Thanksgiving

A little visiting was done and a few games were played.
A few naps were taken.
Just a little glimpse of our Thanksgiving day.


A few pictures were drawn.
And the Black Friday ad's were checked out.                                                   
















I didn't get the camera out until late so I didn't get to many pictures.  As always we had way too much food.

 We all know what Thanksgiving is all about because we learned those lessons every year at school, starting in Kindergarten.  Remember the Pilgrims and Indians and being thankful food and freedom.  I really don't know how much things have changed today.  We're still very thankful for all the blessings we've received.  We're thankful for our freedom and the soldiers that bought and paid for it.  We're thankful that we live in a country where we are free to worship our Lord without the fear of persecution.  We're thankful for our family far and near.  We're thankful for the roof over our head and the food we have to eat. 

It's fun to watch the little cousins play just like we used to do at Grandma's.  Those are days we will never forget.  That is another thing I am very thankful for.  That I got to know my cousins.  We had fun and made good memories.

Halloween 2011

Well Halloween was kind of interesting this year.  About 2 weeks before Halloween the grand kids were at the house and we were sitting at the table eating lunch.  Clayton announces he knows what he wants to dress up as.  He then whispers it to grandpa Joe.  Grandpa giggles and then Clayton (the little angel/monster) says "It can be quite TERRIFYING"  I found out later that he was going to dress up as, now get this (Grandma Kak).  I really don't understand the terrifying part!!!!!! hahahaha  So with that Kristyn thought she would dress up as Grandpa Joe.  She said she needed a pillow for her belly.  I thought that was really funny. hehehehe

Sarah was at it again making costumes.  She is styling hers.  A gnome on a mushroom and I am modeling Brad's a gnome riding a snail.  Brad had to work.  What a mother won't do for their children.

This is the only picture I have of Braden's costume.  Sarah made him a Blue M&M.  He was really cute.
