November happenings: Justin's birthday was at the beginning o f the month. We had a day just to celebrate him. Making him all his favorite meals and just loving on him. We had for breakfast Empanadas filled with sausage gravy and eggs. Lunch was a very wonderful recipe for Pumpkin Chowder. Dinner was Tator tot casserole. He also spent his birthday money from my family and got a fire pit. It was so wonderful to see the excitement in everyone enjoying the first fire. Below is a picture of Justin and the kids roasting marshmallows and a picture of the Pumpkin Chowder ingredients.
We spent a warm Nebraska afternoon taking a walk and then planting some crocus bulbs. The kids all pitched in and are very excited for them to grow in the spring.
This year for Thanksgiving my mother and brother that live in Wisconsin due to work had to come the week before Thanksgiving for their visit instead of on Thanksgiving. So we enjoyed their company and the kids kept them very busy. My brother rebuilt the wagon Gabe had when he was little and brought that with him. They worked on it together putting the wheels back on and taking the Little's on rides. We had a wonderful visit!
Next we are onto Christmas! Oh this truley is my most favorite time of year. We are having a Homemade Christmas this year. I cannot wait. Thanksgiving evening we put up the tree. The kids were so excited they couldn't wait. The Christmas spirit is alive and kicking in this house. Christmas movies and music are a staple. There isn't a moment when we aren't singing and dancing to Christmas music. Gensis has been running around the house carrying "baby Jesus" (her baby doll) wearing a towel pretending to be Mary. Below are the pictures of the tree decorating. Enjoy :)
God Bless,
JOY
