The Morning Sun Rises

If you wake up early on a cloudy morning in November this is what you get to see just before the sun rises. It takes my breath away every time but that's about as long as it lasts so I often miss it. This picture was taken on November 24th.

Thanksgiving Feast

Eden told me that she told her teacher that I would help with her class Thanksgiving Feast Pancake party on November 22nd. There were already several mom helpers but I went anyway. Eden was so happy to show all her friends her little baby sister. About two weeks after this party I found out Eden is severely allergic to wheat and milk. These were probably the last flour pancakes she'll ever have.

Tis The Season!

Our neighbor Julie Harris took these pictures on November 22nd for a slide show for our ward Christmas party.

Hey Baby, What Do You See?

Early November 19th we got a bunch of snow. It was impossible to keep Eden and Austin inside when there was so much fun to be had outside. Unfortunately, I won't let Evelyn crawl around in the snow so she has to wait until she learns to walk. I wish that would happen soon. At least she was a happy spectator.

Where's the Kitty?

There he is! There's nowhere safe to hide.

On November 18th Dallin was getting ready for his last  scout campout of the year. Ryan went with him and they woke up the next morning with their tent caving in from all the snow on top. But I sent them with secrets, namely the fleece blankets you see in the picture above, and they stayed toasty warm all night.

Family Pictures

Back in October we had new family photos taken by our neighbor Laura Henry. She did such a great job and I was so excited but I wanted to wait to post them until our Christmas cards went out. If you follow my blog on Google Reader you will have to go to my original blog and see everyone's updated pictures.

It was so cold I thought for sure the kids would complain but they were all really good sports. We bundled them up in between shots to keep them warm.

Evelyn had so many cute pictures I couldn't pick just one. She just sat on a little log and made the cutest faces.

Evelyn kept trying to eat my necklace while trying to take this shot. It was so funny. We finally got one without her attached to my neck.

My handsome boys. I was so worried the bright sun would make us look shaded but instead it just lit up all the fall colors around us. It was the perfect day and perfect place for a family picture.
