Bye Bye November

It was a fun month! November came and went too quickly. We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year. Everyone had a great time and stayed for nine hours just visiting with us. It was a day of cleaning, a day of setting up and cooking and a day of taking down and decorating for Christmas. That sure is exhausting! We love spending time together as a family as you can see. 

Hot chocolate, caramel apples and cookies!
