November. Now, THAT Was FUN!

What a month! We sure had fun. It started with a group (Nick, Mom, Delynn, our friend, Deidre and I) going on a mini trip up to Rexburg to help Carrie (Nick's finace) prepare all the wedding invitations. It was such a fun getaway. The first night, at Craigo's I ran into some old friends. Here's me and Dr. Curtis, the wonderful doctor who delivered Spencer over 8 years ago.
Me and his sweet daughters, Lydia and Rachel. It was SO neat to see them again!
My first visit to the Rexburg, Idaho Temple. It was VERY special.

Visiting Yummy Gator Jack's in Rigby, Idaho. I ordered a "Cluck n' Nuts Sandwich" We decided that Delynn's Cluck, and I'm nuts.
The future mother-in-laws order up. My friend Stacy and I prepare to release our ebook, 'Harvey Hunts for Hugs' on the internet. Stay tuned, more info to come!
Spencer's 3rd grade class was assigned to disguise their own turkey to help it safely make it through Thanksgiving. He chose to dress it up as Yoda. We stuck on a glowstick to make the lightsaber look cool. The finished product was amazing. (Almost as amazing as Spence's candy blue lips).
The night Will was invited to attend Karate with his friend Gage, and literally broke through a wooden board. Hi-yah!
The night bullies(Ben, Megan, Spence, Will, and Allie) attacked the oblivious grown-ups(Alfonso, Carrie, Nick, and Grandma) with random cruel notes.

The night Spence got his Bobcat in Scouts, he also led the Pack in the Pledge of Allegiance. We are proud!
Team Ralph, November 20, 2009. Happy Birthday Alfonso/Dad/Papa!
Spencer thoughtfully gave Alfonso a banana and an orange for his birthday. So funny!
The scene of the crime. Alfonso's Birthday Party :)




Statue of Liberty? Alfonso was such a good sport, he wore his crown almost the whole day!
Alfa, Shane, and Ammon.
The many sides of Ben and Bill.
Evidence from "THE NIGHT SUGAR TOOK OVER," leaving nothing but a bunch of laughing hyenas. I literally set out all the kid's pinata candy and Halloween candy and said, "Go to town." We haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

Ammon's 2nd Birthday Party at the Lehi Pool



The fun continued with a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at Mom Terry's house, and a nice leisurely weekend. This has been a great thanksgiving filled month, I look forward to brimming with Christmas cheer and celebrating with my friends and loved ones. . . (that means you, I hope!)
p.s. Tonight, we put up the tree! It was so fun to decorate it together. The boys did a great job don't you think? BTW, prelit trees are THE BEST!

I remember meeting Dr. Curtis once upon a long time ago when I came up to visit you in Driggs. It looks like you have had a super busy month full of good times and lots of laughter! I am sure there will be a lot more good things coming with the Christmas holidays too! I am excited to hear more about the book you did :) You are my super-talented friend and I love your guts!

How fun to go to the Rexburg Temple! It looks a lot like Boston. And it was fun to see Rexburg all covered in snow. Ah the good ole days! Love all the pics of your family, and your tree is gorgeous. Merry Christmas!
