Family Thanksgiving by John Lee

There is no place like Nana and Papa's. Especially at Thanksgiving. We had lots of family to play with...
...and lots of yummy food to eat!
The kids table was packed and lots of fun!

Cousin Kenley hung out with us for awhile.
Then we had games with the Orcutt crew! So much fun.
I played outside...
...Daddy had me check all the holes in the tree for monsters.
We had a great time playing ping pong in the garage.

And spending time with Aunt Judy.

We had presents to take home, but it was so much fun all day, we were worn out! Denny couldn't stay awake.
The tired from a good day with family is the best kind of tired!

Fun with Jeff and Emily by Denny Lynn

We always love to see Uncle Jeff and Emily when we can! I even got them to play games at Nana and Papa's house. It was so fun!
They brought us Christmas presents and Mama said we could open them early. Woo-Hoo! New barns with animals and everything.
Mine is a dairy. And new tractors from Uncle Jeff's work!
Some assembly was required, so we kept Jeff and Emily busy. There is nothing better than time with family.
Uncle Jeff got to hang out with us on Friday and we were so glad he took the time to be with us!
He also took us for rides on the four-wheeler at Papa's house. It was crazy and we loved it!

I wish we could see Uncle Jeff everyday!

Circus Time with Jasper by Deny Lynn

Yea for the circus! We were lucky this year that while we were in Oklahoma the circus was in town and we got to go with Jasper! We had cotton candy and popcorn and too much fun!
They had tigers and camels that did acts. Our favorite was the performing poodles, but we liked the elephants, too.


We got to get up close to some of the animals.
We were amazed by the dirt bike riders in the sphere and the acrobats.
After the circus we all went to dinner. I loved the circus, but mostly I liked hanging out with Jasper.

Travelling by John Lee

November means Thanksgiving and a trip to Oklahoma! We were ready for a break. Mama found us these fun new headphones for the trip!

We headed off on our adventure. We spent some time in Easter New Mexico for Daddy to check out the horse sale.
It started snowing that night and we were super excited!
Actually, it kept snowing all night! This is in front of our hotel. It was really cold!

This is a picture of the rest area we usually stop at - no running and playing this year!
One of our favorite things about travelling is staying in the hotels.
Especially, hotels with pools!

With the cold weather this year we spent a lot of time in the hot tub!

It is hard to beat pool time with the family...
...and a comfy bed.

Beds are for sleeping and for watching TV!
We also like getting to pick our breakfast. I ate a cinnamon roll everyday!

Our last hotel in Amarillo had this cool waterfall in the lobby - it changes colors with the lights.
Travel time is family time and that is the best time!!

November 4-H Meeting by Denny Lynn

4-H comes around every month and I love it! In November we had a special guest - Lawrence came and brought his rabbits. He taught us about taking care of them and showing them.
John and I both really liked them!

I kept getting back in line to pet them.
Then we learned about archery and got to decorate the bows Justin made for us.
It was really fun and I learned lots about the projects you can do. I can't wait to do more 4-H!
