November 2016

A lot happened in November, but if feels like it was such a long time ago now, and I really can't remember it all.  Here are the highlights - in pictures, of course:)

A morning tea party with Liv while Kate was at school and Will was napping.



We got to visit Maddie in the hospital at U of M after her heart surgery.  She was such a champ through surgery and recovery and is a super strong little lady.  She's going to be another tough Pridgeon:)


Uncle Andy was in Holland for a preaching festival, and we snagged him for lunch at Donkey Taqueria.  So yummy!


This isn't really a highlight, but my grandpa passed away on November 4.  He was at home, with my grandma, and died peacefully.  His service was fairly private and small, but very meaningful.  The photos are from his funeral and luncheon.



The only good thing was that we got extra time with family while they were home for the funeral

Silly Olivia with her owl mask.


The girls collected flowers (actually weeds) out back on one of our last nice days of the fall.  Can't believe they were wearing short sleeves in November!




These two were 100% ready for the snow.  They got all their stuff on as soon as it started coming down and went out to catch - and eat - as many snowflakes as they could:)



do you like my glasses?
Will is practicing for a future in farming:)

glow stick dance party!
We spent Thanksgiving at the farm this year.  Will was a hit with Gracie and also got to meet Great Grandma Gloria for the first time.  



Our washing machine broke just before Thanksgiving, and our new one was delivered the weekend after.  Kate and Liv (and uncle Adam) made the box into a sweet rocket ship.

Halloween 2016

Kate decided to dress up as a cat this year, so we went on a fun trip to Hobby Lobby to get the stuff to make her a fuzzy tail, pointy ears, and paws.  She was super cute:) 

I had pretty much talked Olivia into being Tinkerbell, but of course, if Kate was going to be a cat, Liv wanted to be a cat too.

Trick or treat time!
