November

In November we drove to Texas to Brad’s house for an early Thanksgiving with almost the whole Miller family!

We had a blast playing games, hanging out, and eating yummy food. 

We went to the Fort Worth stockyards and watched the Longhorns walk down the street right in front of us! And checked out all the fun stores.

Our young women’s group went rappelling and it was so fun! Sophie was nervous but didn’t hesitate and went down several times!

We took our wooden car Eleanor out to sonic and ate on the tailgate.

The girls made hot chocolate bombs with grandma while the boys enjoyed trains with grandpa.

Chocolate season has officially begun! So we have been dipping a lot.

For actual thanksgiving a few of us got together and had chicken and waffles. The kids got all dressed up by themselves so I had to take a picture.

One of the young women in the ward gave Lydia horseback riding lessons and we went to help take care of their animals and she was so sweet took all the kids on a ride on Scribbles. Lydia showed us what she learned.

And we have finally finished our archery range in our backyard. It involved a lot of clearing land and dumpster diving for carpet to build our target. But we love it!

October

 In October we went camping up on Mount Graham for a few days and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Someone had left a soda can on a log and we were determined to knock it off with our wrist rocket. 

We decided that if one person knocked it off then we could all go to a bakery on the way home. And I finally did! So we enjoyed some yummy local treats. 

We enjoyed the lake at the top of the mountain and exploring the forest.

Sophie turned 12!!! 

It’s crazy to think she is already 12. She is always so helpful and loves to bake, cook, and do crafts. 

For Halloween we kept it simple this year because of the Corona virus. We had a Miller Halloween. When I was growing up we only had 2 neighbors and didn’t go trick or treating and would buy what candy we wanted and watch Hocus Pocus. So we did that after trick or treating at one of our neighbors house. 

We also carved baby pumpkins! 

William wanted to be a dinosaur bat vampire. Haha
