November started in the cold and dark, surviving 8 days without power. Judah's 5-year-old birthday party was post-poned (who wants a party in the dark?), and instead, we headed to a pizza place and bowling alley for a few hours of light and fellowship...

Jacob giving Judah his birthday present- more LEGOS! YEAH!
The lights and power did finally come back on, and we did have Judah's party, but that will be another post...
In November we celebrate both grandparents' birthdays. Here's Grandpa reading Isaiah's boy-made card...
...and here's Hannah at the restuarant, affectionately holding her baby...
...with personality...
In November we studied the early American colonists and the Revolutionary War...
...so we commonly heard around the house,
"The British are coming!"
"Shoot the Red-coats!"
"You be General George Washington and Mommy & Hannah are the British..."
"Mom, are we British or English? We must be English because we speak English, right?"
(sigh) What is it about fighting that attracts boys?
During Thanksgiving week we focused more on the first Thanksgiving. Once project was to make your own 'Indian vest'. Here are the smiling Indians...
...and 'the-trying-so-hard-to-look-solemn' version...
Thanksgiving Day is probably our family's favority holiday (well, perhaps 2nd to Memorial Day's parade), but I'll add more pictures in another post...
November was also learning about the Declaration of Independence and an activity of trying to write using a quill pen...
...and berry ink...
I think we have a new appreciation for pens and pencils...
November was also a red-nosed little girl. She fell, received a bad rug burn and took a long time to heal...
