Month End

November is over and there is so much I haven't blogged about. Goings on this month.....

• I voted.
• Celebrated Nathan's 7th birthday and still can't believe that's possible.
• Celebrated Kathryn's 8th birthday just a week later. Shopped like crazy with her and Hanna. I loved her happy face the whole day.
• Had a quick, last minute visit from Grandma DeeAnn. She had a long 4 day weekend and found a super cheap ticket. We didn't tell the kids and when she showed up at bedtime, they were really surprised. Kathryn showed much more surprise than the boys but all the kids were excited.
• We made two (YES TWO!) trips to Seattle in one month with the whole crew. One with my mom to see Kyle and Heidi and the second for Micheal's farewell. Really that's unheard of for me. I'm not one to drag the kids all over the place so it was wild for our family and Kyle made sure to tease me about it. It
• Saw Twilight on opening night with family and a few million other people. I'm no crazed fan (unlike some other friends and family. though I will admit to reading all 4 books) but I enjoyed the movie. I decided I'm not a crazed fan because I'm not a romantic at heart and Edward lovers are romantics. That could be a post all of it's own.
• Spent Thanksgiving at a full table of good food and even better family. A meal put together by so many hands always produces too much food. Leftovers from Turkey Day are my favorite!
• Went Black Friday shopping with Brianne. She was a super trooper and got up at 3:45 am and went to a couple stores. I didn't get into town until 9:30 am so the crowds really weren't that bad. We had fun and I got a few more things crossed off my list.
• Kept putting off taking a Christmas card photo and we just might be out of luck with the gloomy, foggy weather we have been having. I'm crossing my fingers for sometime this week.
• Hauled out the decorations (thanks Milo!) and plan on putting them up for FHE on Mon. I love getting ready for Christmas!
