November- Crafts, Trains, Birthday Party & Thanksgiving

November was a bit calmer month for us. We had fun with preschool activities. It was Emily's turn to teach and when her unit was done we did some neat crafts. The kids got to finger paint and glue fruit loops! Jeff found out about a fun train museum that is near OMSI so we took a day to go see what it was like. Cooper had a blast! He loved checking out the huge engines! We even decided that we would go on the Holiday Train that is done by the same group that put together the museum. It was fun to have something to look forward to doing in December. Also in November was Cooper's friend, Elliot's birthday. It was at a skating rink. It was Cooper's first time roller skating. He gave skates a try for awhile with daddy but later decided to give the bike a try. He had so much fun zipping around the rink on the little bike! At the end of the month was Thanksgiving. We had a nice meal with some of our family. Nana and papa hosted the dinner at their house. Now for the pictures:
