November 2012

Let's be honest here...I am seriously behind.  Hello, it is November 2013, not November 2012 but for the sake of this family blog I am going back in time to 2012. :)  Honestly, I don't remember a whole lot of what went on that month, but here are some of the pictures.

Keely meets Great Grandpa Blackhurst for the first time

 

Cousins...Keely and Presley (love the look on Keely's face)

 

Happy little 2 month old!

 

Zander's catch...the boys love it when Matt takes them out fishing.

 

McKay crawled into Keely's bed, she enjoyed the company

 

Thanksgiving was spent with the Yearsley's this year.  It was a fun day of food and family.  The next day we went up to Spencer to cut down a Christmas tree to take home.  The group split up and it ended up being a bit of a frustrating time.  What should have been family time picking out our tree was Chase and Grandpa Yearsley picking out the trees.  This one that Trey is holding is the one we had chosen for our family.  We ended up with a completely different one after all was said and done.  

No Charlie Brown

This year our tree is anything BUT a Charlie Brown tree. We were at Smith's on Saturday and saw these beautiful trees for a great price so we decided to purchase one. Then came the hard part . . . how to get it home (we were in the Sequoia). Matt and Chase were able to get it on the roof of the car and then a friend of Matt's from work helped them secure it. Laying on its side this tree was almost half as tall as the car. We got it home and into the house to thaw out so it would be ready for FHE. It is HUGE, but so pretty!!
Last night for FHE we read the The Last Straw and drew our names for our onw acts of servie. Then we hung all the ornaments. It is so fun to see all the different ornaments that we have. Each of the boys have their own growing collection and then we have mine from when I was a kid. We finished off the evening with candy cane cookies and hot cocoa--YUM!
