We had another double birthday this month on the 10th. David turned 43 and Finn turned 22.
November began with a "Hip, Hip Hurray!" for Joseph and Kendall.
(She said YES.)
Finn kept busy this month with bowling and sunsets.
Some of us even got out to see the Northern Lights - here in both Rexburg and Morgan.
Emily, Geoff, and Mac lost their sweet little Sammy on the 12th.😢
Patrick and Grandma found that they have they same taste in clothes!
The U of U/Baylor game ended with a win for the Utes.
In sports news...Oliver continued to amaze us with his gymnastics...and Dexter continued to improve his basketball skills (even though he'd rather be taking art lessons!!) 😂
And I'm sure down in Texas there's a kid on the ice skating his heart out in hockey.
Amber and Dave got to clean the Rexburg Temple this month. Grandma and Grandpa got to clean the Ogden Temple, as well.
Speaking of Grandma and Grandpa, we were able to go and pick up a very pregnant Rosie and bring her to Utah to deliver her puppies.
Three boys and two girls were born on the 23rd!
Oliver now plays the tuba.
BYU-I is ready for Christmas.
You never know who you'll meet at the Pinner's Conference!
And another "Hip, Hip, Hurray!" This time for Alex and Amanda who just bought their first home. Congratulations!
Altogether.
What could be better?!
(The whole kit and caboodle - minus our missionaries Sean, Erin, and Esplan.)
Grateful for a week of family adventures - in no particular order - food, ice skating, shopping, Thanksgiving Point, Park City, Wicked, morning runs, MHS, puzzles, games, 'productions', Opals from Great Grandma and Grandpa Smith's collection, henna tattoos, Black Friday cyber shopping...
truly McMoments to Remember!
Hayley and Jackson even began with a quick trip to Rexburg. 😄
(Something to look forward to next month.)
Meanwhile, in Washington DC, Panama, and Ecuador...
Elder LeDuc got a new companion to train and they were also able to go to the temple.
Sean and Esplan were able to talk to each other on Thanksgiving day.
Elder McClellan attended the temple this month. They also baptized an amazing family.
Hermana McClellan had a baptism, as well.
(This is Thanksgiving dinner - Panama style)
And Erin has now completed 1/3 of her mission!!
November's last thought...
UP NEXT...
!!!!!!!!!!
Love you all so much, MOM
