This is Kristie. Texas is so cold!!!! The high was 34 today.  It's really fun, because it feels like Idaho, but we were hoping for warmer weather for our week off!  We were planning on jacket weather tomorrow so we could go to Six Flags.  We might have to find something fun to do indoors:)  

Most of these pictures are of Maddie. A few weeks ago,  I took her on an overnight shopping trip about 45 minutes away at an amazing mall.  We had a great time.  She was so excited to go, that when she saw me pull up to the school to pick her up…she started running and fell on a ledge.  Twisted her ankle hard!!  It made the whole trip an adventure!  We stopped at Target for a wrap and some frozen peas to ice it and headed out!  She was swollen and hurting pretty bad, we barely made it up to the hotel room.  So we found crutches at a CVS and used those for a night. We went to a dine in theatre and saw "Gravity"

 The crutches and luggage rack worked great for the movie night, but shopping just wasn't going to happen…crutches are hard!  So we looked it up and sure enough, the mall had free wheelchairs.  Maddie has NEVER lasted that long shopping.  We had so much fun!!!!  This picture above is my favorite.  She got to spend as much time as she wanted in a book store.  It was the larger portion of the day!

 New coat and scarf!  And a hands on tutorial with a curling iron!

 She is a "Who-vian" through and through.  This window display is all Doctor Who stuff.  She was insanely excited!

 This is a picture of our land. The sale was final a few weeks ago and we're finalizing house plans now.  We're excited! Our property ends at those trees.  There's a field behind it with cows which we're super excited about.  Also, we can see the church from our backyard!  yay!

                                    The brothers relaxing after school in our breakfast nook with a couch:)

 Just a "little" snake skin Isaac discovered in our front yard bushes.  It was still soft….. and Clara found a smaller snake

Now it's dark when we go to piano lessons, but our park has lots of floodlights so as long as someone else is there playing (because I'm chicken) we stop and play anyway!  

 Nori and her friend at the 1st grade Thanksgiving Feast!

My cute little sister who is pregnant with a baby girl:)  She came with her husband for 2 nights while he interviewed at Baylor Dental school in Dallas.  I loved spending time with her

Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We are so sad to miss out on the Clarkston Feast.  I just found the picture of all the girls in aprons in Aleisa's kitchen from the last one spent there..7 years ago! It was so much fun!  Love you all!
