November is a busy, exciting month. Tammy, Brian and the children come for Thanksgiving, a tradition that started the year we moved to California. We look forward to their visit all year.

I enjoy and collect hats. This year each of the children and, Tammy chose a hat to wear for pictures to hang in my 'hat' room. They had fun choosing a hat, below are some of the pictures we took.

We exchange Christmas gifts the day after Thanksgiving so we can enjoy watching the kids (and yes the adults) open their gifts. If the smiles are an indication of our choosing the right gift, we must have done ok!
