Snow!!

We got the first snow of the season on Friday night.
The kids couldn't wait to go outside and play when they got up Saturday morning.

My favorite part is warming up afterwards with cookies and hot cocoa.

Last of the Thanksgiving Pictures!

Eli and cousin Keaton chillin' out watchin' some tv.

Me and my sweet cuz, Kari.

Aunt Lauri and cousin Keith

Uncle Kevin and Mike...DORKS!!

Scary...isn't it?
Thanks again Turner's. We had a great time hanging out with you for the holiday. I don't think it would've been the same without some of our family around to share it with us.

More Thanksgiving Pictures!

Thanksgiving Day!

Mike and I decided to stay home and fix our own Thanksgiving Dinner this year. The Turner's came up to spend the day with us! We ate WAY TOO MUCH, watched football, of course, and had a great time hanging out! Thanks for coming up guys!!!

Turkey Coma!!

Had to post this picture of everyone veggin'-out after our big Thanksgiving Feast.

Playtime in PK

Abbey brought her friend, Megan, to Parsons last weekend. On Sunday we went and picked up her friend Rhyder to spend the day with us as well. I think they had a good time together - even though we kept pretty busy!! We miss you Rhy-Rhy!!

Our Week With Sarah

Let the Season Begin!!

Abbey (#24) had her first basketball tournament last weekend. They played some pretty good teams. They gave it their all, but lost every game. One of the teams they played against went to Nationals last year, so I'm sure you can imagine how tough they were.

Turkey in Disguise!

Eli had to do a family project for school. We had to disguise a turkey, so it would survive Thanksgiving Dinner...lol!! It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that he wanted it to be spiderman!!

Stuff Happens!!!

We had to say goodbye to the Malibu last week. I got rearended by a big Ford 4x4 pickup and my little car didn't stand a chance against it. Luckily, I had just dropped the kid off at school, so I was alone in the vehicle. I was only sore for a couple of days, so all is well with us. We found this 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan and decided it was time for a minivan...the car never seemed to have enough room!!

Eli's 50th Day of Kindergarten

The kindergarten classes dressed in 50's garb for the 50th day of school. This picture was in the school newsletter yesterday. Eli is in the back row - 4th from the left. I didn't think he would want to dress up, but he was really into it. He even let me slick his hair back. I love it when the kids let me play dress-up with them...LOL!!!

Poetry

Abbey was proud of this poem she wrote for her English class, so I thought I'd share it with you all.

Eli and Tiger

Eli no longer wants to be Peter Parker/Spiderman when he grows up. Now he wants to be Tiger Woods. He still loves Spiderman, but now he spends the majority of his free time playing golf and watching it on tv. He has to wear "Tiger shirts" (polo shirts) to school almost everyday. Here are a couple of pictures he drew of himself with his new hero.
