Thanksgiving Fun

A few pictures from our busy, fun, and very thankful Thanksgiving. Can't believe tomorrow is December!


Chocolate pie (for breakfast)...it's tradition- handed down from the wise generations.



My little turkeys...



I'm not sure when the posed pictures became so hard...Parker's fake smile is so...ummm fake.


But perhaps better than the crazed smile:)



Hmmm....not much better...but we're together and that's what is important.



 Fun cousin time!






A few pictures from Tinley's adventure to Myrtle Beach with Ganny and Grandaddy.

Starting to get festive

 It's hard to believe that this is the last Thanksgiving performance for Tinley at preschool. I'm going to miss these! 



She has been a pumpkin, a turkey, and now a Pilgrim. Obviously she adds a little flare to the Pilgrim outfit but she did her part well.


Many adoring fans of course.






So thankful for her preschool,her teachers,  her friends she's made, and how they teach her about Jesus. Definitely put us in the Thanksgiving spirit.


And of course we are getting in the mood for the holiday season with some iceskating...or fake iceskating on plastic. Oh well still sets the mood!



Parker was not especially excited that I made him take a picture with Olaf...but since Tinley wasn't there I couldn't miss this opportunity to have my picture. Let it go....

Moving along...

We've been so busy I haven't updated too much...and really haven't taken many good pictures....But things are moving right along and we've managed to be a little productive too!

Ikea is where the adventures of "big sisters" room begins and "little brother's" room ( or space as one might call it) starts to take shape.


We had a special Veteran's Day assembly at our school. It was so nice to see the real heros getting some honor.


We had  our very own Veteran!


During some of our clean out, move around part 1 we found my veil in the hope chest. Tinley wants me to please save it for her...she is sure she will want to use it when she gets married. Hopefully she won't be married in mismatched pjs but you never know.


Baby Braylon's Mickey b-day party.


Never too old to play in a cardboard box.


I'm pretty sure that's Tinley that he's shut into the corner of the box for hiding.


We've seen a couple of good (kid) movies lately. This one Big Hero 6 was not what I thought, but had a sweet story. I really enjoyed seeing Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Love the book and really love this movie. Everyone should see it...and laugh...and think of it on those days when things are not going quite the way we planned.


Operation Christmas child time is here! The kids had so much fun picking out stuff for their shoe boxes.


This year they even wrote a message in their boxes.


Tinley was the helper at school this week so she got to bring Freddy on all her adventures and then she will share them with her class. He enjoyed going to dance class!


Freddy really got the royal treatment along with Alice- the (fake but loved) "American Girl" Doll. Booya and Tinley had a date to check out the new American Girl Store and bistro. I think Tinley was a pretty happy girl, Alice was a happy doll (thankfully they fixed her hair!) and Freddy was a lucky frog. Booya had her hands full!


Freddy ended up the weekend going to Cassie's birthday and visiting church with Booya and Grandaddy. Not sure if Freddy knew what he was getting into with the Bullis family...maybe he will get some down time on his next family adventure

Farewell October...it's been fun!

It was fun for Tinley to start off her week with a book character parade...and gave her another reason to dress up this week. Pinkalicious has always been one of her favorites...pink and crowns and wings-why not?


Here she is with her friend who was Mr. Ripley.


And of course the real thing everyone had been waiting for...time to go trick or treating. 


It's really hard to get  good pictures with empty buckets waiting to be filled. 


We were glad to have a little Stormtrooper and Minnie Mouse to come along with us!


And when you're done getting candy, you can help give it out.


Partying with the 80's rock band and having some s'mores....my favorite treat:)


Grandma and Grandpa came along with us. So fun!


It was nice that Halloween was on a Friday so we could lightsaber battle and play for more hours to come.



Parker took a little road trip to go to some birthday parties and we had some fun jumping around while he was gone (well some of us had to just take pictures;)

Fun for kids and big kids...




Today at church we had some special Homecoming singing...and ringing.


Parker's standard hand in pocket pose...Just get it over with please:)


Tinley's first time singing with the Kids Praise. Just maybe she can carry a tune better than the rest of us in this house.


My boy:) A beautiful...but cold day. Gonna enjoy this extra hour!
