That would give you the impression that November was un-note worthy, but that is the complete opposite of the truth. I was so busy, in fact, that I had very little free time to post a fabulous blog for all of you loyal readers.
Well, let's get down to business, shall weeee?
My dad turned 50 in October and we threw him a party. It was SUPPOSED to be a surprise, but he wouldn't quit bugging everyone and I'm pretty sure he was aware of what we had up our sleeves. (No thanks to the fact that my mom can't keep a secret to save her life...)
My mom giving my dad a birthday kiss...
Becky's hilarious!
Dad & Jo
Kaycee's present for dad!
Mitch as the grim reaper!
Speaking of secrets, my Grandfather wanted the sex of my sister's baby to be a surprise to him, but since he now knows, I can feel free to tell you that my older sister and her husband are going to have a baby BOY!! They are pretty convinced that they will name him Aythen. We don't really have many boys in our family, so this is EXTRA exciting! (If you can remember, in a previous post my uncle called it by using some trick he learned with a pencil, needle, and a string...go back to the "You Might Be a Big Fish in a Little Pond..." post to understand what I'm talking about).
Aythen's penis! :) haha
His Leg
Aythen's head and heart!
On Friday, Nov. 14th of this year my twin sister, Jodi, had abdominal surgery to remove a relatively LARGE tumor that we now know was borderline malignant and even though we were all terrified for her, her recovery went really well and we all believe she'll be back to her original state of health sometime within the near future. She's so strong and resilient and I'm relieved that she's alright, now.
:) ---Love you, Jodi!
Me and Dad chillin' in the waiting room.
I have a picture of Jodi, too, but she refuses to let me put it on here....lol.
My cousin, Lindsey, came in for Jo's surgery and this is her baby girl, Emma.
It was Jodi's original idea for us (me, Gracie, Leah, and herself) to go to the Coldplay Concert at the Toyota Center, but unfortunately, due to her surgery being a mere 4 days before the concert she was unable to make it. And even though there was a hesitation about whether we should go without her, she insisted that we did and Chrystal joined us with Jodi's ticket.
It was an incredible concert!
I loved every minute of it and even though they weren't the chatty "this song was written about a girl who broke my heart" type of band, they played just about every song I was dying to here and I can tell you with a straight face that I left that place wanting to make out with ANYONE! :)
hahaha
And of course, at the ass end of November, was Thanksgiving. I know that most people can't stand the holidays because it's just way too many family members in one room and therefore way more drama than anyone is really willing to torture themselves with. Luckily, my Thanksgiving went lovely and I ate a lot and got to see some friends that are usually out of town.

P.S. since I know you are going to get your starbucks coffee this month, at least buy the flavors that will benefit someone else, too.
