November 2011

We had our family pictures taken at BYU for

our Christmas cards (and to finally get a whole

family picture with Emma!)

Megan had fun at a BYU Dance Camp - Emma

wore her BYU cheer uniform to the performance

at the end:)

I had fun celebrating a friend's birthday at Red Robin.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! We had a lot of

family at our house! It was great fun and lots of

great food!

Here are two tables set up together in our living

room area where adults ate:

and our other table in the dining area where

some kids sat:

Here are some of us getting dinner ready and

enjoying appetizers:

The missionaries and others had fun playing

ping pong in the garage before dinner - that's

where our couch was, too. :)

Here we are ready for dessert:

We are so thankful for all our family and blessings!

We also celebrated Mom and Dad's 65th birthdays

that day, as well as Eddie's and my 16th anniversary :)

Jodi made Copa Memory books for all of us as a

gift to Mom and Dad, too - she did an amazing job

and they are so fun to read!

I had everyone (who wanted) write what they were

thankful for on leaves - this is what Joshua wrote :)

We also had fun turkeys for kids to make.

Eddie, Cordell, Joshua and Megan had fun skiing

on Black Friday, while Mom and I had fun shopping.

Eddie, Cameron, Kirk, Joshua, Ethan, Tyson,

Cordell and Canyon had fun golfing on Saturday

after Thanksgiving, too. Megan and Zachary had fun

with cousins jumping at Lowe's Extreme until Megan

hurt her back and had to go to the ER - luckily it wasn't

broken! (We found out after x-rays and then a CT scan.)

We enjoyed our niece's baby blessing the Sunday

after Thanksgiving, and then took our family picture

afterwards - Zachary wasn't too happy about that :)

Eddie set up the Christmas lights with the help

of a scissor-lift again.

This has been a busy month with Eddie appearing

in the 10th Circuit Court in Denver before 11 judges -

and it looks like he won his case! We also hosted 6 ward

activities at our house for bishoprics, prospective elders,

and families. Eddie then made it through another Stake

Conference (he surprised me and had me bear my testimony,

but it turned out okay:)) Zachary also got glasses this month!

Emma is scooting on her bum and getting into everything,

and loves to try and walk, too (still no crawling, except up

the stairs). She is 15 months, and is very curious and cute!

She is now at 6 percentile in weight, 21 percentile in height,

and 79 percentile in head size.
