November was a great month! On November 3rd we were able to find out the gender(and general health) of our baby! I had little hope for a different gender since there are 8 grand daughters and 1 grandson in my family. I would have loved another little girl, but was thrilled to find out that it was a boy! It will be fun to have one of each. The ultrasound was an early birthday present for me! I rarely have pictures of myself, so here are a couple of Evie waiting at the doctor's office.

| Is it our turn yet? |
Evie loves playing with her friends! While my friend Niki was working, I would watch her darling daughter Millie every once in a while- Evie enjoyed having her over and would sometimes give her hugs and kisses.
 |
| Isn't she a doll? |
|
I also watch our friend's son Carter every Thursday. Evie is ecstatic every time he comes over. He's a little older, so she thinks he's pretty cool.
 |
| They both like to eat a lot :). |
And then there's Evie best little friend, Ava. Evie has been talking about her as long as she could talk and always gets excited to see her. The Moores live below us on the other side and are great friends!
 |
| They were having so much fun on this chair. It fits the two of them perfectly! |
Speaking of eating...she downed these chicken nuggets. Sadly, she doesn't just eat anything anymore.
 |
| I know, no pants again...maybe the camera screams to be used whenever her pants are off :). |
 |
| Can I fit one more in my cheeks?? |
As I mentioned, I had a birthday on November 6th. I just can't believe I'm 28! Ahh! Well, I have two more years till I'm officially way old :). The sad thing is that I do not have pictures! Of course, I can't take good pictures of myself. But it was a great birthday. We went to Trafalga for mini golf and then had a party at my parents' house. I made fettuccine alfredo and I got a lot of awesome presents from my kind family. My mom got me an Oreo ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins and Ashley and Alan were even down from Logan and joined us for the festivities!
Wes' sister Jennica also made me a delicious pumpkin dessert the next day for the Ostler dinner get together at the Matthew's house. Everyone was so nice and I had a special couple days!
Also, in November I sadly let go of Evie's cute little pink and brown stroller and car seat. I believe it is currently in Mexico.
We needed something not-girly, and a double stroller. I found this great double stroller on ksl.com at an awesome price. I also bought a car seat that was in excellent condition. We only had to spend $10 more for the double stroller and car seat than what we sold Evie's travel system for. It was a great little trade and I'm excited to go on a lot of walks!
For
Thanksgiving, we had a dinner with Wes' family at Grandma and Grandpa Ostler's house the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun to get together to eat with everyone and the food was great!
The next day we headed up to
Idaho to have Thanksgiving at my sister Allison's house. It took forever to get there because of the snow, but we had a lot of fun- and we were able to get great Black Friday deals. I keep realizing that I need to take more pictures! I know Erin took a bunch of pictures on Thanksgiving (I got mad at her for taking 'natural shots' of me, those never look good!). So I'll have to get some pics from her.
On Black Friday we bought 5 Wii's from Walmart and one from Amazon that were a great deal. I know, kind of crazy. But we were able to make enough money from selling these to get ourselves a nice new red Wii for Christmas! We've only used it a couple times so far, but it is a fun thing to have for get togethers.
