Novembering '24

Many in our family continued to fight off different types of germs this month.  There were some happy memories thrown in there as well...

We had a belated celebration for Lydia's birthday.

Cards....

And a special treat.

Josiah attempted to wear my shoes.

When Ezra gets to sit on his grandpa's motorcycle.

Living his best life!

Ezra ran a 5K race with his Run Hard team. 

Beach was a great sport and was his "running buddy" for the race.

He did amazing!

My Cheerleader buddy. We are so proud for our little guy.

He ran the race under 24 minutes and finished 6th place out of all the 5th graders.

I hope he does it again in the spring.

Selfies found on my phone, November edition....

Including requested selfies.

You never know what these girls will be up to.

Another fabulous Friendsgiving (and the only pic I took).

We decorated the cafe for Christmas.

Thankfully we had the grand Lovelands to help us with their skills!

We were glad to have Shiloh's help as well.

Fun times at the park with friends...and the only pic I thought to take while we were leaving.

The grands watched the kids for the night and the boys hung out...

while the girls went to a pageant at their school.

Silly sister twins.

Sweet movie snuggles.

While I catch up on some work.

We also had a great Thanksgiving celebrations as well!

Always love the fall season and this year was no different (minus all the sickness).

Thanks thats giving ('24)

 This year Beach's parents were out of town for Thanksgiving day, so we celebrated with them a day early.

Donna always loves whipping up a feast.

Shiloh added whipped cream herself to her pumpkin pie (can you tell 😂).

Sneaky looks.

The kids love making stickers on my phone from our photos, and they think it very funny to send it to others.

Didn't get through the night without some selfies.

Sleepy girl.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day Beach made his famous gluten free waffles and the Russells were able to join us.

Macy Day Parade snuggles.

Writing thanks on our traditional tablecloth.

Little rest time thrown in.

The kids helped with some of the sides that we made for dinner. 

Shiloh enjoys adding extra decorations to make it extra special.

My parents yard has some beautiful changing leaves, so we snagged some family photos.

Cousins (we just miss our Josiah)!

With the Grands!

Including a reenactment....

Such a beautiful day!

Family Photos!

We, also, had fun making some leaf throwing/jumping photos.

Ready, set, go!

The grands even participated as well!

I love all the joy in the photos!

We enjoyed eating together, kid table...

And adults that were there this year.

If you hand Zoe my phone there is a good chance there will be selfies thrown in there.

Always love our thankful rolls!

And yummy desserts (which I didn't get a great picture of). 

Even through much hard, there is so much to be thankful for and we had such a special day.
