November 2014

-Grandpa and Pax hanging out at the salon.  Haircuts for the whole family!

-I love having this wall to decorate for each holiday!  And I love my new chalkboard banner.  This month we got to write all the things we were grateful for on it.

-Graham likes to be just like his big brother... guns and all!

-Graham's first time I sent him to time out in the corner.  It was just so dang cute, I had to take a picture.

This kid is starting to be more and more trouble ;)  Lots of climbing, toys in the toilet and more!

But we sure love his fun and happy personality!

Cute brothers!

Mommy & Pax silly faces!  (There are about 20 more pictures).

Love those big brown eyes!

 Food Bank Shopping
We went shopping at Sams Club with all my cousins and aunts and uncles to buy stuff to donate to the food bank.  I love this tradition!  I'm so grateful for my family and the things that they have taught me.  I'm grateful that we are fortunate enough to be able to do this for other people, it's truly amazing!

Young Women/Young Men Activity

One of my cute beehives had the idea to do a gender role reverse activity.  I did most of the planning and put together this awesome activity that the kids had a blast!

The boys had to do girly things and the girls had to do boy things.  We had some great laughs!  I love being a part of the Young Women!

-Painting nails

-Doing different dance moves

-tying a tie

-shaving your face (guys don't usually shave their WHOLE face, haha)!

-Lipsyncing

and many many more hilarious activities!

Thanksgiving
We normally switch of sides of the family for Thanksgiving, but this year we were able to go see both families.  We started at the Sorensons.

There was lots of yummy appetizers and fun presents for the kids to open, thanks to an awesome Aunt Rach!  Then we were treated to a yummy dinner!  Thanks to everyone that helped contribute to the meal.

It was such a nice day that kids all went outside and played.  It's so fun to have so many cousins (most of them boys).  Here they are showing me their sword sticks.

Then, trying not to be too stuffed, we went over to my parents house.  My mom always sets a beautiful table.  I'm sad that I didn't take very many pictures of everyone.

Here the kids are playing around.  Graham and Lucy playing behind the curtains.  And Paxton and Jake playing on the iPad.

All in all we had a great Thanksgiving.  I love spending time with our families!
