November



Our November was pretty low key.

I think I say every month that I married the best....but I mean it :)



Arya and I went in for haircuts.  It'd been a year, so we were both long due.  She had the typical little girl over grown mullet happening.  However, the haircut makes her look wayy too grown up!

I had the best stuffing making help again this year for Thanksgiving.


The morning of Thanksgiving Caleb came home from his last night of 12 hour midnight shifts and I woke up to this on our counter.  He is the sweetest and is always putting everyone else first.  He didn't want me to have to mess with breakfast the morning before i'd be doing tons of cooking.  Even on no sleep driving around finding a place open on a holiday.   Goodness I love him!


We had a stay at home Thanksgiving this year.  Gearing up for our big trip home to spend Christmas with my family.  It hasn't worked out for us to go home for Christmas since it was just me and Casen while Caleb was deployed in Afghanistan.  The kids are soo excited.

I forgot to take dessert pictures but we enjoyed pecan pie and cookie brownies the kids helped make.

October 2

I meant to save October as a draft and I guess accidently posted it, so here's the rest or our month.

My kids are obsessed with the show Good Mythical Morning.  Casen watches is every morning before school.  They eat a lot of strange things in the show and one day while we were wandering a little family store we spotted one of the foods from the show.  Jo, of course, couldn't wait to give it a try.

Sour cream and onion crickets


And the last day of the month was spent celebrating Halloween.  It's one of our favorites.  We did some crafts, made some cookies, and headed to the mall for their safe trick or treating.  The kids had so much fun.
