More November Snapshots

Husker Game Day

It's a Friday-after-Thanksgiving tradition to watch Nebraska play Iowa. It was a discouraging game, but at least Makin's feet looked cute?

Canton Trade Days/November Date 2

We headed to Canton for some thrift/craft shopping. The kids each got to go with a friend and loved the independence of walking around with their friend. Meanwhile, Brad and I enjoyed time shopping just the two of us! (We weren't sure if both friends could make it, so that is why we fit in a date earlier that week!)

Kicking Off Christmas at PGA

We drove right from Canton to the PGA in time to catch their tree lighting and drone show. In case you haven't realized...we love a drone show! :)

Birthday

After the busy fun Saturday, my actual birthday was mostly just relaxing. We went to church, grabbed Greek food for lunch, had some down time and then had an long movie night watching the second Anne of Green Gables. Dessert was Pumpkin Pie Concrete a friend bought for me that I saved for the occasion!

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was low-key as it was just the four of us hanging out for the day.

Lorelei is excited anytime she is offered coffee (with steamed milk) and she was thrilled to have some that morning while we watched the pre-parage coverage.

We enjoyed the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and had egg casseroles and cinnamon muffins for breakfast.

Watson thought it was blissful to have his people on the couch for hours in the morning.

We enjoyed our favorite Thanksgiving foods for a late lunch.

Played some games.

And had dessert in front of the firepit.

We were then influenced by a text from my sister and decided to watch the same movie she decided to watch that evening - While You Were Sleeping.

Thankful for a relaxing day with time together!

Happy Thanksgiving!

November Snapshots

Mr. Darcy's Dance

The library had a free event called Mr. Darcy's Dance, and we just couldn't pass up the opportunity for this type of experience when the girls are reading Pride and Prejudice! What fun timing!

Adventure Club

We enjoyed a beautiful hike on a new-to-us trail. So thankful for this group of friends.

Adventure Club (again!)

When weather is beautiful, we are going to enjoy it! Another Friday hike with friends!

Pumpkin Concrete

Yum!

Family Photo

It's been too many years since we sent a family photo out with our Christmas cards, so we made sure to take one this year. Thankful for a selfie stick and remote control to go with it!

Thought it would be amusing to show the "behind the scenes" shot. Remote, selfie stick, dog leash. :)

Popstroke

Still enjoying our Popstroke membership weekly. The boys also love playing ping pong. And snacky lunches.

One week Kody was sick, so we enjoyed a mother/son Popstroke date!

November Date Number One

Putting date at PGA. Loved our sunshine and outdoor time!

Halloween

This Halloween we based our theme on the pup. Watson just had to be an Ewok because he already looks like one. So how could we not?

Trunk Or Treat

Our church had a Trunk or Treat again this year. Attempting to take the Star Wars theme to the Trunk or Treat, Brad worked on constructing an ATAT (All Terrain Armored Transport) that was supposed to sit on the top of the car with the trunk open...did you catch the "supposed to" wording there? The day ended up being crazy windy, so much to our dismay, after all the time creating it...the ATAT just had to sit inside the trunk. (Thankfully we at least got to put it in the yard for Halloween!) Watson was a hit, and we were all frozen by the time the event was over. Loved getting to see our favorite young friends who stopped by for a bit to take in the Trunk or Treat.

Pumpkin Carving

We had an overly eventful week (eh hem, Brad and Lorelei had to spend one evening at the urgent vet) so we ended up carving pumpkins Halloween morning! We went with the Star Wars theme.

Popstroke

We fit in Popstroke for Makin with a couple of friends later that morning. They got free ice cream if they were in costume, and thankfully a friend suggested going with Hogwarts cloaks to make it simple and easy.

Halloween

The kids spent the afternoon getting the yard set up and then enjoyed handing out candy. Makin went trick or treating with Kody for part of the evening. Brad and I enjoyed visiting with friends (also enjoying seeing the trick or treaters as much as we could from just inside the door) while the kids handed out candy.

Princess Leia and the Ewok

Luke Skywalker

Darth (Kody) with his kids. ;)

Cutest. Ewok. Ever.
