Elf Antics

Besides bringing germs from the North Pole each night, our elf, Fleeble Flabble, has been up to his usual antics.

He's Seven!!!

Yes...you read correctly. My sweet Auburn headed baby is now officially seven years old! Omigosh, where did the time go?

I love these early morning shots, before comb meets hair!



This year, we did the easiest party ever! We had it come to our house!
Behold the Game Truck! (Imagine angel voices singing)



This puppy pulled up to our house and wa-lah, instant party.


There were four t.v.s and just about any game you could want to play. And look, we even had girls at the party.

The adults were so jealous. I wish we could have afforded another hour, just for us to play guitar hero.
Wylie chose a Star Wars theme for his birthday, so I got a cake from Publix. I really would have rather gotten cookies from Hollie, but planning a birthday party right smack dab in the middle of Christmas hub bub is hard to do.

Happy Birthday my sweet boy!

Turkey Day

We had a great Turkey day this year. Although it was a strange 79 degrees outside, it made for a perfect day because it was sunny so the kids could play outside with their cousins. My kids love getting to spend time with their 8 cousins, and to me that is something truly precious. I couldn't imagine any holiday without that.


We are such a large group that we take up three tables! I thought I would show the pictures of the tables because my mom did such a lovely job decorating.


After we had stuffed ourselves, we sent the turkey police out after illegal nappers.

Yep, you guessed it he is headed off to Pop's room.


That's not really my parent's room he is headed toward. Besides, Pop was napping on the couch...silly!

It was a really busy week, but despite all of the preparations, the kids got to spend some quality time with their grandparents.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and special Thanksgiving!
