Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving at our home turned out to be a full week-long celebration of thanks. We were so excited to have the Grandparents who came from Alabama as well as Uncle John and Aunt Cheronda who came from Texas. There were countless other family members who came from all around.

Christian's 1st Thanksgiving Program

Christian starred as an Indian in his very first school presentation. I'm sure we'll still be hearing the "Turkey Song" long after the last of the leftovers!

Bowling Adventure

We had a great time going on a family trip to the bowling alley with some friends. Everyone had a great time but the kids truly had a blast!








Here's Evan's 1st ever bowl...


Looking good...


One left standing and there she goes...




EVAN BOWLS A STRIKE ON HIS 1ST BOWL!!!

Trips to Zoo and Adventure Science Center

The kids get out for a while for visits to the zoo and to the Adventure Science Center.

Halloween

This year for Halloween we had a lot of fun and festivities. We were blessed to have family and friends to stop by. The kids had a lot of fun with their friends. Trick or Treating was brief (it got cold quickly) but some kind of way we still ended up with several bags of candy.






Shelby and I dressed as Little Red and the Big Bad Wolf (in grandma's clothing)

Kendall was a ballerina


Christian was supposed to be the engine of the train and Evan the caboose but Evan wanted no part of the whole dress-up thing so Christian took over the caboose.

The Great Camp-Out '08

With fall approaching and cooler weather, we came up with the idea of camping out in the yard. What were we thinking?!?


The evening started out great roasting hot dogs and making s'mores. (Anyone notice Kendall's marshmallow is a little too close to the fire?)

OOPS!!


Kendall even found a pet (which later got lost in the house).



Setting up the tent was fun until I discovered the kids actually wanted to sleep in it all night.



So guess who the designated parent was to stay out all night with Kendall and Will. (I just knew once the first dog barked they would want to come in). All I have to say is - thank goodness for air mattresses!
