In November, we celebrated Wylan's FIRST Birthday with a bang! There were about 60 people over to celebrate with him. He did great and surely enjoyed his birthday cake.
For Thanksgiving we spent three days in Pixley, Ca. with Brian's side of the family at the Farm. While there we picked walnuts, played in the annual Turkey bowl (Wylan helped mommy's team score the winning touchdown)and went on a hayride with the Mooreheads. Wylan and Brian also went on a real John Deere with Jim Moorehead!
