November Happenings

Brian's Birthday

We started off November celebrating Brian's birthday.  No milestone but a nice evening out as a family to honor this awesome Dad and Husband.  He chose Patricks here in St. Peter for his restaurant and we closed the night with his favorite pie, Blueberry.  Well he had that kind and the girls and I had Reese Peanut Butter Cup pie.  :)

John Ireland Prayer

Rachel and Natalie both hosted prayer at JI in the month of November.  It is quite the job for the teachers to come up with new and thoughtful prayer skits, but they've never disappointed.  Both girls love to lead prayer with their classes and both see to enjoy JI in general.  

Tennis 2015

Caitlin and Emily celebrated a pretty successful tennis season with the end of the year banquet.  Even though the tennis program isn't the most prestigious sport to play in St. Peter I think they have the best girls to play with and be lead by.  We know quite a few of the varsity players outside of tennis and they are a stand up group of girls.  So glad Emily and Caitlin have such good role models.

4-Eyes

Then this happened!  This girl got glasses!  It seems as though she may be following in mine and Caitlin's footsteps.  We both got glasses in 4th grade too!  She is a cute kid, but look at her now!  Even cuter!

Thanksgiving in Fargo

We traveled to Fargo the week before Thanksgiving to my sister's house for a fun over nighter to celebrate Jackson's birthday and Moore Thanksgiving.  We were able to capture a few pictures of the cousins together despite forcing them to cooperate in single digit temperatures outside.  After the "photo session" we took the kids over to SkyZone to wear them out a bit and burn a few calories before gorging ourselves on a Thanksgiving meal.  The kids had a blast!  It was fun to watch them together-a rarity since our schedules and locations get in the way of spending time with one another.

Our Thanksgiving/Salfer Thanksgiving

Even though I didn't capture any photos, we did have a nice Thanksgiving meal together at our house with Brian's parents on Thanksgiving day and then another meal with the whole Salfer clan, minus Sharon and her family,  the weekend after Thanksgiving.  We are very thankful for the delicious food and desserts but even more thankful for our families and that we can all be together on one of my most favorite holidays.  We are truly blessed.....
