November

November was a fun-filled month. The first exciting thing that happened was that we found out on the 10th that we were expecting another baby girl!

We experienced many silly Mina moments and just laughed and laughed. She loves to ride around in her little car we found at a garage sale. We let her drive down the street to deliver a Christmas card to our friends one Sunday. She looked too cute.

She loves to wear anything and everything on her head as hats. Our friend who served his mission in Russia let her wear the furry hat for a while. Then, whenever Mina is finished eating anything she will put the bowl, plate or whatever she might be using, on her head and tell us it's a hat.

Grandpa Duncan got her the cutest pair of winter boots and she's started to get some real use out of them as the weather has turned to freezing. She looks super cute in them and they keep her feet and legs toasty warm.

Later in the month we had a nice Thanksgiving with our new next door neighbors and a few of Dru's friends from class. We started the day off by decorating our little 3 foot Christmas tree. Mina was a terrific help besides occasionally trying to eat the ornaments. We had a deep fried turkey, which was good, but can't compare to the turkey a friend of Dru's made at our house last year. We had mashed potatoes, a corn casserole, rolls, fruit salad and much more. We ended the day by roasting marshmallows in a fire pit out back. It was a delicious and fun day and we enjoyed leftovers for the rest of the week.
