Almost a month in review

Geez! I haven't posted in SO LONG and my friend Robyn is starting to really give me a hard time. Here's what we've been up to...




Ava is our 1 year old God-daughter. Her mommy, Shawna, is one of my sweet friends from church. Ok, Ava's birthday was November 5th but as you can see, I've fallen off the blogging wagon! I really have no excuse. I've been busy.

Happy Birthday, sweet baby!



We've been helping Nathan's dad move out to his new house in Bergheim. It's been a big job but it's also been quality time together with family. Here's Daniel's Model A. Did I say that right? (I know nothing about cars).



Jayla got baptized on Nov. 23.



This picture is from a girls shopping night at The Shops at La Canterra. Joy, Rachel, Bethany and I went to get mini facials at Origins. It was fun. We got some shopping done and had dinner at P.F. Changs.




After the 1/2 marathan we had Nathan's Men's Stars retreat, which was awesome, by the way! After his retreat came Thanksgiving. We had a great time with family. For lunch we went to my cousin Sandy's house with Mom, Kelly, Clint and the girls. Here's Sandy's daughter, Lauren. Who hasn't done this olive-finger thing? So cute!









Afterwards we went by to see Granny in her new place. She seems to be very happy.





















For dinner we had Nathan's parents over to our house for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm 34 years old and this was my first Thanksgiving where I cooked. I've gotten by for a nice long time without being the cook. Not bad, eh?











Now, it's almost time for Santa!
