Santa

We went back to Cougar Mountain Zoo to see Santa and his reindeer again. I think everyone had a great time, and I love that Avery continues this tradition with us. Layla had a four-page list to show Santa, and we all enjoyed seeing the animals around the zoo. Glad we got a nice day for it!
 

The birds were a new addition we’d never seen there before

November

Here’s what we were up to in November. Our friends, the Shepards, moved to St. Louis.  Their son, Reid, invited Silas to a Kracken game with him before they left and we attended a going away party for them.

This season of cross country didn’t turn out like Avery had hoped, but he walked away with a few awards and posters.

Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Pullman again this year. With Grammy and Papa living there now, it was nice being able to divide nights and meals between their home and Scott & Manivanh’s. The Avery’s of Newport Beach came up to celebrate with us. It was so nice having everyone together for the holiday.

Halloween

Here’s all our pics from Halloween and the events leading up to it! We went back to Muddy Boots Pumpkin Patch to do the corn maze with the youngest three.

Jonathan and I went to a Halloween party at our friends house. The theme was dead celebrities. Jonathan’s costume turned out better than mine. He’s Patrick Swayze from the SNL Chippendales skit and I’m Farah Fawcett.
