October/November 2013

The months of October November were busy months for us. Jesse went to China. We also had Jesse's birthday as well as Thanksgiving.

Jesse went to China for 2 weeks with his grandmother. 4 years ago she told Jesse she would take him, and they finally went in October! They did a tour group - Gate 1. This picture is the two of them at the Great Wall of China. They both had a blast!

We made this little savings chart that we can fill with stickers. It's been really motivating. We won't finish this chart before we buy a house though... We are trying to buy something in a year. We are trying to save as much as possible right now.

We also bought a new (used) fridge because our old fridge was super small. See the difference for yourself!!

We celebrated Jesse's 33rd birthday!! :D I made him vanilla peanut butter fudge ice cream pie! So delicious! 

We had Thanksgiving at my aunt Kim's house. This is a photo of Jesse sharing his 3D books with my Kim and my grandmother Jennifer. This was a very nice holiday with my family.

The next day we went to my mom's house for dinner. She had Thanksgiving with her boyfriend's (now fiance) family so she had all of her girls over for another Thanksgiving. I planted this tree in the backyard when I was like 6 years old. It was a gift. Now it was time to cut it down to use as our first Christmas tree! :) However, after doing so, we both felt bad for killing the tree so next time we will get an artificial tree - no tree killing and it's way easier to set up/down.

That pretty much sum's up our November!
