Happy 9th Birthday, Clara!
This year we just had a few friends over for a play date rather than a big party. Clara had a great time with Heidi and Iyla.
A favorite present this year was a marbling art kit.
Happy 3rd Birthday, Benson!
This kid would have been a happy camper with just fruit loops and cupcakes. He is FULL of energy and never stops.
He loved his paw patrol stuffed animals from Grandma Beutler!
One of the benefits of having a birthday over Thanksgiving break is that the whole family can have a pool party at the YMCA with you!
Birthday wrestling with Grandma Blacker. :-)
Happy Thanksgiving!
I volunteered in Macy's kindergarten class for their Thanksgiving feast. This girl didn't eat anything besides corn, cornbread, and juice boxes, but she sure loved having me there.
Puzzles with Grandma while we waited for dinner.
I forgot to take a picture of everyone at the table, but these were the yummy leftovers. Rainbow Jello is always the favorite tradition.
Playing dead dog after stuffing ourselves is also a favorite tradition.
The day before Thanksgiving Grandma had Lexi and Cole come over to her house and make turkey and pumpkin chocolate covered peanut butter truffles. They spent all day decorating them.
And of course we ended the day with a Christmas movie.
The morning of Black Friday Dave ventured out to Lowes with me to pick up Poinsettias for the ward relief society Christmas Party. It was so cold that some of them started freezing before we found a spot for them inside.
November Happenings
Cole participated in a robotics team competition this month. He's in the middle top of the stands in this picture. Unfortunately his team didn't do very well, but he seemed to really enjoy it.
Benson's first haircut at the grown up salon!
Clara got Braces! Her poor mouth is so small that there just wasn't room for any of her grown up teeth.
Benson wanted to watch the show on the TV that was mounted on the ceiling with Clara, so he made himself comfy on the floor next to her.
Very rarely this kid actually runs out of energy and just crashes (literally crashes) in the middle of the living room.
New House Progress
Dave (and I and my dad) put in the heating wires for parts of our new driveway. Lots of work!
Shiplap is going up in Clara's room.
Tile is going up in the master bathroom!
