November

 5th grade is the year students at our school can start playing in orchestra, and Evan decided to give it a go.  We bought him a violin and he has really enjoyed it.  November was their first concert and he did great.  This is him and his buddies from our street just after they finished.  So fun to get to play with his friends.

 We hosted Stucki family Thanksgiving at our house and this year we actually remembered to take pictures:)

 Kid table

 Teenager end of the adult table.  We had so much fun with all of the cousins, aunts, and uncles.  We all got together several days in a row.

 In between family partying we ran out and bought our Christmas tree.

 Grace got glasses.  Turns out she is far sighted.  Poor girl has been complaining about not being able to read tiny words and we just thought she was lazy, but she really couldn't read it.  She loves the new glasses and just has to wear them when she feels like she needs them.

 One afternoon with the extended family in town we decided ot head out bowling.  Apparently the cousin excitement was wearing our kids out and Kyle passed out on Evan.  I thought it was so cute that Evan let him sleep cuddled up for the ride out.

 We lucked into cosmic bowling or something along those lines.  They had fun lights and music we all enjoyed singing to.
