A Month in Review

I'm not sure where November went. I guess I've been a little more preoccupied than I'd like to admit. Here is a quick overview of things that happened in November.

Turkey Headbands at the Library. Tee Pees at the library. Made out of flour tortillas, pretzels, markers, vanilla frosting. If I were to do it again (and we probably will next year) I would use flour tortillas, pretzels, edible food coloring markers, and cream cheese. I think they turned out really cute and the kids had a lot of fun putting them together. Zoe's is on the left, Noah's is on the right.

Trying out a new self-serve Frozen Yogurt shop for FHE. There were too many choices as far as yogurt and toppings. I can't wait to go back. Dress up fun. Walmart had a really good sale after Halloween on their left over costumes, 75% off. Here is Super Girl and the Fire Fighter. Still to come Dorothy and the Army Guy.

The result of our Water Problem. The City of Fernley reimbursed us for water we didn't use. A grand total of $716.56. Maybe it will be a Good Christmas after all.

We decided to have Thanksgiving in Roseville this year since the weather was still so nice. We got up early Thanksgiving morning to make the trip, as you can see we left the kids in their PJs, and got back that night around 10:30 PM since Dan had to work the next day. We stopped by to grab a paper on our way out of town and I shopped all the way over the summit. We enjoyed breakfast at Grandma and Grandpa Woffinden's and then snacks and dinner at Aunt Charlynn's. It was a nice day with family. Charlynn put us to work helping with the finishing touches - I even got to make a chocolate pie! It was the first time I had a smoked Turkey, I'm not much of a Turkey fan, but I could eat this any day. Dan loved Grandma's sweet potatoes - I finally discovered a way that he will eat them. We got to meet Uncle Dennis and Cousin Alex. Zoe really loves her Great Uncle Dennis, I'm so sad I didn't get any pictures of them interacting with one another, or anyone else for that matter. He some how got her to eat her dinner and by the end of the evening she was sitting on his lap. The kids also had fun playing with Kelly and can't wait for her to come to our house. As always, Charlynn was good about letting Noah and Zoe feed the chickens and gather the eggs. We even got to spend some time with Uncle Matt. Grandma challenged him to write a song about her and make it sound Hot. Two words you usually don't use together - Hot Grandma. We also got to try Tofurkey. All in all it was a nice day - too bad we couldn't stay longer.
