November started with at Winter overnight trip with the Young Women in the ward. Silas was lucky enough to tag along and was quite a hit with the girls. We went to the Toone's cabin up at Brighton. The next morning we woke up to some snow and went on a short walk around Silver Lake.
We also attended International Gaming Day at the Viridan Event Center. The kids joined us and played games with us for a solid 6 hours. We played Disney Code Names...which was harder than we thought it would be.
Our friend Paul joined us for part of the day. We played Isle of Monsters...and I think that Phin won.
We also played Settlers of Catan Junior...Phin caught on very quickly. We played lots of other games...but my phone also died this month...so I lost all of the photos I had taken.
Seth was willing to hang up Christmas lights again.
While Seth worked on lights Phin volunteered to blow leaves.
We were also blessed to have my 2nd cousins Penny and Chase over on Penny's birthday. Chase and Penny always play with our kids and they LOVE it.
The kids went through a stage this month where they were playing with their stuffed animals.
They also were playing with some of their toys...it makes my heart happy to hear them playing pretend.
Millie had the classic Thanksgiving Feast at school.
Phin had a feast too. I signed up for him to bring carrots. I put the carrots in his bag and reminded him as he headed to school for the day. After school I checked his bag...and the carrots were still there. Hopefully this is just typical boy stuff...
On Thanksgiving we held our First Pie for Breakfast party. Our kids loved having friends over to play games.
We also started the tradition of giving our kids new jammies on Thanksgiving...then they can lounge around all day.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving we headed up to Cache Valley for a family get together. Phin got to shoot a BB gun for the first time.
Millie loved running around with her cousins and playing with new toys.
Grandma Jo also had a little craft ready for all the kids.
Millie loved making her train...Phin loved eating his train and probably ate it all in one sitting.
Silas loved getting attention from his cousin Hollie.
Seth was also able to get a game in with Beth, Hyrum and Hannah.
Uncle Jotham offered horse rides. Seth said Millie was hesitant at first but by the end was a major horse lover.
We also got to see cousin Mark's hedgehog.
Jotham pulled out his drum for Silas.
We pulled out the play-doh one day and Phin made a mighty mustache.
We also went to the zoo for Wild Wednesday. Silas looked adorable all bundled up.
Silas got a little haircut this month. His hair is so fuzzy on top it just sticks straight up.
We also went to the Children's Museum with Amy, Zoey, Connor and Grace.
For some reason when we pull toys out into our family room our kids play better with them...I think they just want to be where everyone else is hanging out.
