It’s No-shave November so… I didn’t shave. You can watch the beard progress through the month.

No More Beard
I’m a little behind on getting this one up since I’ve been beardless now for over a month. Here it is being removed from my face.
Winter!
Winter is upon us here in Eastern Iowa. Scott tried out the new snowthrower (yes, you read that right…snowTHROWER…just like it said on the box) and we’ve both decided it was the best money we have ever spent at Costco.
Christmas Tree Decorating
Here’s a short time lapse video of our tree being decorated this year. Thank you to everyone who helped!
Epic Thanksgiving Extravaganza
It has been a busy few days. We hosted (a very large) Thanksgiving at our house this year. My parents, Jess’s parents, Joanna, little Sam, Ben, his parents, his sisters, a friend or two, my aunt and uncle and brother came to the turkey celebration in our new basement (the only area large enough for that many people). Ben smoked a turkey and we fried a turkey in the back yard. Thankfully (ha! get it? Thanksgiving… thankful?) it was a nice day to stand over a turkey fryer. I believe we also had some smoked ham mixed in there for good measure. I think everyone had a good time, and we all ate too much!
On Black Friday, we went to the Iowa Nebraska football game. The weather from the previous day unfortunately did not hold. It was a blustery cold day in Kinnick, and the Hawks did not pull off the upset that we had hoped… oh well, there’s always next year.
Check out the photos (and turkey-frying video) below.
Pumpkin Carving
Here’s a quick video of our pumpkin this year. We decided to go with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (Michelangelo because the pumpkin is orange) design. Enjoy!
