Visitors

November was tricky with the Governor's mandate for refraining from gathering in small groups. We didn't see much of anyone for most of the month. However, we did have a few visitors and that was such a great thing for us. 

First, My Mom. 

We had been planning a "taco-birthday-party" for my mom since March when she gave Caleb the book "Dragons Love Tacos" and her birthday just happens to be the date circled on the calendar for their taco party. We were so bummed that we weren't going to be able to actually follow through with the taco party, so instead of hosting a big party - we convinced my mom to come and stay the week with us. I snuggled with her in her bed and we watched Korean dramas until 1 am every night and she talked and read books and hung out during the days. We celebrated her birthday with tacos for dinner while she read Dragons Love Tacos to the kids. My mom is wonderful. 

(Screenshot of the Korean drama we were watching, Start Up, I loved this little dining room nook.) 

She left on a Friday and the very next day our next visitor arrived: 

BRUCE! 

He drove in from Colorado to spend Thanksgiving with our family and we loved having him stay for the whole week. We played games. He bribed the kids with fruit snacks. We played more games. He played with the kids. It was just a great week. Our favorite game of the holiday? Pandemic. Ha. 

I'll blog about this in December, but to add to our Visitor tally - the very next day after Bruce left, the Haderlie kids came for us to babysit for a week! All in all it was a great month for visitors.
