November in a nutshell

I guess I had "bloggers block" for the majority of this month! So, here it is the last day of the month (and it's late and I need to go to sleep), so I thought I'd post a quick summary of our month.
Stacey's Birthday on the 5th. Dinner and an interesting Target shopping trip with Julie, LeAnn, Lisa, Kim, Amy and Amy!
Brad's Birthday on the 12th. We celebrated with a yummy stawberry cake, BUT note to self: Brad would much rather have the homemade one next year! (I'm still baffled; I thought it was awesome!)
We celebrated Thanksgiving at the ranch with Brad's family. Here's a pic of the cousins. The cute one in the middle wasn't too excited about being outside in the cold wind...or maybe it was because she didn't get to hold her beloved "bear."
Brad got some QT hunting with the kiddos. We had a great week in Texas. It flew by! We were sad to leave, but I was so thankful to finally get home tonight. Our routine 6 hour drive turned into about 8 hours! Mother Nature made today's trip difficult! First of all, we battled a 30 mph wind coming out of the northeast, which is obviously a challenge when you're driving from Texas to Arkansas. Then, it rained...along with the wind. Then, just as soon as we think we're on the homestretch, we pass through the tunnel and hit a parking lot on 540. When we got to the other side of the tunnel, it was snowing!...and traffic was at a standstill. We crept along for the remainder of the way home going about 10 mph. It was actually very sad and a bit scary for me. There was wreck after wreck after wreck. I hope and pray everyone is OK after all that, and I'm thankful for the protection God provided for us!We also had fun visiting Williams cousins during our Texas trip! Can't wait to be closer to you so we can play more often!
