November was pretty routine with no major traveling. We did go to Colstrip for a weekend and then the following weekend St. Xavier for Thanksgiving.
Great family time and food!
The group minus our two girls, who were napping.

On the home front our family has been healthy. Just before Thanksgiving we got our first substantial snow. The girls loved it! Ok for about 20 minutes. 20 minutes of winter gear prep for 20 minutes of winter play. Haha.
Christmas decorations went up Friday after Thanksgiving. No black Friday shopping for us.
And since Christmas season is in full swing we are enjoying activities with friends, Christmas parties, etc.

Houde family, some of our Billings friends.
Billings has lots of hot spots for Christmas light viewing. This one was pretty.
We had guests over the other night and surprised them with some holiday cheer! I think this was reminiscent of Harris Family Christmas card 2010.
Liza turned 16 months old recently and we dropped the front of her crib. Now that she is in her "big girl bed" I am trying to convince her to stop sucking her thumb because "big girls" don't suck their thumbs. So far her obedience only goes as far as our presence. As soon as we are out of sight, she pops that thumb in. Thumb polish is not working. She actually likes the cayenne flavor. Taking suggestions if anyone has them!
Next weekend I will update the blog with this years making of the Harris Family Christmas Card! Many of you get the card so I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
We are headed to Minnnesota this year for Christmas and maybe as late as New Years too. Looking forward to seeing many of you! Be joyful and until next time...
So apparently, and according to my cousin Brooke who is a licensed therapist, it is bad to make kids stop sucking their thumb. They will quit when they are ready!
