Dec? No, November Wrap Up!

Remember Cole and his bass?
Yes, he takes it to school on the bus.
I asked the bus driver if taking it on and off the bus was an issue and she stated, "Cole is so determined to do this, it's not a problem."  And he is! Cole has not made it anyone else's job to help him as he wants to do this alone.  Thank goodness we have a nice bus driver!

Oma and I got a weekend away...What?
Yes, the kids went to Rachelle & Connie's for the weekend and we headed to the coast for some time alone.
Here is where we watched the Ducks loose their second game of the season.  GREAT SEATS!
We never did see the actual beach but what we did do: ordered room service, geocached, hit a great candy store, gambled (Oma likes Spanish black jack now), went to a movie theater for an R rated movie, read books and yea, I guess that was about it.  VERY relaxing time thank you very much.

Private First Class Conkey!
Thanksgiving this year was at our home as Andrew wanted to come.
He flew in on Thanksgiving day so instead of having turkey we had steak and some home made apple crisp (Thank you Gma Marie) and celebrated Andrew's 21st Birthday.
As you see, we like to do things high class around here and he blew out a match to make a wish.

Andrew has tons of family around this area so some stopped by for a visit.
Gma Burel, Peggy, Randy, Julie and Andrew

Thanksgiving Meal!
I think this is the way your suppose to pose with a cooked turkey right?
Small bird as we had a small family gathered.
Todd/Corri/Derian visited for the morning and left Derian for the day so she actually ate two Thanksgiving meals this year.  Lucky girl!

A little post meal wrestling.
The three were still no match for Andrew.

Homework?
Thank goodness Andrew was here to help us all understand how to work one of Derian's math problems.

Civil War!
Andrew and Cole went to the Duck/Beaver game and had a VERY good time!
Cole, Andrew, Julie & Randy
Julie/Randy are seasoned game goers so they came to give the boys a ride.

Fan Cam
Go Ducks took a high resolution photo all the way around the stadium.
This is where Andrew and Cole were sitting.
See them?
Ok, how about now?
Not yet?  I'll zoom in for you.
Now?
Ok, I can see them now!  You?
They weren't quite sitting yet but here they are!
All decked out in green like they should be for this game and smiling!
Great seats too, only 8 rows from the bottom.

(Note to self, take a dang full family photo when Andrew visits next time)
I think this is the only one of the two of us.
I hope he comes back again soon.
It was awesome to have Andrew here.
Love to you all and Happy Thanksgiving!
