November Misc.

Here are a few more pictures from November:

Oliver  being such a cute lap boy to Mike and me

Juno has her cuddly moments too

You have to keep a close eye on your lunch...

The ornamental pear tree in the front yard had brilliant fall colors this year


Christmas came early for these two boys - since Juno inherited our other cat tree, we got a new one that the boys can use. They love it!





The Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine was approved for the 5-11 age group this month! Sam was able to get his first dose on Nov. 6

Dorie loves fall walks

I was able to go on a field trip with Ev's orchestra class as a chaperone. We went to a performance by the Utah Symphony.

A beautiful full rainbow!


Oh November ðŸ™„

Animal Crossing came out with a big new update, and a new DLC called Happy Home Paradise! We have been enjoying them very much!

Sam's class did a unit on Ancient Egypt. Here are a couple of projects they did - a funerary mask, and a cartouche

For an assignment for her English class, Ev had to make a 24-second long video about herself

John had his Junior Clarinet Recital at BYU, and it was amazing! 

An animal report Sam did with a classmate

Max trying to give a subtle hint of what he wanted (and when that didn't work he resorted to relentless meowing)

I was playing with Juno, and got a picture of her just-about-to-pounce eyes

One of the new items in the Animal Crossing update is this cookie, that is shaped like Brewster the pigeon. 

Nora found 3D print file that someone had made for a Brewster cookie cutter, which we were able to print on the 3D printer, and then she made her own cookies.

We decorated the tree and put up the rest of the Christmas decorations

What Sam was doing during this time...

Getting a few pics with the decorations



This is a picture that V drew, and I really liked it

Nora had preordered a figurine from one of her favorite YouTubers a while ago (Jaiden Animations), and it finally came!

Nora made an apple pie. It was delicious!


Sam got his second vaccine dose on Nov. 29. Woo hoo!

Thanksgiving

We had a really nice Thanksgiving at my parents' house 


The kids playing some Taco-Cat-Goat-Cheese-Pizza

Monty thought it looked fun, so we played a special version with him

Cute V had made place cards for everyone, with our name written in our favorite color

Yummy food!



V had made this fun craft at school, and wanted to share the idea with all of us - making a Thankful bracelet, where the different colors of beads represent different things you are grateful for

Making some bracelets




For dessert, we had the choice of pumpkin or pecan pie made by Grandpop!

Sam with his pie just how he likes it, hehe

Monty was also very excited about the whipped cream

Spending some time with the kitties - Agnes and Trudy

Agnes gives great cuddles, and blends in with Sam's pants

Trudy wanted to PLAY!



Putting up the Christmas tree is a lot easier with several helpers


For our "movie" we watched "Olaf Presents" - which is 5 shorts in which Olaf retells a classic Disney story. They are very funny!

This is from the Little Mermaid one


Trudy getting some cuddle time with Kate

Back at home with Dorie


Happy Thanksgiving!
