November

I bought these cute cake pops to deliver to our offices this month.  I took boxes of Le Croissant to our top offices. One lady from an office in Tremonton ran out to my car after I dropped it off and said, "YOU GOT US LE CROISSANT????!!!!!!"  It was their favorite and they were SOOOO excited. =) I had no idea and it was so cute. HA!!

We got together for some Boomerang Fu and Katie even came!  She was feeling pretty good!
Jett was stylin'.......
Savanna had finished up her cruise and they were heading home the next day.....what a blast they had!!
Jon was flying to Boston the next day and I told him he might run into Savanna!  They were going to be there at the same time.  He went over to her concourse and said hi as she got home! =) He was videoing on his glasses and sent me the video.  It was funny!  She was like, Hi!! what are you doing here??
Sav brought me some awesome magnets from Cambodia and Japan.  I have got so many cool magnets this year!! Wow!  I had to get a new board for my collection....
The temple is looking so beautiful....
Elder Arrington--Ben, as we have to get used to calling him now--came and stayed at our house for a while.  It was so fun!  He asked if we had a guitar and I remembered that I actually do!  We blew the dust off of it and he played the heck out of it!  He's amazing!  It was so fun to sit and listen to him play.  He has celiac disease so we got him a few gluten-free things including some tortillas.  They made some burritos for breakfast....his sleeping cap is pretty sweet! =)
Sav got answered to Sadies by Thayne....she loves little hands--it was perfect! =)
Brooks pretending to play my guitar...
Brooks started a new job!!! ♥️♥️♥️ He is now the Hunt Marketing Manager for Danner and LaCrosse Footwear!  They are located in Portland, Oregon and he works remotely from home.  
Camp Chef was such a wonderful job for him for so long, but it was time for a change!  Camp Chef has changed ownership a few times and the leadership above him has changed and it had become something that he needed to get out of.  We are so thankful for this new opportunity and he is really liking it so far!
We got to see some Northern Lights again!!
The sky was all pink and green for a while and we joked that the marketing for the new Wicked movie coming out was really going big! ;)
You could see them all over the valley!
Austin finally found a truck to buy!  Yay!  He loves it.
Sav has made the cutest things in ceramics this year....
Snuggling with Champy....
Sav made Brooks do a trend with her where you guess if the person next to you is lying about what they are holding...
Sav got asked to Mountain Crest's Senior Ball!  One of Neal's football friends asked Millie, and another friend asked Sav.....
Jack Davis got Dengue fever while serving in the Cook Islands and their friends the Merrills also serving in New Zealand had a layover there and got to go see him.  It was a miracle and he is all healed now! ♥️
Sav Bella and Millie crashed a Green Canyon dance dressed as boys..... Bahaha....
A welcome basket for a new dentist in town....
My dad had surgery to remove a mass on his kidney and we all went out for ice cream the night before....it was a fun get-together!
Sav had to make a new resume for one of her classes and I thought it was so cute....
She also had to write a poem and wrote about a little girl in Cambodia....it's a tear-jerker!  We both cry whenever she reads it. ♥️
Savanna got to go to Leadership Day at Utah State.  It was for kids who are interested in being an ambassador there.  She has such a blast!
While they were there there was an announcement released from the first presidency....
They caught wind of it there on campus and Sav started texting me about how shocked and excited she was!!  It was surprising--we thought we had quite a bit of time before she would go, but I feel like she is ready, so I'm so excited for her!  She would like to go right away after graduation so she can get back for winter semester of college.  She texted the family and said "Get ready to come to my farewell in June!" =) 
The next day was Sadies....she had a great time with Thayne!
They had the after party at our house and one of the boys said thank you to us in the Ring camera as they left.  So nice! =)
Most Sundays at our house.....
Savanna got REALLY into Dancing With the Stars this season, and she got me into it, too.  She wanted to have some friends over to watch the finale and I said, oh yeah! Let's have a proper party! 🪩
I bought a bunch of disco ball stuff and we made kisses with all of the contestants on them....
They were so pumped!! =)
Millie brought pizza and they made scoring paddles....
It came down to Alix Earle and Robert Irwin, which is exactly what we thought would happen.  The girls all wanted Alix and I wanted Robert to win......They had like double the votes they've ever had before or something.  It was insane.  This season just got so popular!
The big reveal........
ROBERT WON!!!
I was so excited, and they were so sad. =(  I was surprised because they loved Robert, too, but they were just convinced that Alix was going to win.
I just love Robert--I don't think there's anyone cuter than their family.  I love that Bindi won 10 years ago and now he won too!  Amazing!!
Thanksgiving!
We had it at our house and everyone came but Jon and Liz who went to Cody.
Marley Sav and Libby doing some KPop Demon Hunter dancing....
Ready to carve!
Capri woke up and joined us later....she was a little dazed...=)
Yummm......
Alexandria and Alinya live in Logan now and they came and joined us later too after Alexandria got off work!  They brought some slush that Grandma Hansen always used to make! Yum! It was fun to get to chat and hang out with them for a while.
Marley got to help Sav and Libby make some Oreo cake balls.
Austin got some London keychains for all of the cousins.....Marley picked one with a crown.
After Thanksgiving a bunch of them went over to Bear Lake for the weekend and made cute gingerbread houses.  We had too much going on here to join them.  Work, etc...
We got to go to a USU game and Sav was on the big screen with Emma and Tori's niece I think.  So cute!  So many people said they saw Sav on tv. =)
They had a mascot face-off and it was so funny!  They played basketball musical chairs.
One night we went to dinner with Shanna, Tara, Dolly and Lawlor.  I took some old notes and we laughed our heads off talking about our old memories.  It's so fun to have Shanna back in town!  She and I went to the temple one day too.  I just love her! =)
I found the code to our secret language.  We wrote notes to each other in it all the time and didn't even have to use the code to write or read it.
