A November in Limbo

Parker with a turkey that he made in preschool for Thanksgiving.

So originally we were supposed to be in our house by Halloween. We figured it would take longer, and sure enough they weren't ready. All through November they kept giving us "2 weeks" over and over. So our two to three weeks at Josh's parents continued all through November. We adjusted to taking the kids to school an extra 20 minutes further. Luckily, Josh's parents were able to help us by taking Isaac as all three kids are in different schools.

For Thanksgiving it was our year to spend it with Josh's family, but they ended up having the Chappell Family Reunion on Thanksgiving down in Lyman! So we did that instead and headed down south for Thanksgiving. It was a nice reunion, and I think Josh enjoyed seeing all his relatives that came.

We stayed with my parents, and the next day Josh and I went to Richfield on Black Friday just for fun. We had most of our Christmas shopping done, but were able to find a few little things that we needed and it was fun to get out and spend some time together while my mom watched the kids.

That Saturday we went out to the mountain to get our Christmas trees. Josh and I were excited because we we have a really tall ceiling in our living room at the new house and we wanted to get a nice tall tree. At this point we again thought we would be in within two weeks. Anyway, we got a nice tree, and headed back home. I totally forgot my camera, so had no pictures of the weekend or tree hunting at all! :(

So our November was spent in Elk Ridge living out of boxes, basically waiting for our house to be finished!
