November in Review

Apparently I can only do months in review these days instead of keeping current.  Too much holiday stuff going on to really blog would be a good excuse.  But the truth lies in too much laying around on the couch.


November brought us the end of football season for Nate. He worked with a ninth grade team this year and they just kept winning, thus extending their season.  They made it all the way to the championship game and won!  The kids and I went to the game and it was so exciting to see all those boys celebrating and going crazy!

They had an end of year banquet catered by Texas Roadhouse, which was so yummy!  And we have a whole new set of t-shirts that say champion on them.  I never thought Nate's wardrobe would consist of white, black, and purple.

Jack went away on his very first overnight camp with a lot of the fifth grade boys in his school.  They went to Clear Creek and had a ball.  He came back very excited after having a fabulous time!  We missed him much and were very glad to have him back!

We got our family pictures from Sanae.  I love her style and they always turn out so good.  She has such a talent, it looks like us, but better-I love that.  We had all sorts of poses printed up, and I put this one on a deck of cards-

 We ended the month with Thanksgiving Dinner at our house. Everyone really came together this year to pull it off, all I really prepared was the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a dessert.  We didn't have as many this year, Alice, Terry and Family, Roger, Cassie, and her parents, and Tim and Vanella..  It was a fun day.  Sophie got to announce our news.

 

I never take any pictures at Thanksgiving it seems, and the ones I take are always very candid and clearly no one was really ready for them.  I think I am just too busy eating.
