Another month is over

I can't believe November is done and another year is about to end. Wow, it goes fast. Well we tried a new thing for the month of November to try and teach our kids just how much they really have to be thankful for. They really need to work on coming up with new things to say in their prayers so we had made a thankful poster. Every night at dinner everyone had to come up with one thing they were thankful for and there could be no repeats. Emma was able to do it most nights by herself and I was surprised that even James could come up with some as well. He did need some help because he would usually say he was thankful for dinner every night even though he wasn't eating any of it. We would remind him that dinner was all ready up there and then he would come up with something else and then he would.

For December we will be doing a countdown to Christmas by reading a scripture about Christ everyday at dinner. Here is our countdown chain.

 

Emma begged everyday since Thanksgiving to put up the Christmas tree saying we were the only family that didn't all ready have theirs up. We finally go it up Nov. 30th which was much too late according to Emma.



And now pictures of what you have all been waiting for: NOVEMBEARD!

 

Here is Quinn with proof that he can grow a beard after a full month of growth. The funny this is it comes in mostly red and now with a little gray. Enjoy because it is gone now.
