November

The month started with unseasonably warm weather. Darren and the kids got outside one Saturday to finish raking leaves before the inevitable first snow (we knew it was right around the corner). I was out at the salon getting a manicure, pedicure, and haircut (a birthday treat from my mom!!) while they had fun playing in the leaves. Brynlee got an "owee" on her chin and decided she wanted to put her own BandAid on. Nice, eh? Tevin just sat and watched his silly sissy.

The warm weather stayed around through my birthday, which we celebrated with my dad at our house. Darren bought me a really delicious Raspberry Truffle cake from Cold Stone. I got some new winter boots, a new purse, and some "diamond" earrings from Darren and the kids. My dad sent me some beautiful flowers, and I got Starbucks from my brothers Trent, Logan, and Ryan and more from my friend Eva! Randy and Sandy and Mike and Helen sent me cards with cash so I'll be headed to the mall soon for even more new digs. Thanks everyone for making this a fun birthday!

Snow finally arrived on Friday the 14th. I took this picture when the ground was finally covered, only to watch it continue to snow and snow! By the time it was done, I think we had nearly 3 inches! Of course, two days later, it's 65 degrees out and sunny. Such is "Fall" in Colorado!
