Can't Believe November is over!

The month has gone fast. It began with beautiful weather and has ended with a ton of snow!!

We had a good Thanksgiving. I decided to do a craft with Jacob and we (mostly I) made little place markers for Thanksgiving day dinner. Jacob helped with the glue and did a good job. After that he just wanted to play with the googley eyes.

We spent Thanksgiving at my sister, Heidi's house. My parents were there and we had a fun and relaxing day. Dinner was so good and Jacob got to sit at the kids table with his cousin Olivia.

After dinner, while we were visiting, some of the kids went in to play with the Wii. Jacob, wanting to be in the thick of it, grabbed the TV remote and ran around the room waving it so he could be "playing" with the kids.

Jason took a vacation day on Monday. We had about 6 inches of snow on Sunday night so we put on the snow gear and walked down to the park to sled with Jacob. This really was my first time too. "What!" you say? "You're how old and haven't gone sledding?" And I probably wouldn't have gone yesterday, except that Jason has snow pants I could use, and, last year, we bought some boots for me. My "normal" snow clothes are a coat and boots to get me from the car to where ever I need to be. You also have to remember that I grew up in California and did not see snow until my freshman year at BYU. To you who grew up with snow that seems weird...just like it is weird to me that kids grow up without seeing the ocean!


It was fun to see Jacob sled down, get up and be so deep in the snow that he couldn't move.

We also decorated (semi decorated depending on which decorations I was willing to put up, knowing Jacob would be touching and rearranging all month) for Christmas. Jacob thought it was so exciting to get the tree out and put things on it!
Can't believe tomorrow is December!!
