November=Friends, Family, and Fun

Turkey time!

Thanksgiving in Oregon

We headed to Oregon for Thanksgiving this year. 

Dogs and all. :)

Played with some old friends

and spent time with family.

November--Turkey Day and Snow

Finally getting caught up...again. So let's recap November shall we?

Starting with the first "real" snow of the season.

Even Miles was enjoying it.

4th lost tooth!

Ice skating lessons.

 Both girls enjoy it and are really getting good--much better than Mom. :)

Turkey Day and Grandparents' Day celebration at school for Teah.

Lucky that we were able to have Grandma and Grandpa come visit and see it!

Games, games, and more games.

The girls (Tess especially) enjoy helping in the kitchen. Thanksgiving is the perfect time for that!

All snuggled with our buddy Miles. 

November Randomness

So November hit and we went from 60s and sunshine

to 30s and snow.

 ....With lots of static.

Still manages to have some fun though.

We ate with the Pilgrims and Indians. :)

The kids got creative with some boxes.

And Daddy practiced his fort making skills.

Thanksgiving

It was just us for Thanksgiving this year. But that didn't stop us from cooking a turkey (or "chicken" as the girls kept calling it.)

Patiently waiting for some "chicken". 

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are thankful for each other. :)

Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa

 Last week Grandma and Grandpa came to visit for Thanksgiving.

 I got help out in the kitchen.

 "Can I paint the turkey Mama?"

 I also helped Grandma peel the eggs

 and make them into deviled eggs.

 Poor Teah got sick with Croup. (Worst sickness yet.)

 Luckily I was there to help. 

 Oh, and Grandma. She ended up doing most of the cooking cuz Mama was tending to Teah. (Don't worry, whoever was taking the picture was also watching Charlie or we may have had Thanksgiving dinner without a turkey!)

 Grandpa, there's no time for sleeping!

 Check out the bird.

 Poor little punky.

 Grandpa fed us well every morning.

 And Grandma played lots of puzzles and games.

 Here we all are playing my favorite: Candy Land!

 Ta da!

 Teah did manage to get out and go to the park one day.

 Who can ever resist the swings?

 Not us.

 To wrap up the week, we built our very own Gingerbread houses.

 I helped Grandma decorate our own house.

Bet you can't guess which one was mine?
