Thanksgiving

Thursday morning all the girls got up and worked out with Whitney's Iranian trainer.

 We cooked and baked and ate Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, veggies, and pies galore.

Nap time for Jake and June.

 We got a picture of the family that was there, missing Collette and 2 of Justin's children.

 Talking with Jeff and Phoebe's family.

 George with grandpa's hat.

 Time to go, can't wait until we can all get together again.

 Picture before Alan's brother and family left.

We tried Trader Joe's caramel chocolate taste test, yum!

Middle of November

 We babysat Whitney's 3 little boys and George loved putting on Alan's shoes and trying to walk in them.

Debi, Rhonda, and I got together and shopped and made chocolate mint cookies, thanks for the recipe Debi!

 It was so much fun to clean out the fridge and just talk, love you sisters!

 Busy with Arthur and George.

 We helped put up their 10 foot Christmas tree.

 Singing Snoopy's Christmas to Arthur.

 Watching 'Savior of the World' performance at the conference center.

Ron Brallier played Zacharias and Thaddeus and gave us the tickets to the dress rehearsal, we loved it!

 The scene of Christ's birth.

We ate at Panda Express in Orem and ran into one of our missionaries from our Coban Guatemala mission, Elder Erick Acosta. What a small world.

We ate taquitos and Guatemalan stew at the house of Noe Garrido. It was wonderful meeting his family and talking about Fray Bartolome, how it has grown, and our hopes for the branch there.

1st week of November

 Playing outside with June while her sisters are in school.

 Baylee's baptism day, November 3rd.

June was excited that Baylee went under the water and plugged her nose and was telling everyone about it.

 We went to Chad's new Chiropratic office he is building in front of this old barn.

 Grammy sent a 100 piece puzzle for Theo to put together.

We spent the day with Justin's family and ended it by eating in Heber City at Burger Keen.

Halloween

 We went to downtown Prosser and went trick or treating to all the businesses.

 Lots of people, but it was a fun time.

 Peppa pig, injured person, hogwarts player, and Japanese girl all got lots of candy.

 Handing candy out at the ward trunk or treat.

Whitney's family were from Paddington.

The end of October

 We went back to Portland and stayed with the Jarvis family and Hollenzer family. We went to the Salt and Straw for ice cream with Salli and Ken. It was very yummy ice cream with some weird variations on the normal ice cream we get.

We tried the chocolate covered crickets and mealworms and they were very good. They also took us to get ice cream in Beaverton at Handels, which was very good too.

 On our way home from downtown Portland we saw this house all decorated for Halloween.

 We ate at Gin Thai with the Hollenzers, Stockhoffs, and Jarvis's.

 We then played hand and foot and the guys beat the girls by a long way.

Sunday after church we headed back to Ashleigh and Chad's in WA. We hit rain, snow, sleet, rainbows, and sun.

 Meanwhile, back in our last area of Fray, we had 2 baptisms.

These two cousins want to serve missions after they have been members for a year. How exciting and what a blessing to them and the branch!

 Baylee had her 8th birthday and we dropped donuts off for her class during lunch.

That evening we had family home evening and celebrated her birthday with Thornock and Call granparents in attendance.

Happy birthday dear Baylee!
