The End!

YIKES!!  Can you believe that today is the end of November already???

Before it slips past me I did want to share some Thanksgiving with you all.  And as a side note, Advent has begun and it is my FAVORITE season of the year. It really is.  I love our traditions...which now I should admit, we are officially 3 days behind on.  If you only knew the chaos we currently going on, you would maybe understand.  I promise you, that as soon as I am done with this post, I am headed out to the garage to get Advent going in our house! PROMISE!

We did not host Thanksgiving this year -due to chaos- but we certainly did celebrate!  It began with a trip to school the Monday before to share it with the First Graders!

 Everyone got to make hats!

 A special treat, Daddy was able to come!
 And perhaps the most fun for CJ's class, was on Wednesday they had earned the prize for all of the First Grade that their teacher dressed as a turkey! 
Fantastic teacher!

We also went to Eric's Squadron feast on Tuesday and on Thursday we shared a wonderful meal with some friends, and I got off easy on what I had to bring!

I am grateful for our many blessings, even when they cause life to turn upside down for a while.  November was overflowing with blessings and some of our dreams were finally placed into reality after being wise and thoughtful about the process and saving our pennies. (Okay maybe a few dollars too ;) ).  

I hope you found November to be a blessing for you and your family. That Advent is a wonderful season you can enjoy while preparing and waiting.

Now I'm off to pull out our Advent stuff.  But check back soon. Since the pictures are imported and edited, I might just get them posted!
