November: In Review

We added some art supplies to our little basement/work stations.

 Genevieve turned two and had this cake.

 Sophie and Gen taught Henry how to "play"

Our chicks grew up.

 Sophie and John Paul had a little private dining.

We spent Thanksgiving at the cabin.

 While there, we cut down our Christmas tree!

As soon as we got home, my friend from Houston (and post-college roommate) brought her family by for a few hours!

And, finally, I made the kids take a matching photo...little did I know, Henry had a dirty diaper, and it didn't really work out like I had hoped!  Ha!

October: In Review

Oh October...the busiest month.  But also such a good one.  

We gathered the cattle to wean the calves.

This little guy just got cuter...and ached to be as big as his crazy brothers.

We learned that hand pies are much more fun (and easier!) than traditional pies.

The boys did a little knife trading.

We shipped our calves.

And, tried to kill a tree.

This sweet boy turned six...

 And he requested red velvet cake and dinner at a restaurant.

We learned about primary colors...

...and about the saints, too!

And, we tried to make a version of apple cider doughnuts.  I'm guessing the real ones taste MUCH better!

My friend made me a slice a this delicious cake a few weeks ago, so after telling everyone how amazing it was, I made one myself!  I've had fun this fall with a few birthday cakes too (here, here and here).  All are delicious!

I can't decide between this or this for breakfast on Christmas.

I'm living in these jeans. 

I can't get enough of this Christmas album.

I can't remember who recommended this book, and I'm only a few chapters in, but so far, so good!

I love these swords for the boys.

Sophie said she needs this kit.

I cannot wait for this Bible.

Have the best Wednesday!
