back to november....

first stop... Nov.23rd Shawn's birth day!

~for some reason Shawn had the bright idea of letting me take his birthday pictures, and consequently they did not turn out! :(

LUCKILY, i took a video, so we have some documentation of the event! lol
~HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAWN!

next stop... Thanksgiving!

we had a small Lyman family thanksgiving at our house this year. it was very pleasant, and the food was delicious!

~THE FEAST!~

~Ivy and grandma Karen enjoying each others company~

( despite Shawn's "Christmas doesn't start till after thanksgiving rule." to help cheer me up and to add a little mood for our feast, Shawn let us put up the Christmas tree early this year!)
