November

November has been good to us at the Lee house.  The election came and went and we've been able to get feeling more settled into the new house.  This one still likes to look silly though.
We were so happy when the big day finally came.  Justin worked a 21 hour day on Election Day and came out the other side.  It has been a really busy year, but he has worked hard and done a great job.
 He headed to St. George for a conference and was able to get a day of hiking in.




 Justin and Josie headed out for a "fancy date" to the Utah Symphony and dinner.  She was just a little bit delighted with the evening.

 They got a backstage tour and were able to see the new concert mistress play the Shostakovich Violin Concerto.

 He found some good looking year book pictures in the move (Junior Year).
 And some not-so-flattering ones (8th grade).
And he looks pretty much the same as his junior year one now.  Bridget is currently saving for some serious plastic surgery so she doesn't look like his grandmother soon.
 It snowed and these crazies ran right outside!


 We had our first (probably annual because it was so fun) Monopoly tournament.
 It got a little crazy on the championship game, but Justin came out the victor.
 We saw Moana and all loved it!
 We attempted a family picture.
 We headed to Temple Square (bad picture, I know!).
 And loved the Macy's displays too - all out of candy!
 This silly boy loves his robot arms.

And his little rock pet he made at storytime.
 This girl had an absolute blast at a STEM day for girls sponsored by ATK.  It was a huge event and this brave girl just hopped on a bus by herself and ended up having friends there and having so much fun!
Every once in a while Bridget gets treasures like this from her friends to remind her how goofy they were in high school.
 Rachel had way too much fun with her friends.

 And they learned about Veteran's Day in their classes.


 We headed to the zoo for a little family time.


 And spent some time at Station Park.
 Ian is writing non-stop these days and wrote this for the first snowfall.
 Josie is reading more and more and is so sweet to Andy.
 These two are goofballs.
 We went to see Brynn (Rachel's friend) as Clara in the Nutcracker.
 And Bridget tried to mortify Rachel.
 These four had their Primary program and it was the only one they will all be in together.  They did great!

 Mustache Day at school

Then this big boy had a birthday!





 He loved his presents (thanks everyone!) and has been using this lego table non-stop since the big day.

 We love his cute serious face when everyone is singing to him.
Andy at 4 years old is pretty great.  Here are some things we want to remember:
He is 32 lbs (18%) and 38.5in (14%).
He knows his shapes, colors, and can almost write his name.
He loves nursery rhymes and has several learned.
He is super athletic (can hit baseballs, run quickly, etc) and also loves to dance.
He loves have books read to him and his favorite are the Elephant and Piggie books.
His favorite bedtime songs are Dump Truck (Dad), Jackhammer (Mom), and Goodnight my Angel.
His best friend is Levi and he loves playing with Josie the most.
He loves building and playing with cars/trucks/anything with wheels.
His favorite church song is Nephi's courage and he can "read" the scriptures (follow his finger along the lines and tell awesome Nephi stories).
His favorite color is green.
His favorite foods are yogurt, any type of berry, pasta, enchiladas, and pizza.
He is a great kid and we love having him in our family!
 Ian's school work is just plain awesome.
 Cute Levi and Andy loved the first big snowfall.
 We headed to the dentist and it was all decked out with Harry Potter decorations.

And the election is officially over!  Here was the state canvas day where they certified the results.  Hip, hip, hooray!
