Well, as we are now in the last day of November. I'll attempt to recount alllllllll the stuff we have done in the last month. I guess I'll start with the last weekend in October. Samantha and I went up to Camp Fairwood to work for the teen retreat. That was a lot of fun! On the 2nd Laurel celebrated her 6th birthday! That week we made apple sauce. I think we made about 2o some gallons of it. Then next weekend our whole family went to a different camp about 4 hours north of us for a Creation conference with Buddy Davis. The camp was in a big beautiful valley. Then November 12-14 Samantha and I went up with Miss Hannah to the scrapbooking retreat at camp. Kaila was also there working, too. Then the 20th, my mom, Samantha, Emily, Lillian, and I went to spend the night at our friends house! That was sooooo fun!!! =D That Sunday we had a Thanksgiving service at our church. This past week my dad was off. Last Monday us older girls went to our friends house for a Thanksgiving meal. A bunch of our other friends were there too! On Thanksgiving we had a nice meal and later pie. It also snowed and stuck for the first time!!! It melted by lunch but it was still fun! Friday my dad got up real early to get some deals at a few stores. Then we all went to a tree farm to pick out our Christmas tree! After about 2 hours we finally picked one. Then we came home and started to decorate. Saturday and Sunday we finished up decorating. Today it was back to school for us.

Lillian is eating more foods, saying more foods, learning to stand by herself, and smiling a lot! She also pretends to talk on the phone. Samantha has been driving some more and getting better and closer to getting her licence!

Now we are anxiously awaiting more snow! And the Christmas season! The Christmas season is a great reminder of why we are here. To glorify God and enjoy him forever! That should be our main goal for our life. Let us remember why we celebrate Christmas this season.

Luke 2:11-14(NKJV)

For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:“ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
