NOVEMBER in a POST

I am so sad that all of my great November and Thanksgiving pictures have been destroyed due to a corrupt SD card! My house was so smartly decorated in fall and I was proud of it. I never learn, whenever I am prideful something always breaks or gets destroyed or happens, and yet again another reminder why NOT to be proud.
So let me share with you how beautiful the month of November has been for us! We continue to be blessed with rich blessings from above. It is a testimony that God will answer prayers and abundantly bless in his own time and at times our trials may prolong because their are great lessons to learn. This time last year things were still drastically different for us. We were thankful but heavy hearted.
This year we celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with 7 families bringing our total to 30 people! It was so much fun and everyone brought their families traditional side dishes and desserts. Mr. Incredible deep fried a turkey for our first time and it was magnificent and super moist and QUICK! We also weren't sure how that would turkey would turn out so we baked one in the oven to be on the safe side! We had 4 tables set up to accomodate our friends and each of the tables were set with china and crystal and silver, the children's table had plastic and paperware but they had cute cute plastic fluted champagne glasses so that we all could give a good toast with our non alcoholic champagne!
It snowed that day and was a beautiful white Thanksgiving but was super cold and nasty out that it post poned our annual Thanksgiving pictures!

After experiencing a turkey and pie induced coma we broke out the karaoke and rocked the night away! We started our party at 1pm and we said good night to our guests at 11pm! PHEW, what an enjoyable day!

The day after Thanksgiving the Mr spent 8 hours in service for a family putting down wood floors and cleaning out nasty stuff. I joined him a few hours later and ended my service with 6 hours of goodness. No shopping for us! Which was the first time ever, but with Beauty being old enough to drive she brought them to the mall and did some shopping and shopping they did!

Our missionary continues to love serving and is so amazing. I miss him so much! He has had his first baptism which is great! He's been out since September and challenging everyone and serving to his fullest capacity!
I have been super busy, I feel like I'm in a tornado and just being tossed from one HAVE to, to another. I'm starting to get overwhelmed but I know after the holidays things will settle!
