THANKFUL THANKSGIVING. . .

Really?.... We went from mowing the lawn one day to full on snow storm and freezing weather the next. Pretty sure it's here to stay and we won't see the grass for a very long winter. I took this picture after we got 5 inches of snow! Bye bye roses!

Cute little Sophie all swaddled in her blanket. Check out her little barrett in her hair.

Jocelyn crocheted a stocking hat for Emma. So, so cute and I'm pretty sure she likes it.


Jason and the kids were so excited to play in the snow. We had to go to town to Kings the day of the blizzard to get them snow gear. Boston was so funny! It started to snow and got him in the face and he was like "doin that, doin that and he was so mad. Then after the wind stopped blowing so hard we went out to shovel the driveway and they really helped out. We piled up some snow and built a little slide and then they went down on the sled too. The next day they went to Logan to Mandy's and played in the snow again. They loved it!!!



We watched the Macy's Day Parade on TV and thought of McKelle the whole time since she was actually there! (Kelle we missed you, and look forward to Christmas)
Brody,Jason and Donny ready for some basketball to work off the turkey dinner!!!

Cam and Mandy got us tickets for the Nutcracker in Logan. We had great seats and had a good time. The kids were really good and we are thinking it would be a fun tradition to usher in the christmas season. ( McKelle got to go to the Rockette's Christmas Show at The Radio City Music Hall)





Brandon, Jocelyn, and Emma

Jason and Claudia

Blair, Kim and Sophie

Ada had learned to tell a scary story and the way she tells it is so dang cute. She starts out In the dark, dark, night, in the dark, dark, wood, in the dark, dark, house, in the dark, dark, room, in the dark, dark, chest, in the dark, dark, box, there was a GHOST! and then everyone screams and waves there hands. We did it over and over again. Everyone had to take a turn.

This is where we all scream!!!

Boston's version of the scary story. He talks in a real quiet voice with his hands by his mouth and then yells "GHOST" and screams while waving his hands. It's hilarious!!

Mandy, Tag and Maddie after story time! Shoot, I needed Cam in this picture.

Claudia did a cute activity with the kids. They made a turkey saying what they were thankful for.

Donny and I went shopping and couldn't resist these pj's for the older grandkids. We decided since all of them would be here for thanksgiving it would be a great picture. Then the hunt was on for pj's for the babies. Thanks Mandy for helping us find these cute ones. With different sleeping and eating schedules we couldn't get a picture with all 7 of them so we had to do two.(Sophie decided to join the big kids)

Our 3 little babies! Emma, Parker, and Sophie

My how our new grandbabies are growing! Emma, Parker, and Sophie!


After we got home from visiting Cam and Mandy and their kids and Brody, Joce and Emma there was a knock at our door. We were dying because I had no candy in the house to give if it was trick or treaters. I ran down the stairs and opened the door to see a baby in a car seat on the porch. It took me a minute - and then I realized it was Sophie as Blair and Kim appeared. It was our little bumblebee Sophie! Our kids just love to surprise us and they do a great job of it. Now I can see why Brody was so anxious for us to leave his house and get home. I thought it was because it was getting late.


Tag as a Ninja, Maddie as a way cute witch, who poses beautifully!! Reminds me of her Auntie Kelle. And sweetie Emma as the cutest cow I've ever seen.


Oh yeah! Loved dressing up for work! Although 12 hours with green hair, not so fun!
