother
to call, because we spent all day with my dad)

Playing with Grandpa is so much fun!




The day after Thanksgiving was spent at the zoo with my sister and her family. We had so much fun spending time with them. She has two adorable kids. And what a trooper her little boy was, on Thanksgiving day, he had a big spill that pushed is two front teeth all the way into his gums! He was so swollen, but he didn't even act like he was hurt!

So this Thanksgiving I also hosted the Tucker Thanksgiving,
the Saturday before the real big day. So even though I made
everything in disposable containers... I promise, it is all homemade
and my turkey was moist. Not bad for my first Turkey... okay,
it was only a breast, not a whole bird.
Lyla and I also thought, what is November without some pumpkin
chocolate chip cookies? Yum.
At the begining of November Tyler and AmiCheri had their Tucson reception. It was so beautiful! It made me wish I had done fancier things for my wedding! We were so happy to see them both, and we can't wait to spend Christmas with them too!

Silly kids!

Could I have a cuter family?! NOPE! Look at those blue eyes!
