Birthday Boy Part 2

Look at the concentration here... good to the last drop!

Making his frog "face" was cool!

1, 2, 3....blow them out!

Big Sis helped at every step! We had a blast - Happy Birthday to my special boy!!

Oyster Roast

This was a turkey I made when I was in kindergarten... its hard to believe that tonight we are visiting the school we pray our little girl will attend!

Her "best dream" came true when Granny's doy took a nap in her lap. I can't tell you how many times she has tried to get this to happen! I guess all of the attention all day did him in for a good nap on her lap!!

They love playing on Granny and Granddaddy's big tree and the neighbors cat's visit was bonus!

OK, this is the last Thanksgiving post... I promise! We just have so much to be thankful for! On Saturday, we spent the day with the Jones family. My dad does a less traditional meal the day after Thanksgiving (two days after this year b/c of a Pirate football game!) - an oyster roast. This year he went all out with cooks and shuckers doing all of the work! Both sides of my family were well represented. 3 of my mom's 4 sisters came and my dad's brother and sister came. It was a bit strange to have everyone together when I didn't get put at the kiddie table!!!! It was also strange to hear my cousins admit their age... I always knew I was the youngest but wow they are all over 40!!! I still felt a bit yucky but got a few cute shots of my darlings!

Thanksgiving Day

OK , This was taken today ( at the Museum of Life and Science) but I had to include it with the Thanksgiving photos!!! Here are three pretty cute turkeys!!!! On Thanksgiving Day we took our traditional trip to Hope Mills to spend the day with the Foster side of the family. The children love to play with their big cousins. It was a wonderful day full of food, fun and fellowship! I didn't take too many photos... not sure if it was the relaxing day or the horrible sinus issues I am having!!!

The girls walked the dog and jumped on the trampoline... we learned new tricks!

He got some great soccer pointers... look at the focus and form!!!!!!!

Say Cheese!

Today we went to the mall to get a family photo taken. We haven't done one in awhile and thought a Christmas one would be different than our others. Well the morning didn't go as planned, we took some good shots, got the package with a CD (to make better choices later!) and left!!! However, I did take a few before cute shots before the session began that were cute!

You'll see more soon... in a card or here!

Celebration # 3

Maybe he should add preacher to his list of careers?

She is in the preschool choir at our church. They preformed at the church wide Thanksgiving service Tuesday night. She loves going and has been excited... until Monday when she annouced that she wasn't getting on stage. This wasn't good as grandparents were driving a good distance to she her first performance! After realizing that after performance party was only for the children that sang... she decided to join her friends and did an awesome job!

Celebration # 2

On Tuesday, she had her class Thanksgiving Feast. All of the four year olds got to eat in the fellowship hall. Each class did a little performance first... it was precious!!! She was shy during her class' turn but turn on the charm as the crowd left and we were cleaning up... with her special brother side kick.

The food was super yummy. Yes, she at mac and cheese, bread and a brownie... I said yummy not good for her!

Oh yea, and the cookies too!

Brother did a good job waiting for her to come out and preform! We are almost ready for the real special day!

Thanksgiving Celebration Number One

On Friday, we started our Thanksgiving Celebration a bit early with his class ( and the other 2 year old classes!) feast in the gym of the church. We spread our blankets out and enjoyed yummy food and awesome fellowship! We are so thankful for our church and preschool! Above and below show that the hit of the meal for the children were the cupcakes with way too much icing on top.

Now, who should I chase next... yes the it was a wonderful idea to have this in the gym so the children had room to move around.

We are also thankful for our happy family!
