Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving day started with lunch at the Tanners. This is Abby one month before her 4th birthday and Maggie 8 months old. Bob and Cherry worked hard in the kitchen and we had a great lunch. Then we were off to Granny Jos for lunch again. Jim and Andrea came up from Florida and Jack, Mary, Amy and Phillip came in from Georgia. (Yes that is a picture of Andrea and HER motorcycle.) This was our "thankful" tree, we all wrote what we were thankful for and hung it up. With out a doubt everybody was thankful for family, jobs, health, and home. After sitting around for a while we were off to the barn so Caleb and Jared and Haley could ride Dusty. Even Amy got to ride him, she grew up with horses so she was a natural, I got a picture of her giving lessons in the tack room.

Thanksgiving at Aunt Lindas

Wednesday night kicked off our Thanksgiving, we went to Aunt Linda and Uncle Stewarts house and ate such good food. It was so good to see everybody, all the kids were there except Terrells and we will see them at Christmas. Between 7 grandkids we have 8 children and 1 on the way. Congratulations Leslie! The girls had so much fun playing in this small pile of leaves they left just for the kids to play in. Abby thought it was the best thing, this was her first pile of leaves to play in because we don't really have any trees, who knew she would have this much fun?!

Abby and Riley

Saturday Bridget and I got to catch up and let our little girls play, they hit it off and had a great time.

Happy Birthday Kenley

(11/15/09) Sunday was Kenleys birthday party at Parties On The Move. (I didn't have my camera so this is off my phone.) They all had a blast jumping and eating cake and ice cream. Happy 5th birthday Kenley.

Abbys Christmas Tree

(11/14/09)Didn't they do a good job?!?! Saturday we started bring up Christmas trees, I put Abbys in her room but that is all I had done. It got really quiet in there and when I went to check on them they were so proud of how well they had decorated the tree. It was so cute, they had a princess cd player, doctor toys, panties, hair barrettes,necklaces,bracelets, notebook keychains, bubble wands, tea pots,and other odd and end toys on the tree. (Excuse the vanity I had pulled it off the wall where the tree goes.)

Thanksgiving Program at School

(11/13/09)Abby did so good today at her Thanksgiving program, she sang her little heart out, then had a ball running around afterwards. Jason and I and her GranJan and Pops were all there and Jason Tammy and Gaylan. They had tables set up in the gym with centerpeices that were made by the kids in the diferent classes. They served vegetable soup and cornbread Abby and Carlee after the program then Carlee spent the rest of the day at our house playing.

Operation Christmas Child

(10/13/09)We signed up to buy socks and underwear for a boy and a girl age 4-6 for the Operation Christmas Child. Abby was so proud to take them to school and I think she sort of understood why we were buying them for someone else because she picked out some new panties but I told her we weren't buying anything for her tonight and told her about little boys and girls that need things and she (for the most part) agreed.

Popsicle Truck

(11/08/09)Madison came over to play Sunday. The popsicle truck came and then they had fun playing on the swing set.

(11/07/09)While we were shopping today one of the booths was selling letter art, it was letters of your last name framed and every letter was different, found on unique things, but at $12 per letter I thought I would make my own. So later Jeanna noticed an old timey plow that was in the shape of a T so now if i can find an A two N's an E and a R I will have me a neat peice of art.

Homestead Hollow

(11/7/09)Today we went to Homestead Hollow and met Cherry,Jeanna and Maggie there, it was a beautiful day to be outside. Abby did the trampoline and got to tell Santa Clause what she wanted for Christmas, which was a trampoline, we ate homemade ice cream and did some shopping.

Chocolate

(10/31/09)GranJan got back from her trip to South Carolina with her sister Mary for her 60th birthday and she brought Abby back a yummy peice of chocolate. I thought it was too cute to eat so I had to take a picture of it. Then we all enjoyed eating it.

Happy Halloween

(10/31/09) We went to Abbys school for their fall festival, the first thing we saw was a guy on stilts and a wolf mask on with a long black cape. Needless to say she was terrified I knew this Halloween was going to be a little tough with all the scary stuff. After she calmed down she had a good time, she play games and played in the blow ups. She saw her teacher Mrs.Kelly and her gymnastics teacher. She got her face painted and we ate hot dogs and then finally went home to rest up for trick or treating! Gran Jan and Pops came over for a while before they went to Carlees house in Sunnydell, Cherry, Jeanna, Maggie and Jabbo came over too. We had Taco soup and had fun hanging out, Abby loved having everybody at her house. Grammy was dressed up as a Gypsy, and Jeanna was dressed up as a Hippie. We have a great neighborhood and had lots of trick or treaters. My sweet little Tinkerbell!!
