November Blog

I can't believe I am just now blogging about November. As you can tell, my blogging motivation is at an all time low. Hmmmm...maybe that means I'll get Christmas cards out in February.

Aaron switched offices early in November. He is renting space from a guy he knew from law school. The office is in Spanish Fork, and so far it's working out great. He has enjoyed being so close to home. He's learning all sorts of new stuff and getting different kind of work. He's glad to be branching out from just criminal law.

Elsie loves being around family. She asks me every day who we are going to see that day. She really loves living with Jeff and Nicole's family, playing with them whenever she gets a chance.

We went to Disney on Ice with Ang and Q. It did not disappoint. I thought it was a great show. The costumes and music were awesome, and we got to see all the princesses. Bonus!



Aaron took this picture of Elsie while she was sleeping to show how she has to tuck in her snuggle stuff when she goes to sleep. Cute!


We spent Thanksgiving here in Utah. We went out to eat at Mimi's with Jeff, Nicole, Alexis, Gary, Sylvia, Angie, and Qiana. It was delicious, and tasted extra good because nobody had to cook it or clean it! Then we headed over to Gary/Sylvia's house to hang out, watch some football, and eat more snacks. Greg and Piper came down with the kids, and we had a great time. Angie had planned some cute games for the kids to play, like a turkey hunt in the backyard. It was a big hit!



The kids ended the night with a little movie watching on the bed, while us ladies stuffed our faces upstairs. haha!


There's November for ya!

Halloween

We had such a great Halloween this year! We went over to Greg and Piper's for a some Halloween fun. Gary, Sylvia, Angie, and Q joined us as well. They made us a wonderful chili/baked potato dinner, we went out trick-or-treating, and decorated cookies.

All the kids were dressed up so cute! The girls represented Disney quite well, don't you think?!

A little shout out to Angie who helped me (okay, she did the whole thing) get Elsie's "Rapunzel" wig ready and styled. Elsie felt so cool in it!


Elsie had a great time going house to house. She loved running ahead with Cannon, and we had to keep reminding them to wait up for Q and Harper. The weather was so gorgeous, and we were all so happy we didn't have to cover up the cute costumes with coats!



There's nothing like a little sugar to top off the night! We also caught her licking the frosting off the knife.


I've decided I really want to become a Halloween person. I want to go all out decorating the house/yard. I loved walking around to each house and seeing their decorations and costumes. What a great night!

Witchfest

We had the chance to go up to Gardner's Village to meet up with a dear family friend, Janice, and take part in Witchfest. The whole shopping village is decorated for Halloween, and witches set up in fun costumes all around. There's a little scavenger hunt you can do to find all of them, so, of course, we did that. We shopped around, ate some treats, and visited. Janice also treated Elsie to a little glitter face paint. That was super awesome!






I loved the fun Halloween spirit. I can't wait to dress up next year! I loved getting to visit with Janice.

Pumpkin Patch #2

(I hate when I can't get the writing at the top of the blog!)

Qiana's preschool class had a field trip to the pumpkin patch, so Ang invited Elsie and I along for the fun.

One of Elsie's favorite areas was the petting farm where you got to go in with the animals and pet them.



Aren't they scary???

Fall Festivities

We have enjoyed getting into the Fall/Halloween spirit this year. Jeff and Nicole decorate their yard with gravestones, skeletons, ghosts, etc, and Elsie loves to talk about how we live in a haunted house.

We went to the first pumpkin patch of the year with some good friends. Elsie enjoyed the corn pit most of all!



more fall festivities to come...
