November Happenings

Darwin and I have been really trying to make the effort to have some fun quality time with the girls on the weekends because we're working a lot and pretty busy during the week days. Not that we don't spend time with them during the week, but we make extra efforts to spend time together as a family on the weekends.  One of our favorite things to do as a family is a Friday night movie night.  I think we all look forward to Friday nights all week long!

We get lots of snuggle time in :)

Name that movie, anyone?

Aurora had her very first primary program at church!  Grandma and Grandpa came to watch and we were happy to have them there with us!  I was a little irritated with our primary president for a couple of reasons that I won't go into detail on.  Let's just say they had to do with crayons and peanuts.  Aurora did AWESOME though!  She was the very first one to say her line in the program and she nailed it!  She even whispered to the primary president, "I'm going to do it all by myself!" and then she said her line perfectly, "Before we came to Earth we lived with Heavenly Father."  I almost missed it because I didn't know she was going to be very first and I was on my way out the door with Savannah.  Luckily I heard her sweet little voice just before I left the chapel and turned around to see her say her line :)  Way to go, baby!
A friend from the ward sneaked a couple pictures of Rori during the program.
(Thanks, Vickey!)



Our sweet little Aurora got this giant chocolate bar from the primary presidency as a reward for having her line memorized.  She was one of only a few who had their line memorized.  Good job, Rori!

Savy was proud of her sister too :)

We had a big family dinner with my mom's side last Sunday because my mom had some cousins in town from New York on their way to Idaho to spend Thanksgiving with their three sons.  I didn't even get any pictures of them, but it was great to see you, Tim and Gail!  I love that we live close to my mom's cousins and that our girls have cousins to play with on a regular basis.  They look up to their older cousins and always have a blast with them.  Just Dance on the Wii is always a hit with everyone!  Savannah was adorable to watch.  She just made up her own dance moves as she went along :)


Rori did awesome following along with the dancers on the screen!

Rori's focus face is great :)
(Just ignore the red eye :/ )

All the cousins crammed together

My cute parents :)

 And our cute family
(Again, ignore the red eye--we really should invest in photo shop some day)

More November to come later!
