Other November stuff - non-wedding - including Thanksgiving!

November was so busy that we blinked and it was over.  Among the many things going on were more activities with the Primary girls.  One involved practicing for a Christmas program.  We have no shots of that, but below are some from the missionary-writing activity.

 Penning thoughts to the missionaries from the ward.

 More writers.

Rehearsing with chimes after the letter writing.

 Relaxing up in Logan - Alicia and her future husband.  Aren't they cute?

 A recent shot of Gayle.

And Gayle took one of me.

 Another November picture.

 The girls both got their hair trimmed this month.

 Here is McKel's head of hair after the trim job, and she's not even 3 yet!

 Avril got hers clipped a bit too.

 And she's only 4!

 Also this month, Dan Nelson (kneeling with me) and I mentored our InTech 9th grade team in their science project regarding sustainability (theirs related to biofuel using switchgrass).

Right after the science fair, held at one of our Thermo Fisher Scientific buildings, I snapped this shot of the sunset over the Wellsville mountains.  This photo does not do justice to how spectacular it was.

And here is a brief piano piece improvised by Avril!

 
 Driving a car in the Deseret Industries store while the newlywed parents are on their honeymoon.  McKel had recently bumped her eye and had a scab next to it.

 Two sister princesses at the grandparents' house.

 Although I'm no good at it, I'm always elected to carve the meat at these gatherings.  I'm wearing my glasses as safety goggles.

 This shot shows the crowd gathered - sans me, who took the shot.  And later Robert and Brian Parkinson came over.

 The triplets and their parents who do a herculean job trying to keep up with them!

 Mom and her oldest kid.

 Half of the round table.

 The other half.

And the family group who went and visited with grandpa Spencer (Joyce had been there earlier).
