Our November

Our November

After we finished painting, we started getting things hung back up on the walls.  Curtains, pictures, etc..  We bought these awesome blinds for the doors.  The blinds are inside the glass, and they fit right on an existing door.  So simple, and about 5 minutes to put up.  And we didn't have to put any holes, in the walls, or the doors.  I totally LOVE them!  And they sure are a lot less expensive than buying new doors :)

The pictures are hung... 

It's only snowed once really before Thanksgiving, where there has been enough snow for the girls to go outside and play in it.  They sure were excited!  I sure hope we get a LOT more snow this winter.  Like Tons Please!! :)

The girls were pretty neglected for quite a long time while we were painting the house.  So as a reward for being so good, until mom and dad finished, we took the girls out for a night at Chuck E Cheese.  They had a ball.

Bree had her first Choir concert.  4 Elementary schools in our area all performed at the High School, for the Layton City Park, Christmas Lighting Ceremony.  

At Bree's school, you have to be in 4th, 5th, or 6th grade to join the Choir, and only if you want to.

I was surprised how big the Choir is.  And just how good they are! 

It was wonderful.  

They will perform about 4 more times.  

This thursday, at the Festival of Tree's in SLC.  Can't wait to see that one.  

They perform different songs each time!

 Aunt Adelle, called and invited us to spend a morning at the Ogden TreeHouse Museum.  

It was really fun.  The kids ran around and played like crazy.  Basically wore me out.  

All the kids favorite, is a 50's boxcar diner!  It was seriously amazing.  The food so real, menu's and items all kid sized.  Super fun!

Ruby in the Doll Room.

Bree, Elle, and Libby, all took part in a small play.

Ruby got to use the computer like Mommy.

Playing School...

And then Thanksgiving came....

Pics are a little out of order, but oh well.

Turkey craft the kids made.

The fruit Turkey that Adelle made...

Our Belnap group this year.  

No Camber and Cory :(

It's the ward party!  No wait!  It's just "The Jorgensen Thanksgiving Bash!"

Two tables full of pies!

The house is all decked out for Christmas now.  

And since it was such a mess for so long, Chris and I decided to go all out, and get out as many of our decorations as possible.  I think it turned out fabulous!  

It's nice to be able to relax and enjoy the holidays :)

And our new paint!

Oh, I had to post a couple of pictures of my clean kitchen!  

I've had canning supplies for grapes, and paint supplies etc.. all over for so long.  

And now it's all finally cleaned up, and I have my kitchen back!
