November was a fun and busy month for us. Just check it out...
- We tried to keep up with a Thankful Tree, filling our mantel with leaves which had things we were thankful for written on them. We did this (almost) every night that we were home, and here are a few of my favorites:
Jack - Thomas (the train), Daddy, Dumbo, Thomas (the train, again),
applesauce, Dumbo (again), train, Percy (the train)
- It got cold enough to build a fire in mid-November. A nice fire is pretty much the best reason for winter, in my mind. Hot chocolate is a close #2.
- A good friend watched Jack for me so that Eliza and I could enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving feast with Catherine and the rest of her kindergarten class. Well, I enjoyed it a little more than Eliza did, evidently.
We spent Thanksgiving weekend with Ben's family in Tallahassee and loved it. Cat had a wonderful time playing with all of her cousins, and even got to make a special fishing trip with Papa, Uncle John, Daddy, and Cassy. Jack's favorite thing was digging in the "dirt pit" in the backyard, and pretty much anything else he go to do outside. We got rained out the night we wanted to have our campfire and hayride, so we ended up doing it on Saturday afternoon. It was just as fun during the day!

Your family get-togethers always sound so fun! Nobody goes fishing here, and it takes a lot of work just to get everyone camping once a year. What a great experience for your kids to grow up with! It sounds like Cat has lots of cousins to play with, too, what great memories!
ReplyDeleteAudra, they are fun! Brett, I have tons of hysterical pix from EdVenture, but I had to get them off Ben's phone and forgot to send them! But I will.
