Happy Thanksgiving!!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We had a great time as my brother and his family came to visit from Oklahoma. We haven't seen them since last Christmas so we were badly in need of a visit. The kids had so much fun together!

Sophie is 5 now and she and Alex had fun together! I think Alex enjoyed having someone a little older around to play with.














Alex was posing Sophie in different places to take her picture














Gage is 1 now and starting to walk!














.. and Elsie is 3 and fits right in playing with all the other girls!

Elsie and Elisabeth














Here are all the cousins together:

Elsie, Natalie
Sophie, Elisabeth, Anna, Aubrey and Alex
Madison and Gage


























Elisabeth and her Aunt Susie













Uncle Mike and Gage















































Grammy and some of her girls



















Just a cute picture of Natalie













...okay, another one too!













We ate at a pizza place Mom was excited to take us to as it has enormous pizzas- perfect for our size crowd!

















































Pop built a dollhouse for the girls to play with at their house- he made it especially for multiple little girls to play with- it's open on both sides!















Chris and Gage














Attacking Uncle Mike














Anna and Baby Madison- Anna loves babies and can spend long periods of time just being with them. She has such a mothering nature.














Aubrey and Elisabeth dressing up














Black Friday shopping!














I also had an interesting Black Friday shopping experience at 10pm the night before when I tried to get a wii game for Alex at Walmart and had a near death experience- and didn't end up with a single game. I will never do that again! We had a lot of fun shopping us women the next morning, though! We enjoyed our little time without kids :)
Hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving!
Thanks Mike and Susie for braving the trip out! We love you!

Halloween

Finally getting those Halloween pics up!

We had a great time trick or treating in the neighborhood. The girls loved it and couldn't wait to go again!
















My little Dora the Explorer characters:
Natalie is Boots the Monkey, Anna is Dora, Elisabeth is Isa the iguana, and Alex is Diego
Alex was so sweet as when he found out who the girls were going to be he wanted to be Diego- even though Diego is kind of young for him. He knew the girls would love it- and they did!































Alex and his friends Zach and James















Alex had a Thanksgiving program at his school. He was so cute- he had so much fun with it. He loves music and loves his music class at school!






























The girls had fun watching it, too!

Happy Fall! What a beautiful time of year it is- we have been enjoying the outdoors so much.
Here are some pics of what we have been up to lately:

Happy Birthday Daddy!














We finally got a picture of both our girls and their cousins Aubrey and Madison. It is impossible to get a picture of all of them looking, and plus they were playing "peek a boo"




























Grandmama and Grandpapa came for a visit from Texas and that was a lot of fun! We went to the Freeman Springs Farm again this year for a corn maize, hayride, petting zoo and barrel rides.





































































































































































Most days we spend at home- now that the girls are older there seems to be so much more to do at home. They love to play outside and ride scooters and tricycles!

























































Baby was put in time- out















We also just attended some friends' birthday/halloween party. The kids are dressing up as Dora the Explorer characters- Anna is Dora, Natalie is Boots the monkey, and Elisabeth is Isa the Iguana. Alex is going to be Diego for Halloween with them, but for the boy superhero costume party he was a transformer!














































More Halloween pics to come!
