Some November happenings

We celebrated Faith's birthday at home on her actual birthday: November 1st. She requested German Chocolate cake. I cannot believe that it was ten years ago that I gave birth to my little baby Faith!

 On the 5th it snowed and the kids couldn't even wait to change out of their pajamas to play in it!

 On the 6th we celebrated Faith's birthday at the grandparents. We stopped by Braegger's so they could see both cakes intact,

then over to my mom & dad's for dinner and presents.

Faith's big gift was a new bedding set--in zebra stripes and pink!

Faith wanted a Twilight Bella bride cake, designed it, and decorated nearly all of it herself (I helped assemble the pieces and crumb coat)! Christian thought  his pirate doll made a good Edward.

We needed a bit more cake for all the family members, so we also got a WalMart one.

Christian wanted to be in charge of the camera at Braegger's, and he decided to video instead of take pics.


Here's Buddy on Nov. 10th with his Dusty's fuzzy belly.

And here's the wooden sign that I finally finished right before Halloween. Hey, I only started it the year before! ;)

We also decided to have some fun with the camera timer that day.

On the12th the Lowe's project was this cool science set. The kids had a blast doing some of the experiments at home.

On the 18th Buddy's preschool class had a Thanksgiving feast where each child brought a traditional Thanksgiving dinner food. He loved that Miss Kelly went all out with a tablecloth, turkey plates and napkins! There was even sparkling grape juice to drink.

The 19th we got to go to a free Santa breakfast at the Layton Hills mall. The kids painted their nails for the event.

It was sponsored by Chik-fil-A and the kids got a nugget meal with fruit cup and apple juice for breakfast. Their favorite!

Next, we were off to Lowe's to make Santa's sleigh. Look at all the patches on their aprons!

And for some extra fun that day, we fed the ducks at Barne's park.

Here's Christian on the 20th with his favorite of Grandma Braegger's Christmas decor. It plays music and has a train that spirals up and down the tree.

On the 21st Tammy took me shopping to Torrid in the Fashion Place Mall to try on some boots I saw online. Christian found this cool hat to try on at Penny's.

That night, Faith and I went to see Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 with Chelsea, Tina, Lana and Tammy. We grabbed a bite at Olive Garden first.

We had Lana take Baby out for the honeymoon scene, but it was shorter than we thought it would be. She was mad! But overall loved the movie and the girls' night out ♥
