The girls are back in swimming again, and they had their first meet of the year. All three girls bested multiple top times, so they're definitely progressing.
For my birthday, the girls made Oreo infused cupcakes for me to share with my classes.
When we arrived at Karl and Jolene's house on the evening of my birthday, they had a cake ready and waiting for me.
And some balloons...
The girls had a blast all weekend playing with their cousins.
On Thanksgiving day, we had a few more join us. Here is Eden enjoying the play area.
Eden and Trevor wanted to help make Thanksgiving dinner, so Joanne had them help make the rolls.
Calista helped by keeping Zachary company.
We had an excellent Thanksgiving feast. There were 20 of us in all for dinner Thursday evening.
Emily enjoyed the basketball hoop in the driveway. The weather was excellent up until Saturday, so we played outside a lot.

The adjustable hoop height helped Emily work on her shot.
Baby Dax loved all the attention he got from his cousins.
Joanne looked outside one day and thought maybe she was witnessing the council of elders or something...
On Friday night, there was a beautiful sunset. It turned out that it was a precursor to strong winds and cold air that night and the next day.
After five days with family, it was time to come home. We hit some snow in the mountains between Cumberland and Frostburg in Maryland, but we slowed down, avoided the numerous accidents we saw, and made it home late Saturday night. It was an excellent Thanksgiving week and we were glad to have spent it with family.
