November things 2023

Watching movies and eating popcorn has become our go to Friday night activity.
And we watched a general conference talk almost every night.  I really liked that--I should start doing that again.
We walked out to the street fair at Santa Barbara one weekend.  I thought this was clever.
Also near the Santa Barbara Hacienda mall.
The boys loved these.
Efraim learned to blow a bubble!
Pres. Michael Nelson (the Young Men's General President) came to speak to the areas around Bogotá and the kids got to go in person. 


The boys played fútbol at the park a lot.
I made the kids an anime dinner.

Efraim's adorable drawing--he was so excited for Christmas!
I also made cookies one afternoon.  I took them some of them to share at the Spanish school.   I still had classes every day till after the first week in December.
This made me laugh so hard.  Definitely different generations.  I grew up with that being quite a typical teenage thing, now it's sexual harassment.  Not here though.
I tried on some cute clothes that I didn't buy.
Partly I couldn't decide if I liked the red or blue shirt better. 
Lando fell from the tree at the church and got hurt.  Ouch!
Nicolas likes this building.  
I put up lights for Christmas. And other decorations too--I tried to spend as little as possible and I thought I succeeded in making our townhome look festive.
Sebas with his "rich fútbol player" haircut as his sisters' called it.
I caved and bought a vase and frog so I could make flower arrangements.  Only I should have bought a bigger frog.
Our Christmas tree!
Remember I was going for biggest impact for least amount of money?  Well, that definitely had impact and was only like $12.
Colombian chocolate is SOOOOOO good!!!  Not Jet. But these kinds.  Easily as good as Lindt or Ghirardelli.
 I slowly added weights and exercise things to our supplies.
I aslo made Thanksgiving for the kids and the missionaries--with a turkey and everything!!! That's a small miracle because our oven is sketchy to say the least.

Colombia is having affecting our children.  ❤️❤️

Weird Colombian flavors.  
Actually a lot of my kids really like the pollo flavored chips.
Leo's view one night.
The biggest geranium plant I've ever seen.
Shopping at Pricesmart (the equivalent of Sam's Club or Costco) requires an Uber home, because no way I can pack all that. 
Leo's view flying into Bogotá!! 😍😍😍
The girls sang in church.

And Jubal insisted I record his cool jump.
