Where did November go?

I didn't take any pictures on Thanksgiving.  Since we had our family get together the weekend before, we were at home for the real Thanksgiving.  I don't know why I didn't think to take pictures when we were all together.  We invited the elders over Thursday and cooked the traditional meal.  Afterward, we played Monopoly.  I haven't played that in a looooong time.  I think they had a good time.

Today (Saturday) we brought up the Christmas boxes.  I'm not quite ready to put everything out.  There's too much other stuff to do today, but there they set with my little pilgrims looking over them and thinking, "What happened to my holiday?"

Oh, and yes, you do see the train box sitting there.  When I asked Alan whether he was planning on setting up the train under the tree he said, "Yes, I've got to do it for Noah."  There's a story behind that.
