What did happen in November....

Karissa and Alexis came to play and initiate my new couch and try on Thanksgiving dresses to wear to Grandpa John's the next day.
















We had Turkey day the Saturday before Thanksgiving with tree climbing lessons and lots of gluten- free eating. David, Brenda, and Desirae joined us for the day. We also welcomed Nancy as she moved in to stay with us for a while. PaRTY!


Jacob and Josef hold up the quilt (showing front and back) that Jacob and Jenn made for her cousin Annie. Josef is holding his nephew, William.

Great Aunt Nancy, Karissa and Alexis spent an afternoon playing at my house.

Desirae became a 5 year old at the end of October, but we celebrated her birthday in November. Pictured here with her parents, David and Brenda Hoffman.
