Our Nod to November

Oh my goodness, where did November go?  Talk about being over in the blink of an eye.  It must be because of all the fun things we were doing!  Hope you enjoy a few extra pictures and videos from November!!!
We love Garrett's crazy hair (this was pre first hair cut!)!!
Not sure where Tori picked this up from, but she has been doing it for the past couple of weeks and we think it's pretty entertaining!
This year we were really concerned about the logistics of being able to vote.  So we took our chances and went to vote early with both kids in tow.  It ended up being super cold and when we got to our voting location the line was out the door and halfway down the block.  We said a quick prayer and decided to give it a try.  As soon as we got in line, Garrett started to cry and I was really wondering if we had made a good decision.  A few minutes later one of the ladies that works at the county office came down the line letting us know we should be inside in about 10 minutes.  She returned about a minute later and asked us to follow her.  We were so relieved when she led us inside the building and showed us where we could wait for our turn to vote.  This woman was an answer to our prayers and another of Heavenly Father's tender mercies.  We still waited the same amount of time, basically just jumping back in line when the line made it to us.  But we were able to wait inside where Tori had a bathroom (she had to go potty while we were waiting) and where both kids could stay warm.  It really confirmed to us that voting is indeed important and I am so glad that we were able to take part in the election process this year!!!
On this day, Tori asked that her hair look like Tiana's.  We got it done and she looked at me and said, "where is my crown?"  So, we rounded up a tiara and Tori was satisfied- here is the finished product!
 Welcome to the Garrett and Tori dance party!!!
Garrett is learning to share!
 I bet you never knew that Garrett's car would make such an awesome fort!
I am starting to wonder if a fascination for,and the quick mastering of, the remote might just be a male trait...
because Garrett is already getting it down!!!
 And he is also starting to figure out the phone!
Tori has recently taken up fort making.  She did this on all by herself- not too shabby!
 Hurrah for fun packages from Grandma!!!
Yeah, Garrett finally, and just barely, hit 20 pounds!  Now he can ride in style!!!
Just in case you were wondering, this is how an angel with butterfly wings flies!!!
We won't be getting our big Christmas tree for a few weeks, so we decided to pull out our small tree the day after Thanksgiving.  Tori had so much fun helping Daddy put it together!
 Garrett was fascinated by the lights!
Ta-da!!! Tori did a great job putting all the kid-friendly ornaments on it!  We love out little Christmas tree!  
 Garrett was looking very dapper for church- what a stud!!!
Tori loves baking up some cookies!!! (Thanks so much Colorado Harrison's- it's a huge hit!)
Check it out- both of my boys participated in No-Shave November this year!!!
Thanks for all the fun memories November- we thoroughly enjoyed you!!!
