Hello December! Where did November go? Maybe it went by so quick because half of it we spent in New Jersey for the Thanksgiving holiday. November 15th Carson and I headed out to NJ to spend some time with the Penrods (Keith had to work so he came later on the 25th). Our days were filled with lots of Grandma/Grandpa and cousin time! Carson just loves his cousin Tennyson and they had so much fun together.
The first week we went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. This was definitely one of my favorite museums. It reminded me of the Discovery Center in Boise but A LOT BIGGER!! We had so much fun exploring this awesome science museum! Afterwards we walked across the street to see the progress on the Philadelphia Temple!

At the end of that week we celebrate Tennyson's 8th birthday. The next day he was also baptized, I don't have any pictures from the baptism though.
 |
Love this picture, it captures these two perfectly. Out to dinner at Applebees for Tennyson's birthday. |

The next week was Thanksgiving and that means Keith would be there! He arrived Tuesday night before Thanksgiving.

I wanted a family picture on Thanksgiving and this is what Keith gave me. |

My pumpkin roll isn't pictured but it was delish!
All of us girls hit Black Friday (which is now Black Thursday) that evening and scored some sweet stuff! The next day we all went to Smithville (Catherine had to work...sad) a cute little village with lots of shops and places to eat all decorated for Christmas. |

Afterwards Carson was sad because he didn't get to see Zombie Santa. |

Eating out at Vesuvios afterwards. Yummy Italian food! |
Saturday we all headed to Atlantic City for some boardwalk fun!

Following that weekend on Monday we headed to the Cape May Zoo and Cape May Beach to see the lighthouse. |
