Our November

Happy Holidays to all of you fabulous people!  This is such a great time of the year.  Once Halloween comes, time seems to fly by even faster.  We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving.  Sometimes I wish that we could just pause time and enjoy it for a little longer.  Here is a review of our November and of our Thanksgiving.

The weekend before Thanksgiving my cute cousin/roommate came to visit.  It is always good to catch up.

We finally got to meet cute Baby Brooklyn:

The Children's Museum:

We went to a popular Milwaukee Restaurant.The entrance is hidden and you have to know the password to enter.  If you don't know the password then you have to do something crazy; like ring-a-round the rosies or the chicken dance.  Once inside while you are eating dinner you can go on secret spy missions throughout the restaurant.  

It was fun to see how the girls interacted.  They are going to be great friends!

On Monday morning we were going to walk to the zoo.  But then we woke up to a ton of snow.  We quickly changed our plans.

We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with some of our closest Wisconsian friends.  The best part of it was that my beautiful momma flew in that day.  It is always fun to eat yummy food and be with loved ones.

 We celebrated it with the Lofgrans, the McCoys, the Sister Missionaries, and a sister from our ward. 

It was wonderful to have my momma come and visit with us.  She is always a delight to be around.  While she was here she took good care of me while I came down with what we later found out to be pneumonia, she played with Abigail lots, we played tons of games, did Christmas preparations, went to the Children's Museum, checked out Christmas lights, went to the Chicago Temple, etc. It was great to have her here and we can't wait for her to come back again.
