November

We're still having some gorgeous weather--it's nice to be able to still go play at the park! 

Alex has a new desire to be the family photographer--Keith was a willing model, ready to jump into the frame as the flashes flashed! 

 Alex also decided to put the turkey and scarecrow back together for me--a little odd, but very cute! 

We let Alex help put ornaments on the tree--it is now 'his' tree. He loves to plug in the lights and find the bells.

He's getting better at picture taking--the first one he took. And then proof that he does smile--just not for everyone!

We are so excited to start this Christmas season--what a blessing to focus on gratitude and then on our Savior Jesus Christ--can't be more grateful for anything than our Savior! We're also looking forward to the end of this semester. It was definitely more busy than we expected going into it. It will be nice to have a break that doesn't involve a lot of catch up on homework.
