Ten Things to Smile About in November

1. Awards for both kids at school and amazing parents teacher conferences for both.

Lucas and I after assembly where he got Principle's Honor Roll

2. Seeing my niece perform in the Nutcracker ballet.  She has been in it several years now, but this year was by far the biggest roles she has had.

3.  Alex's soccer team ending the season undefeated!  It was such a great team.

4. Getting our family pictures!  Love this picture of Eric and I (see the rest here)

5. My girl- turning 8, choosing to get baptized (this Saturday) and just for the girl she is.  Even if she is  so loud I sometimes can't hear myself talk.  (See more pictures from this shoot here)

6. Destruction night at the Derby!

7. Photography stuff- good shoots, good clients, and being able to see Lourie a second time this month because of a photo shoot.

8.   My parents being in town to visit, even if they do beat Eric and I at cards way too often.

9. Thanksgiving!  We had Thanksgiving Dinner at my sister's, they totally did all the work (only asked us to bring drinks).  The meal was wonderful and we always have fun together.

10. Getting Christmas set up!  We always wait until after Thanksgiving, but the day after (on Alex's birthday) we got it all done!
