Nov

The first day of November was a Saturday, Ryan suggested we go up to Knights Ferry. So, I actually remembered to take the tripod this time and we got some good pictures. It was a gorgeous overcast day too, perfect. There were salmon spawning and we took a good hike. The best thing to do after a night of trick or treating. The kids brought their backpacks and filled them with their candy and munched the whole day. And we got a good enough picture for our Christmas letter. So, that was out of the way and done in enough time. That was also the month Joshua earned his Wolf. I wanted him to just get it, especially since I was his den leader. So, he worked hard and it only took him a month, since one of the requirements had a month long timeline. Then there was also Thanksgiving to celebrate. I love that time of year. My favorite day of all is the day after Thanksgiving when my mom and sisters and I get up really early and shop. I was afraid that this year wasn't going to happen but my oldest sister, Francine talked her family into making the trip from Reno on down. So, it was a great day. And then we had Christmas to be excited about. I love the holidays and I'm still a little depressed that they are over. But, November was a good month, or so I think.
