November Bits

 The pieces of our November puzzle.

{We found ourselves a new President, and a new favorite CNN guy.}

{Seventies in November? I will take it!}

{The kids rediscovered the old wooden train tracks of days gone by, and spent the night building the crap out of them.}

{Camryn and I came across this over-the-top display of holiday cheer on our bike ride. It spans three yards and comes equipped with a sidewalk tunnel.}

{Not to be outdone, these two were busy getting our house Griswold ready!}

{Our first official Christmas light drive through of the season. My mom treated us to the Arboretum's light show where we had to stay in cars instead of walking the trails. A fine choice on that cold and drizzly night!}

{I had a colonoscopy, drank my self-prescribed prep, and came out polyp free! I get a five-year break before my next violent colon cleanse.}

{The mother-in-law demanded a picture of our family for her Christmas card. This was the best we could come up with on short notice...}

{We have an active group in the cul-de-sac across from our house. Ambulances, fire trucks, and a Chicago news crew all this month. Yikes!}
