November 2020

 

Alissa has a new job!  She gets to be a nanny to this cute little guy.

We decided to try a tradition my sister Teresa has for Thanksgiving - a Harry Potter Marathon!  The kids really wanted us to have some fun themed snacks for it and this is what we came up with...

I got a bit festive with our raspberry pretzel salad for our Thanksgiving feast.

We love to have fun food for holidays - and WinCo joined the fun with a turkey shaped butter!

We started our Harry Potter Marathon after our Thanksgiving feast.  The kids NEEDED to have us draw our house assignments out of a hat (like the sorting hat) so they could cheer on their house throughout the movies (thanks Aunt Tera for that idea).  The twins made flags for us all!

Cameron learned how to make an origami knife!

These are a couple projects Matt has been working on around the yard...

The Prophet urged us all to spend the week before Thanksgiving posting thankful messages on social media.  It was SO great to hear from so many friends and loved ones and realize how blessed we all are.  I especially loved this post one of my siblings put up about my parents and my family - LOVE it!

Look how fast these two are growing up on me.

Alissa and Trevor got to experience the joy of their dad wearing this wig through a drive thru!

A few more of our fun Thanksgiving foods - this was our place cards - a Hershey nugget body.

Two GREAT announcements this month - I got a new niece and my baby brother's wife is having TWINS!!!!  She's due right around the time I had my twins - that'd be cool if all the twins shared a bday!

And to end our November - we had lots of rain this month which means more fun opportunities to jump in giant puddles!!
