November


This month included:
Armor of God Family Home Evening.


Snow and Ice

Democracy

Play

Celebrations,

and lots of food and family, which I think about covers the rest of the post.


For Anthony's Birthday,


we played at the Hands on Museum,



Ate at Sava's,

and had dessert at Kilwins.

 Our actual Thanksgiving was mellow.  We mostly wore our pj's all day and ate baked potatoes for dinner...but with Martinelli's and by candlelight, to make it feel fancy. It also to reminded us how grateful we are for electricity.


But the next day we headed to Pittsburgh to visit Anthony's three cousins who are studying in Pennsylvania right now.  It was fun to be back in my home state visiting family, even if it's not the family from PA. :)

Second cousins


 
First cousins. Sterling Quinn, Anthony, Josh Thun, and Jake Quinn.

And the wives: Rachel, Sam, and Sharon.  Sarah was helping the bambino inside.






It was a gathering with amazing food and even better company.  The Thuns were so generous in letting us stick around for a few days, and it felt good to be with family.

In other November news: 

I finally finished the family history wall!



And Eliot just wants to share his love with the world, even if he has to say it with Sign Language.  He often tries to give strangers the "I love you" sign, but most of the time it ends up looking like the "rock on!" or satanic sign...and sometimes morphs into the lone middle finger.  sigh...

Anyway, on that note, we love you!!!
