November News

This November started off with a Fall Festival for Bradley’s school.  The PTA raised a lot of money and the kids had lots of fun. 

The big hit was having the Aloha Safari Zoo there and a big snake laying in the middle of the grass.  Also, they brought the pig.  The class who sold the most raffle tickets for each grade got to witness their teacher kissing a pig.  Very cute idea but Bradley’s class did not win.


Gavin is still silly in November.

We had a surprise baby shower for Liz at our HUHF group.  It was complete with a pre Thanksgiving feast and she got lots of baby essentials which was a total blessing.

Another banner made. 

 
We had a great time playing games and enjoying Liz’s favorites with her.  Sonic drinks and Ccups cupcakes. Definitely not hard to love those things.
 
We tried to see Santa early this year at a festival of trees but the line was crazy.  We got a few cute pictures out of it. 






That night we went to a housewarming party for Amanda.  She had the house built and she is a first time homeowner.  So happy for her.  Happiness means letting the kids play with fire? They were totally on Dad territory with that one.  Brad also helped her on moving day and I do have a good picture of that.  I didn’t take too many with my camera at the party.  I honestly was trying for the kids not to ruin her new house that was all still very white inside.


Also in November, Bradley must have liked all the campfires since he decided to build one with a lamp in the hallway.  He set up seats to sit around it.

We thought about all the things we were thankful for.

Easton and Gavin took scissors to their hair and snipped a few good pieces off down to their scalp.
 
Gavin often likes to move his bed stuff down in front of the door and practically barricades it.  I think on this night I had gone out for a girls night out and he was waiting up for me. 

On November 24th, Mike and Liz welcomed baby Amelia Rose Salvog into their hearts and lives. She came on Saturday night and on Sunday morning after church I was able to go see her.  Liz did so great and was so strong. Milly is cute, tiny and rosy red.  She also helps me with my girl baby fever.  Shhhh! So glad to witness a third blessing for this family.
