November was another full month for our family. Here's a peek at what we did this month:
We were lucky to have more beautiful weekend weather, so we took advantage of gorgeous days by getting out and hiking at the Arboretum. It's always our favorite place to go when we are short on time but want to get outside.
The Kinkaid book fair was also in November. We found the sweet spot when the fair was empty -- 45 minutes after school let out but an hour before family night started.
Continuing with books, my school was lucky to host Shannon Messenger, author of the Keeper of the Lost Cities series.
Shannon was in discussion with local author Katharine McGee.
We had a huge crowd for this evening event!
Henry's fall art show was during November as well. He had four works on display!
Best of all, Gramma and Grampa were in town and able to come see Henry's work.
Henry also took up violin this fall as part of the fine arts rotation at Kinkaid. After his disastrous experience with violin in kindergarten, we were all surprised to discover that he absolutely adores playing the violin now!
The best part of November was spending time with family. We were so lucky this year to have Amber, Tom and the kids come to Houston for a week. Their trip overlapped with our annual Thanksgiving vacation, but we still had plenty of time together. Here are some family photos from Thanksgiving day.
Two days after Thanksgiving, we went to Gene and Nancy's for our second family celebration.

We have so many things to be thankful for this year, but spending time with our families is at the top of the list.
