Tree Trimming

Last weekend we went tree shopping and decided that each child should get their own small tree.  That way Santa would have no trouble knowing whose presents go where on Christmas Eve.  As it turns out we found our "family-sized" tree in the storage room, so we now have three trees to help us celebrate!

Game Day Gang

This year we were invited to Rob and Lisa's to watch the Clemson/Carolina game.  Here are Miller and Chase showing their Carolina pride.  (Sorry, Granddaddy.)  Also, please ignore Miller's orange Cheeto face.  He wouldn't let me clean it before the picture.

Giving Peyton a sweet kiss.

Thanksgiving 2012

This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Jacob side of the family at Lisa and Rob's new house.  The kids got to play together for several hours while the adults hung out and everyone got full on spaghetti and pie.

 

 

Lorelai's Thanksgiving shirt.  Doesn't it just speak volumes about her level of self-confidence?!  

My two precious angels.

 Ma and her sweet girls.

When these two get together dress-up is always on the agenda.

Farewell, Alestia

It appears we are not the pet owning type.  We didn't do so well with the fish Lorelai got for her birthday, and now we have had to say "goodbye" to Alestia, as well.  She was given to a good home where she will get lots of love and affection.

Christmas Card Rejects

Here are some of the photos from our Christmas card shoot that didn't make the cut.  Still think they're pretty cute, anyway.

From the Vault...

Last weekend I was able to get my hands on some photographs from days gone by.  Enjoy this walk down Memory Lane.

Scooby-Doo and Lorelai's New "Do"

Miller was given a Scooby-Doo costume a few weeks ago and puts it on every chance he gets.

If the mask starts to interfere with an activity (i.e. eating a Klondike bar), he just flips it out of his way.

 Last night Lorelai had about two inches cut off of her hair.  She looks super grown up now.

Dark-Haired Duo

Last year I found some colored hair spray in the medicine cabinet that I had bought for Miller's first Halloween to be a vampire but was too afraid to use.  (I was too worried it wouldn't wash out.)  I was a little more brave last fall so I gave it a whirl and decided to see what it would have been like to have darker haired children.  Here are the before and after photos.

Miller's New Wheels

On Halloween we went to a Trunk-or-Treat at a local church.  After we left they called Miller's name for one of the raffle prizes.  Check out what he won!!

Outtakes from the Tub

Halloween 2012

For Halloween this year Lorelai dressed up as a girl from the 80's and Miller was Batman.  This first set of pictures shows my attempted photo shoot for our Halloween card.

 Here's the "Material Girl" before heading to Boo in the Zoo for her date with Brennen.

 The happy couple.

On Sunday evening, after the rain graciously stopped, we met Rob, Lisa, Sierra, and Chase at a Halloween carnival for games, rides, and candy.  Everybody had  agreat time!
