Hurried Holiday Nov

 November:

Avery got her school pictures back

 Kilian and I got to spend some time outside doing yard work

 Getting into the holiday spirit. Kilian loved this hat so much and he looked so dang cute in it that I ended up getting it for him. Avery didn't want the Christmas tree hat. She chose a Santa hat with leopard print where the white usually is.

 Fun at the store with Aunt Lisa

 Getting the house decorated for Christmas.

 Thanksgiving was a small affair for us this year. Mom and Dad were in Utah and James had to work most of the day. So it was just Lisa, myself and the kids. But we still had a wonderful time and a wonderful meal. Avery was very proud of being able to set the table all by herself.

 And we thankfully feasted. :)

 Things got a bit messy....

 but we managed to get it cleaned up. :D

 The kids were happy to have their Nona and Grumpy home for a couple weeks before they went back to Utah for Christmas. We made some gingerbread houses and they snuggled up to watch the Polar Express with them.
