NOVEMBER

November turned out to be as snowy as October but, with more sunshine. Mattias had his 8th birthday on the 10th, the kids played in the snow, and we celebrated Thanksgiving for the first time on our own.
This is Matt's cake after the candles and after the decorations were taken off.....I was not in charge of pictures or it would have been a better shot....it was a transformers cake anyhow. Next are some photos of the kids after eating cake: Matt, Ronan, Marcel, JJ, & Amanda

On Thanksgiving we woke up and got the kids ready, we needed them to get out. We all had cabin fever, so we made the kids get dressed and play outside. We didn't have the snow suits from Grandma yet so we layered them thick.....Ronan came back in after 10 minutes and played video games while Matt stayed out and helped our neighbors build a snowman that was like 7 feet tall. Marcel liked the snow until he got cold....he lasted longer than Ronan by half an hour. When we came in I was cooking our Thanksgiving Feast, mom you would have been proud.

I made way too much food for my family of 5.
This is Matt helping Ronan across the snow to the playground

This Marcel almost at the point where he wanted to go in, look at his cold face.
And this is our spread.......I love Matty's Turkey
