November and Thanksgiving

On the 50th day of school, Hazel had a 50s day, so we went up to see all the Kindergarteners dance out in front of the school.  I met Hazel's new best friend, Tina.  Cute little friends.


A few days later, they had a Kinder Fall music program.  



My friend Emily Dorman, who moved out east, came back to visit, so we had a fun girls' night.  


Fall is football time as well, so when the games aren't too late, we watch the BYU games with friends.  One of the times we had chili and s'mores at the Maloufs'.  Look at all the cute cougars!  




My last event as a Young Women leader was YW in Excellence.  I helped some with the decor, but my favorite thing was playing for some of the girls who sang, "Valiant Faith."  We performed it in church the next Sunday.  I sure will miss the girls.  


I felt like we were at Hazel's school a lot in November and December.  It was fun to stop by and put a smile on her face.  Around Thanksgiving, we went up to help with the Friendsgiving Feast in the kinder hallway.  We also went up for Thanksgiving lunch in the cafeteria.  




James agreed to do Movember again (they actually raise a lot of money for men's health by doing this), and I think his horseshoe stache was pretty good.  Unfortunately, it only won 2nd place with no prize.  


My parents headed to Waco for Thanksgiving, so the rest of the family tried to make it on the same day so we could have an early Thanksgiving together.  It was beautiful weather, and we enjoyed it outside at Magnolia Market.  This place is getting so popular because of Chip and Joanna from Fixer Upper.  




Love cousin time!


James stayed in Dallas, and the plan was to have Thanksgiving with the Palmers, so we drove back home on Thanksgiving Eve.  It was great to have time with both sides of the family for the holiday.  Tami and Kaye hosted Thanksgiving dinner, and they outdid themselves as usual. 


Both Jada and I got hand-me-down matching shirts, so they seemed like the perfect shirts to wear on Thanksgiving.  We are so so thankful for our many blessings!  


That weekend we put up our Christmas decorations, and Hazel and I went on a Mommy Daughter date to see Disney on Ice.  She loved it!  We thought our seats would be way up high, but they weren't, and we didn't even really need our binoculars.  Our favorite part was during the Tangled story when Flynn and Rapunzel were flying above the ice.
