2011 Review Extravaganza Part 4

Are you ready to see how this year ended for us? Don't forget to link up with one of the great hosts listed above!
Now for October, November and December!
October
October was a busy month. We tried our very best to get out of the house so we wouldn't annoy our neighbor. (FAIL!) But it was fun to do things as a family! First off, our very first corn maze as a family (Steve's first one too!!) and pumpkin patch!

I went to my first meeting to at the school for the parents club, as the VP. At the meeting, my brother called and said he was in town. I picked him up after wards. It was great to catch up! Plus, he sprang for a VooDoo midnight trip!

We were having such a mild fall, we went to the zoo half way through the month. It was fun, and EVERYONE was there!

The went to another pumpkin patch and corn maze. It was a lot of fun! And we were able to get pumpkins this time around.

After being yelled at by our neighbor (who, thanks to her, we started looking for homes to rent in Vancouver) I thought it would be fun to make a fort with the kids and watch some movies!

The weekend before Halloween, we finally carved the pumpkins!

Halloween came, and we thought it would be fun and have the kids dress up as Star Wars! Plus...and hamburger!

November

November went by FAST! We applied to rent a new home. We got lots of help from friends and family, and we got the place! But we had to move quickly. I had the cops called on me twice by the nasty lady downstairs. I packed up the apartment in under a week (with lots more help) and we moved the heck out of doge! We were in our new place for a few days, and off we went to Idaho for Thanksgiving! We stayed with my brother, played lots of games and had a blast! Oh and Jake turned 7 on Thanksgiving Day!!

We came home and finished unpacking just in time for the holiday season! And the kids started their new school (all day kinder for Zo!) and they LOVE it!!

December

December has been a GREAT month! All the crap that happened with that lady the last few months, has NOTHING on living in our new HOME!

Dexter started sitting up a few days after he turned 6 months old!

We settled into our new home, ward and school. I made some new friends. Went to a book club meeting and said I would hosts next months! As a family, we made gingerbread houses!

On the last day of school, Zoe said she wanted to get her hair cut. So I took her to a place, and she cut her hair!

My parents came up for Christmas. We were blessed to be able to give our kids a great Christmas (and ourselves too). They left on Boxing day. We were all sad to see them go.

This year has been had a lot of good, and some very loud bad. But the bad wasn't that bad. We had a lot of great things happen and we have been very blessed this year! 2011, all in all, has been a good one too us! Let's hope more of the same in 2012!

Happy New Year!!
