It's seemed with my baby starting pre-k this year, time is going by at an even faster pace than normal. Our hours, days, weeks, and months are flying by. It's been over a month since I last posted, and I'm still wondering where the time has gone. So, what's been going on in our home for the last month you ask....a whole lot of everything. Tim's been hunting, we've been taking in these beautiful sunsets, Tessa has had class parties and fun field trips, we attended a hospital banquet honoring my mom and her thirty years in O.B., the girls have been playing in snow, we celebrated my step mom's birthday, and hosted Thanksgiving this year. whew! So, needless to say, November has been a month packed full of busyness. We are thankful for every minute of it. Speaking of being thankful, the reasons we have to be thankful this year, and every year for that matter, are endless. Tim and I could spend days writing about everything we are thankful for. Even when times are hard, and we don't understand why certain things happen, Tim and I still manage to find ourselves thankful. I guess its because we know that as long as we are alive and breathing, God has a purpose for us to fulfill. That gives us hope and a reason to be thankful for everything.

Fun treats Tess and I made for her class "Spider Party"
Here we are at my mom's awards banquet. Congrats mom!
Here's the family gearing up for a little pre-Thanksgiving dinner flag football.
For Thanksgiving this year, Tessa made little Christmas ornament place settings for everyone. She colored them, glued little eyes on them, and laid each one by a wine glass all by herself. She was very proud of her accomplishment and so was her mama.
With the end of Thanksgiving dinner, marks the official beginning of the Christmas season.....
It's been a few years since we've cut down our own Christmas tree. I had almost forgotten just how much fun it really is. We got the girls and ourselves all bundled up, brought along hot cocoa, and set out to find the "perfect tree". Tim and I decided that we're making this a Bryan family tradition from here on out!
Our nightly routine with the girls....sitting by the fire, reading a Christmas story, and opening a door on the advent calendar.
