There is nothing better than a crisp fall day!! We have been blessed with numerous beautiful days in November, with sunny skies and fairly warm weather, considering this is Iowa, and we've tried to enjoy them, knowing that all too soon, the snow will fall.
The first weekend in November was the annual military ball, and I was shocked that the weather was so warm, I could wear my open toed shoes (instead of snow boots) with my dress. As always, it was wonderful to have a night out with my hubby, and we are so thankful for our gracious friends who volunteered to keep our kids so we could attend. The trees in our yard were at their peak that weekend, and we got some great shots of the fall colors!
By the next weekend, however, the leaves were mostly gone, and we spent one sunny afternoon raking up 15 bags of leaves! Alexa loved helping us rake and compress the leaves, though she seemed to enjoy playing in the piles a bit more!
Soon after, the weather cooled quite a bit and we decided to try out our fireplace! It was a hit, as you can see!
And lastly, this was just a cute photo of the kids before school one morning when Alexa had fixed her own hair!
