November 2017

November was a pretty quiet month for us. Most of the month was spent running between work, school, dance, soccer, and scouts. We did host our first Thanksgiving in the new house, but in truly shocking news, I did not take one picture of the event. But, we enjoyed hosting in our new space and were so glad to have the extra room this year.

Mason wrapped up fall soccer this month. We really enjoyed working with his coach this season so we decided Mason would play winter soccer with him as well. Check back for the January post to see how well that went.

The annual Mount Holly Christmas parade was the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. It ended up being 75 degrees outside that day, which was perfect, but very unusual for a Christmas parade.

The night after the parade, Mason announced that he had his first loose tooth. It almost took an act of Congress to get him to let us pull it but he finally caved when we told him either I pulled it or the dentist would pull it the next day at his appointment. He was quite excited to see that the Tooth Fairy visited the next morning and was proud to show off his new gap.

So, those were the highlights of November. It seemed pretty calm but thankfully it was the calm before the storm of the holidays, which in retrospect, was a very good thing.
