We had such a busy November that I blinked and it was over!
The first and VERY exciting event in November was Beren's first Wrestling tournament. He wrestled three matches and Won the second one!
This is the video of the match he won.
He was so excited, he ran straight to his coach!!
I wasn't sure about wrestling. But, Beren Really loves it and is doing so well. I am glad we gave it a try, the camaraderie is like nothing I have ever experienced in sports. I am now a fan!
Beren's Cubscout Den went on a field trip to a Steel Foundry.
Hard Hats!!
Molten Steel!!
Every little boys Dream! They got to keep the hard hats and a chunk of melted Chrome, my son was in Heaven!
Eris has starting Volunteering on the weekends at a local Horse Ranch! She helps with barn chores, cattle sorting and roping. As well as Horse Handling for Children's B-day parties and Riding classes.
She comes home dirty, exhausted and with a huge smile on her face. She is gaining some great life skills and working hard, it is a win-win!
Every year, the month before Christmas, the kids and I go through the house and collect things for donations. This year was one of our biggest trips ever, it almost didn't fit in the car!
I love that my kids are so enthusiastic about clearing out the old and giving to the less fortunate!
Beren built a log cabin out of graham crackers, pretzels and peanut butter.
Just because!
I was so excited this year to have Tye and her children for Thanksgiving.
Cousins veggin out!
Ice Skating!!
Look at that smile!
I love how Baylee is trying to do what her Big Brother is doing.
More awesome smiles!
My kids had the best time with their cousins. This is what the holidays are all about!
Time for Dinner!
Tye and I spent All day in the kitchen together. A day I will cherish forever. Cooking with my Best Friend, for our Children, who spent all day playing together. We literally used to daydream about sharing moments like these!
This was the first year we had a Children's table.
The first Thanksgiving our families have spent together. I am truly Grateful!
Time for the crafting to begin!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Holidays. My heart is so full this year with the time spent with loved ones. I live for this time with my family, sharing laughter, love and quiet moments of cuddles. These truly are the moments I will carry with me to eternity.
