November

I made my delicious raspberry pie for some reason--can't remember why, but it deserves to be documented.

I loved playing racquetball with Emily! We joked abut how we were just at the start of a very inspiring racquetball career.

Doug and I got a temple date! The Seattle temple was closed, so we went to the Portland temple. So pretty.

We had some amazing food afterward.

I voted:)

Lucy made this masterpiece out of playdoh. Such a good artist!

I think this was for red, white, and blue day. So awesome.

One of our many preschool outings to go see Quasimodo the emu. I wish we could bring Roman's family to live here by us.

Brookie's goal was to win three marathon medals during the school year. She got really close to earning her second before we moved. This was the day she earned her first.

I made Mom's delicious cinnamon rolls for Thanksgiving at Emily Olson's house.

And we put together a 5k run for the ward. It was so fun! Lucy and Brooklyn helped me create prizes.

Here was our inviation. I did this with Amy Lystad, my wonderful friend from the Olympia 1st ward who I walked with at least once a week, even in the snow.

Lucy on race day as we grabbed the black Friday newspaper.

Cool fruit tray! I may want to do that next year.

I love how our living room looked for Christmas! We did this right after Thanksgiving so we could enjoy it for a long time.

Doug's "ugly sweater" utfit. The fireplace lights up. I hope he wears it this year as well.
