CT's Choir Special

CT getting ready to sing.

Sunday night CT's choir got to sing before the service. They did a great job!! They sang two songs, but I only recorded one of them. KG loved the song and had CT teach it to her.

This if for the Grandparents. :)

Christmas Parade

This past Thursday night was our Christmas parade. Just in time for the cold weather to set in. The children's ministry at our church had a float and the kids really wanted to be in the parade this year. So I bundled them up and headed out. Daddy was still out of town. BUMMER!
This is Deacon waiting on us to get ready for the parade. This is his new "cheese" smile. :)

Happy kids!

Yeah this is fun!! We had to sit outside for about 30 minutes waiting on the parade to actually get started. Deacon wasn't so into sitting. We had to keep him entertained.

The big float.

Ok could we get to moving now?

CT and his buddy Cayden on the big kid float.

Finally here we go!

OK I've had enough of this. My sister left me, and I'm cold!

KG moved to the big kid float!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Happy Birthday Poppi!!

The same day we celebrated Daddy's birthday, we also had a surprise party for Poppi. This was a big one for him. :) His actual birthday was Dec. 1st. We ended up having to go back to my parents house this weekend, and CT said, "Hey Poppi, your 60 now." My Dad said, "Yeah, I made it." ha!!

He wanted a snuggi so bad. So we granted his request. :) We had Poppi monogrammed on it. It looks rather monkish to me. ha!
Deacon got to know Mr. Mike (Mandy's Dad) pretty well. He followed him around because he kept feeding him. :)
CT took on Mrs. Sheena (Mandy's Mom) in a game of checkers. KG enjoyed hanging out with Mandy most of the time. :)
Happy 60th Birthday Poppi!! We are so thankful for you, and wish you many more Happy Birthdays!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Daddy celebrated his birthday the day after Thanksgiving this year. :) Since we were still at Mimi and Poppi's we had his party there. We had a quick lunch before they dove into the German Chocolate Cake. Luckily I don't like nuts or coconut, so there is absolutely no tempation for me. :)

The labor of love cake!! Ha! T loves this cake, but it is time consuming to make, AND it is LOADED with calories. So I usually just make it for his birthday. I cannot take credit for the recipe. Nee Nee was nice to share. :)

Daddy blowing out the candles. KG got a head start on him and helped him out. :)

Daddy opening presents.

Happy Birthday Daddy!! We love you, and are so thankful for you!

Thanksgiving Week!

This year our Thanksgiving week started out with school plays and picnics. The kids had fun pretending they were eating the first Thanksgiving. The kindergarten classes at CT's school put on a cute little play, and then gathered together for their feast! As soon as CT got home he kept telling me how hungry he was. OH MY WORD!! They just ate a meal right before he got home from school. Seriously! Then the next day Mommy and Daddy got to have a special picnic with KG. She thought that was pretty cool.


On Wednesday we headed over to Arkansas to meet some of Mommy's old friends and play with their kids. Unfortunatly Mommy dropped her camera and broke it, so we do not have any pictures of this event.

We had a great time with Mimi, Poppi, Uncle Chad, and Aunt Mandy. We have SO much to be thankful for this past year!! CT and KG both told me they were thankful for Deacon. :) I am so thankful for a Godly husband who loves his family, thankful for my sweet family, very thankful for our health, and so VERY thankful for a Savior who loves me unconditionally!

CT the Pilgrim.

Getting ready for his part. Each time it came to the Pilgrims they had to say,"Bang, Bang, Bang". It was a cute little poem.

This is KG at her Wee School Thanksgiving picnic. The parents also got to come and be apart. We had Charlie's Chicken and a fun little picnic.

Aunt Mandy hanging out with the kids.

Good ole family time in the backyard.

CT and Uncle Chad hoopin it up. CT had Uncle Chad worn out before it was all over. :)

KG and Deacon had a blast on the slide.

I just want to go out and play with the big kids. Please........................

KG, Cousin Henry, CT, and Deacon. These guys had a great time playing together. When my cousin Allyce told them it was time for Henry to go home, CT exclaimed, "C'mon can't he stay for just a little while longer?"

Pool Party!!

KG's little friend Mia had her birthday party a few weeks ago. I took KG and Deacon. CT didn't go b/c he was still in a cast, plus it was mainly girls. Ewwww!! :) I wasn't sure if Deacon would even get in. He LOVED it!! He had a great time splashing in the water, and even mastered the frog slide. He also was digging the cake. Happy Birthday Mia! Thanks for inviting us!




Mia, Liv, and KG. They were all born Sept., Oct., and Nov. What fun friends. Four years has gone by FAST!
Mr. Deacon was enjoying his cake time. :)

Yep, I liked it!

School Carnival

I am waaaaay behind on blogging, so hopefully I will get caught up in the next couple of days. :) CT had his school carnival 2 weeks ago. He was so pumped about it. Daddy was out of town, so I talked Nee Nee into going and enduring the madness. The kids had a great time, and finally won a cake and a coke after about 15 tries. KG was so disappointed each time she didn't win. I was so glad she finally won one. We spent all of our time at the cake and coke walks. We didn't even make it to the other hall.

KG trying to win her a cake. :) Thank goodness she finally won.

CT and his prized Pepsi. Notice it is fizzy at the top. He dropped it right off. We will not be opening it for awhile. :)
