Thanksgiving 2012

 

We had a good Thanksgiving this year.  I was off work from Wednesday till Sunday which is longer than usual so it was extra good to get to hang and relax with the family.  I didn't take any actual pics of Thanksgiving day b/c we went to see my family and celebrated on the coast and I was too busy watching football, eating, and chasing kiddos.  Here's some pics of Elle's program at her school.  They sang "If you're Thankful and you know it" and also "We eat Turkey" songs. It was cute!

 

 Jay got to join in on the fun.  After they sang, a traditional Thanksgiving lunch was served and I don't think ANY of those kids were into green beans, sweet potatoes, or dressing so they all enjoyed feeding Jay their vegetables they thought were gross.

 Happy little Indian "Red Robin"

 Now onto Christmas but I sure am thankful for these 2 turkeys!

Jay can say Sissy

MSU vs A&M

Last weekend we headed to Starkville with Elle to go to Bulldog Bash on Friday and then go to the MSU vs A&M game on Saturday. It was sooo HOT outside but a good time except for State getting the tar beat out of them! Josh and Elle at Little Dooey's for lunch

About to head into the game and BURN UP! It was soooo hot.

We had Elle's cousin, Caroline's birthday party on Sunday at my parent's house. She is now 5 years old!

Today was the first day to work with the new time change and I felt really sad picking Elle up from school when it was DARK outside. To make things worse I worked late and by the time I picked her up she was the LAST one there out of her class. She was helping her teacher mop the floor and apparently they had alot of "one on one" time together because her hair was all braided up.

Elle told me she was special because she got to help and hold the mop bucket and eat a kit kat. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! ha!

Trick or Treat

On Halloween we got off work a little early to dress the kids up and headed over to the Bounds house to meet up and trick or treat. We went to about 6 or 7 houses and these kids had way more candy than they ever needed! Jay, Elle, MC, Marley, and Wilkes

Meredith and I helped Jay and Jackson get in on the fun too! They both ate a sucker and thoroughly enjoyed it.

When we finished trick or treating we went over to the Sharpe house where they had about 50 people over and tons of food, a fire, and even made a scary house/trail out of their playset in the backyard. I was too busy eating and keeping up with my kids to take pics but it was fun. Jay found someone's canned rootbeer and downed it! Who knew he loved rootbeer?
