More notes from November


Thanksgiving was quiet and nice. We had my brother and a friend from our hometown over for dinner. Since everything was low key, we were able to spend some quality time as a family. We made a Thanksgiving Tree together. Some of our favorite leaves: Milk-Tobin (well we were guessing what he was thankful for), Dinner & Ice Cream-Joshua. Naptime-Mommy, Pumpkin Pie-Daddy. All jokes aside, we know we have so much to be thankful for. I often lay in bed under my warm comforter in our safe, little world and think of a mother in a small hut far away trying to keep her babies warm and protected from harm. We are blessed.

In the spirit of thankfulness, I ventured out for my now annual Black Friday shopping. We had been contemplating a high efficiency washer and dryer and saw a really good deal. So, I lined up at 6 AM with about 100 other people at a local appliance and electronic store. Fortunately I didn't have to throw any elbows to get our deal. The fun part? BIG BOXES. The guys (all three of them) had a blast with the boxes for the next week. I still remember playing with big boxes as a kid. Good times!

Yay for boxes and kids who would rather play with them than expensive toys!!! So fun!
