November

Someday I will become a good blogger again so I don't have to do one whole month in a post. November came and went. It was a busy month but aren't they all. These first pictures were actually taken on October 31st but oh well. We had family pictures taken with the WHOLE Hardy family. It was a little stressful getting us all situated but they actually went surprisingly well. I took a few of the girls outside before we did the big pictures.

The whole Hardy bunch:)

Troy and I celebrated our nine year anniversary on November 2. Maegen and Jed babysat while we had dinner at the Melting Pot (sooooo yummy) and saw a movie. I am so blessed to have an amazing hubby. I love him now more than ever. He surprised me with a sewing machine. I have wanted one for along time, and I have been having lots of fun with it already.

We spent a weekend relaxing in Bear Lake. We had been wanting a quick vaca with the kids and this was perfect. My grandma and grandpa were there for a little bit and then it was just us. We had a great time. I hardly took any pictures.

We woke up to snow one Sunday morning and the kids couldn't wait to get outside and build a snowman. Troy was the main builder but Kenadee and Reese helped quite a bit! I stayed inside were it was warm and dry and made hot chocolate.

The "darn" cat we have adopted. Reese is OBSESSED with it.

We decided to have a sleepover in Heber the night before Thanksgiving. One of Troy's sisters stayed in a hotel and we took the kids swimming for awhile before we headed to Pete and Trena's house. It was fun until we had to pile into the car with wet hair and clothes. It was during the FREEZING cold temps we had. We had a blast that night playing games. Thanksgiving was spent cooking, relaxing and eating. I only got two good pictures of the whole holiday. We usually would head out to Bear Lake after dinner but because of yucky roads and freezing temps we decided the tree cutting down was going to happen this year:( The next morning I experienced my first black Friday shopping with Troy's mom and sisters. It was tons of fun but too early and cold.
