Random November

Here are all the random things we were up to during the month of November:

Love watching them snuggle.

"Election Day bake sale tomorrow at Woodland Preschool! Stop by and pick up some yummy treats while helping to support a great school." 

"Truly's first 'mommy and me' gymnastics class was an experience. This girl has a mind of her own! Maybe one day she'll follow directions and wait her turn." 

Voting selfie.

"Civic duty completed with the help of my mini-me."

Cody makes the best Sunday lunches!

Hazel's ballet class cuties.

"Bekah and Gabe joined the older kids and me at the theatre tonight. We saw a high school production of Alice in Wonderland. Fun night with friends." 

"Game night for Family Home Evening."

"This dapper gentleman joined Hazel's preschool for a special Veteran's Day breakfast. Gary has served our country for many years, doing a tour in Iraq and traveling all over as a criminal investigator. We are very proud to call him our friend and honor him and all those who have served our beautiful country! Thanks, Gary! (I promise next time to take more pictures, oops)" 

"Happy Veteran's Day, Dad! You are my hero. I love making you laugh until you cry and watching you play at the beach with all 13 (almost 14) of your grand-kids. Love you!" 

"Breakfast date with this blue-eyed hellion. She has spent most of the week trying to destroy the house while I clean, so I decided to keep her out all morning running about at different play areas. I think she was happy about the change of scenery."

Pizza and movie night.

Hazel got these nails for her birthday. We finally put them on. She was so proud of her nails...for the five minutes she kept them on!

"By total coincidence this is the shirt Pepper picked to wear today. It didn't even occur to me the significance until later. But it provided a good opportunity to talk to the kids about recent events and to offer prayers for Parisians as a family. (On total side note, when did my little girl get this old looking?!!!!)" 

Hazel dressed up like Pocahontas for Indian Pow-Wow day at preschool.

"Hazel showing off her preschool pow-wow goodies. This girl never disappoints with facial expressions!" 

"The tooth fairy came during the night for this big girl. She approved of the fairy's choice." 

More pow-wow pics.

"Lunch and Christmas shopping date with my big girl. She's such a fun person to hang out with and is always my biggest helper. I feel so lucky to be her momma!" 

"Morgan read a scripture and said the opening prayer in senior primary today. He picked and studied his scripture all by himself for the past week. I was a very proud momma and a little sad he doesn't need my help anymore." 

"Truly was very excited to say hello to the fishies at her 18 month check up today. She was not as equally excited to see the doctor and did her best spider monkey impression holding onto me. Then she didn't even flinch or cry when they gave her a shot. Crazy little bundle of energy!" 

"Hazel enjoying her 'Charlie Brown' Thanksgiving Feast. Such a cutie-pie! Maybe if we did this at home our kids would actually enjoy the meal?!" 

"My newest niece, Anne Kendall Terry was born very early this morning. They chose her middle name in honor of my Uncle Larry, so it is fitting that seh seems to have red hair. My sister, Jill is doing great and Anne's three big sisters and one big brother were all very excited to meet her today. We can't wait to love on her after Christmas!!!!! Congrats Terry family; she's just perfect!!!!!" 

Now, on to December.
