ahhh, november...I love November! I have fondly nicknamed this the "month of Bobby", since his birthday is the beginning of LOTS of fun for him - his birthday, deer hunting, and his favorite holiday, Thanksgiving! The kick-off before he leaves for deer hunting with my dad is our annual "Veteran's Day" program at school. Our school does such a lovely job of honoring our veterans and reminding our students why they are so fortunate for their freedom. This year Livia was in the 5th grade choir singing patrriotic songs. Here are some pictures from that special day...

Thanksgiving was celebrated at my parents' house with the Woods and the Withers Families...what game did we bring? Of course, "Pie Face"!

The Day After Thanksgiving
Our tradition has always been to chop down our own Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. This year we stayed local and tried a new Christmas tree lot just 5 miles west of town. We were the first family that arrived, so everyone so very excited to see us!

this is the one!
we decided to tie it on top of the truck this year, since it is still technically "new"...
it was a fun and enjoyable outing - as usual!

Christmas with the Mordorski Family
We met up with the Mordorksi Family at the Original House of Pancakes (we may have gone to 2 different locations that morning...but who's counting?). Everybody LOVES breakfast, so we met up to fill our tummies before heading to SkyZone for some jumping fun.

A Visit with Santa
Our annual tradition is for the girls to dress up in their christmas dresses and meet santa at the mall.
livia's exact words were, "THAT was the real Santa!"
~it's beginning to look a lot like christmas~
