Sitting with Santa at our church

C was SOOO excited to tell Santa his wishlist.

Snow Day!

The first week of December, we got snow! It wasn't a lot but it was fun to play in.

Auburn vs. Alabama: Game Day!

Thanksgiving

M, C, and Z on Thanksgiving Day

Papa with the grandkids discussing the story of Thanksgiving
Unfortunately, Mimi was in the hospital on T'day so we took her a BIG plate of food and gave her lots of hugs and kisses.
Afterwards, we went to see Daddy's Granny. She is making a silly face b/c Daddy said something funny and inappropriate!!
Z, M, and C (with a hospital glove balloon) around the flag pole at the nursing home.

Z loses her 1st two teeth (in Nov.)

See those 2 baby teeth on the bottom almost touching?
See those 2 new teeth growing in and pushing those baby teeth out?

See a messy face with missing baby teeth?

See goodies she got from the dentist after she had the 2 stubborn and stuck baby teeth pulled?

See the golden streamers the tooth fairy left on the floor along with a golden dollar and 50 cent piece.

Disney on Ice

Toy Story
Me and M being silly taking a picture of ourselves.

M, Z, and C. They were each allowed to bring one dress up item. M chose a crown. Z chose Cinderella gloves, and C chose the Incredibles mask.

Mickey, Minnie, and all of the characters coming out to say goodbye.

All of the characters lined up again to say goodbye.

Trunk or Treat at church

The kids dressed as their favorite Disney characters and I took them to the mall to receive FREE Disney on Ice tickets. All 3 of them got tickets and I received a $10 off coupon
For Trunk or Treat at our church, C dressed as a wizard, Z was a girly pirate, and M was a good/bad witch!!

Ben was a tourist and here he is posing with another church member.

Carving pumpkins

We picked a beautiful fall day to go outside and carve their pumpkins. They were in a lovey-dovey mood so I took advantage and snapped some great photos.
Precious!!!

Z with the gooey inside

C was proud of his "goo" or "brains as he called it.

M wasn't quite so sure.

Pumpkin Patch

Their kindergarten class went to the Pumpkin Patch in mid-October and had so much fun!

They had an inflatable park for the kids to play in and they spent most of their time on the giant inflatable slide.

I made the mistake of telling the kids that they could pick WHATEVER pumpkin they liked. Yep! You guessed it! They all picked out HUGE and heavy pumpkins and guess who got stuck dragging them to the car?? Besides that, we enjoyed a nice fall day with friends!

Belated Birthday Pictures

The kids had never been to Chuck E. Cheese and we made a promise with them that if they read 100 books over the summer, we would take them on the day of their 6th birthday. Well, you guessed it. They read 100 books and then some! They were very excited to have worked so hard and then to be rewarded by all of the fun in Chuck E. Cheese.
My attempt at getting one good group shop of the day of their birthday. They were too tired and a little upset that we were about to leave Chuck E. Cheese.

Cashing in their tickets was excited but the gift choices weren't so exciting. I had more pictures to post from Chuck E. Cheese but every time I tried to upload them there was an error so I gave up after 5 attempts.

Waiting at home for their BIG birthday surprise.

They had been begging for Wii Fit and they finally got it!!

Happy Birthday my sweet 6 year olds!!!!!
