We have internet again! We found a better deal with another company that had previously said they could not service our house. But now we have it and it should be here to stay. Hopefully that means more consistent blogging now.
Here is some catch up of Thanksgiving. We headed to Elko so we could cut our tree and see Janessa and Cam since we wouldn't be seeing them for Christmas. Ben is great in his carseat, but not great at being in places he does not know. So it took him a while to warm up to everyone and he still is a mama's boy. That has to change once little brother comes!

| I made a turkey hat...but it was too small and I didn't feel like finishing the ear flaps. But he still thought it was fun |
 |
| He prefers his Buzz Lightyear hat. He wont take it off. |
 |
| mad because we want him to come out. He loves the bike. |

 |
| rare capture of Ben snuggling with Jamir. He usually wont. |
 |
| My peg doll nativity unpainted. I also didn't finish this craft. But what I did do turned out cute. Something for next year. And Ben really like to play with it. |

| We also let the quails go. There were only 3 left of the 7. Two died in the cage, one escaped and I can't remember what happened to the last one. They weren't laying anymore and we knew we were going to be gone for Christmas too. So we let them out. They lived for about an hour and then I saw feathers all over the yard. I don't know what happened, but I was glad I didn't see. |
