I am a little behind so here are some information and pictures from November.

I took K to see The Nutcracker with the local home school group. She moved (bounced up and down in the movie theater type seats) the entire 90 minutes, including the intermission. Fortunately, we did not spend a lot of money on the tickets; they perform a day show for the local schools and it was only $5/ticket. Afterwards we met Adam for lunch. I asked K what her favorite part of the ballet was and she said, “When the backdrop went up and down.” We definitely won’t be spending money on ballet lessons!

K had an exciting month. Our 25 broilers arrived and she claimed them as her own. She calls them “her chicks” and she helps with taking care of them (don’t worry, she is fully aware of what we do with broilers). At the beginning of the month, she had 1 mildly loose tooth. I went to work one day and when I arrived at my parents she was missing 2 teeth. Apparently, she and G were playing rough and the tooth that was loose fell out and another tooth became loose in the process. During her “nap” she decided to go ahead and pull the second one out. Fortunately the day before my MIL sewed a tooth-fairy pillow with a little pocket for teeth. Her new teeth are coming in and she is so proud of her missing teeth. We sang “All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth” a lot this Christmas!

K and G have always been close and they are definitely best buddies! They have started sleeping in the same room as well.

The kids love to watch Andy Griffith scenes with Adam. Their favorite is The Preamble to the Constitution. This is some of my favorite pictures of them laughing together.

We went to my sister’s house for Thanksgiving. Aaron, Laura and their boys recently bought a house on 7 acres in Winder GA, which is NE of Atlanta and close to Athens GA. We had a great time visiting with family and my friend, Elin, came down from NC as well.

We were loaded down. Adam and I in the front, 3 kids in car seats in the back seat and Duke was in the cargo area. Of course our luggage was on top!
