November in a nutshell

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and is surviving the shopping for Christmas season. I'm behind on posting photos so here's a hod podge of my favories from November, and a few from December....

ok, so one from October too.... 13 kids going trick or treating together... CRAZY! but they had so much fun!

Some fun in the leaves! My favorite thing about fall (it sure isn't the actual raking process... that we still haven't done)

Clara trying to fly......nuff said.

Grandma and Grandpa played their dulcimer music for us while we were cooking lunch. Added a beautiful festive touch to our gathering.

Paul making gravy on turkey day. He became the gravy man early on in our marriage.... it's just not my thing.

I just love this sweet smile!


Oscar is doing well and enjoying the holidays. Of course, when people keep giving you ham bones and turkey leftovers, what's not to enjoy?

And the cat is certainly not suffering either.... :)



The girls got all decked out in their Christmas shirts the other day and had fun playing. Clara adores her big sister.

So it might not be good form to publish photos that include your toliet... But this was Paul's weekend project and I'm in love with it!
