This and That in November, Part 1!

Shafer Fall fun!

Halloween where Lilian was a dalmation and Caleb was a firefighter.

Carving pumpkins with Aunt Sarah.

The family had fun spending time at a local pumpkin patch.

David and Jacob did baptisms for a Turkish young man

 from the Antalya Branch where Reid and Kathy serve. 

 It was a great experience!

Fans at the BYU basketball game!

Heidi saw the Northern Lights from her backyard!

Kathryn serving in Constanza.  

It's nice to see the scenery but I especially love seeing the people!

Veteran's Day and the Perrys are off of school and work.

That makes it a good day to go to the temple...

...and then to our house for pizza afterwards!

Everyone had fun doing a Thanksgiving craft!

Nathaniel loves to study his scriptures in the morning before school in his chair.

A game of Mexican Train was fun!

Darryl agreed to watch a Hallmark movie 

but only if he could work on his chainsaw.

Made him feel more manly!

Camille was an Oompa Loompa in the school's production

 of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Camille crocheted these flowers

 and designed this arrangement

 for a gift exchange with her theater group.

Sarah had a unique temple experience

 sponsored by her Relief Society.

They met at 5:20 a.m. on Saturday and did baptisms

 at the Manti Temple and the Payson Temple.

They also walked the grounds of the Provo City Center Temple 

and the almost-finished Ephraim Temple.

John, Aubrey and Bethany went to Salt Lake City

 for another concert coordinated with a movie!

And finally the first half of this month finished off with

 a family dinner hosted by John and Sara with a "Pie" theme.  

Dessert was easy but here are the main dishes: 

Chicken Pot Pie, Shepherd's Pie, Quiche, and Paella

Good times with family which also included Howard and Lissa Bangerter!

Love this time of year with a focus on gratitude:

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
