November was a fun month full of beautiful weather and lots of time with family. We kicked off the month with a trip to the movies to see Trolls, we ALL loved it!
Patrick surprised me BIG time this year for my birthday! I thought we were meeting one couple out for dinner and I walked in to find all my friends there waiting to celebrate me. Patrick knows what I love and it was the best present he could have given me. These people really fill me up.
This guy, I love him.
The next day I met a girlfriend for paddle board yoga and our for brunch, SO FUN!!
We had a friend's birthday party at the train park so the girls and I went and enjoyed the day.
Aunt Laura had us over for a big fall celebration dinner complete with bobbing for apples......needless to say it was a REALLY fun and WET night!
suns out guns out for apples
Patrick went ALL in
Laura and Patrick and Smokey took me out to dinner on my actually birthday night to a fun southern spot.
Our nephew James was in the state playoffs in Northern Arizona and thanks to some great friends with a vacation home right around the corner from the fields we spent the weekend enjoying time as a family, enjoying the cold weather, and cheering on Yuma Catholic.
Saturday morning we headed to the lake to feed the ducks and play at the park
fun on the bridge
Saturday everyone arrived in time for us to host a big chili dinner before we headed to the game

it was FREEZING!!!!!!!! we were prepared, but still were ice cubes by the end of the game!

Uncle Michael helped Coop get all situated for his serious cheering

They unfortunately lost in a tearjerker, but it was fun to be there to see him play in his last high school game.
