November 2016

We made it through the second month in our new house!

In November, we celebrated Dale's 33rd birthday! He had a spice cake with pralines and caramel ice cream, which none of the kids liked so we had to eat it all ourselves...

At one point the water was unsafe to drink, so we were on a voluntary boil advisory for 2 days which meant no school, and our fridge was full of water pitchers of boiled water. Thank goodness for running water which is *usually* safe for us to drink! 

We also had a visit from Uncle Nate, celebrated Thanksgiving with a few families in our ward (the preparation was intense)...

and set up our Christmas decor the day after...

Judy (and baby girl) grew and grew! This was taken at 25 weeks.

Kimball performed on Veteran's Day with the 4th grade honor choir; got very involved in the presidential election, keeping us apprised of all the election gossip at school; finished up soccer and started basketball; and loved helping put up Christmas lights the day after Thanksgiving... 

Cameron got to be Star Student...

have Lily and me join him at school for "Moms and Muffins"...

and built a robot named Chase out of garbage for a school assignment.

Lily loved trying on glasses at the eye doctor...

Started potty training (I remember with Kimball thinking potty training was a quick event but I know now that it just goes on and on until one day there aren't any more accidents...we're still in the "on and on" part)...

loved playing in the leaves...

 and just continues to be too darn cute!
