November 2010

Alright, so here is our November 2010 in a few pictures. Not much happened that month, other than Xander's b-day and Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving at our house with just us. It was a nice day. Nathan finds cooking Thanksgiving dinner therapeutic, so he did most of it. We had the usual--Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, etc. For desert we had a cherry cheesecake.

Nathan gave Xander some of the cheesecake filling, and Xander loved it! Xander with his huge roll! It's seriously the size of his face!

On November 27, 2010, we decided that it was time to give Xander his first hair cut. So we sat him down with a graham cracker and buzzed it off!

He did alright for the first little bit, until he decided he didn't like this anymore. Then Nathan had to pretty squeeze him and keep him still so I could finish it.

Michael took this picture, and even though he cut Xander off below the nose, I love it! It shows the true terror and fear in Xander's eyes.

When we first cut it, I was really, really sad! I didn't mean to cut it so short, but I couldn't turn back. I seriously almost cried! Now that it's grown back a bit, I really like it.

All the hair that got chopped. It was a lot! It really looked like I had gotten a trim, there was so much hair!

To kick off the official beginning of Christmas, the town of Rexburg puts on a shin-dig with Santa, a chili dinner and hot chocolate, and a sleigh ride. It was a nice night.

Michael was quite excited to see Santa! That's his "cheese" smile. He's not growling...

Xander all bundled up. He stayed pretty warm the whole night, while Michael, on the other hand, was freezing cold about half way through, and spend the last 10 minutes we were there sobbing.
