Well, November has been great. We had several noteworthy events, but mostly just good family fun. We have been using our new passes at Trafalga - fun for a couple of hours on a Saturday!
Carson has earned his yellow belt! He started in August, and has been pretty dedicated to practicing. We are proud of his progress. He now gets to be in the same class as his friend, yea!
We had a fun family adventure - Layton Surf-n-Swim with the whole Iverson clan. Weeze and family we love you!
We also went to the new children's exhibit at the church history museum with the Halls. That turned out to be more adventure than we bargained for. Graham got lost - and their were about 20 people searching for him. We looked for over 10 minutes (no idea exactly how long, it seemed like an eternity). No sign. I was starting to get pretty scared. Finally, someone followed a prompting to look on the elevator. Sure enough, he was locked inside with the doors closed. What an elevator ride, we were all so relieved!
Thanksgiving was wonderful. We hosted my sister's family and the Iverson parents. Here are the kids enjoying their turkey dinner! We had a wonderful day - very low key and good company.
Now it is Christmas time!
Well, it was a fun December - parties, santa and presents. We are grateful to be able to fill our lives with 4 kids who are so excited for Christmas. We had so many countdowns, service charts, secret santas, and more planned by our kids during the season. It was fun to share their excitement. Chad always 
does a daddy date and takes each kid Christmas shopping and to do a fun activity. It is one of our highlights to see what they buy for each other. It is all so cute.
Anyway, we have enjoyed a little winter swimming, a trip to the new Natural History Museum of Utah, Kate's dance day, class parties, and fun family parties.
Christmas was pretty magical. Santa was able to fulfill most of the kids wishes, and that was really fun! Anyway, it is hard to believe that another year is drawing to a close. I am just really grateful for this time I have to be a mom to these wonderful kids!
