Thanksgiving Week!

 Beau's class had so much fun celebrating Thanksgiving!  Here they are in their Indian vests.

His class went over to Mrs. Baker's preschool class and had a popcorn party with her Pilgrims:)

 

 They all brought food to help feed the less fortunate.

 The first day of Thanksgiving Break Beau had his 4 year old well visit with Dr. Whitaker.  He had to get 5 shots:(  He did SO good.  He didn't even cry AT.ALL.  I  had told him we would get a prize if he did good.  I was thinking Chuck E. Cheese or something, but he walked out to the treasure basket and picked a tattoo and said it was the "perfect prize".  Ok.

 We decided we should at least go to Chick-fil-A:)

 This pic popped up on FB the other day.  It's a baby a helped deliver almost 15 years ago!!!! WOW.  I was a baby back then, too!

 Evan had his Pittbull end of season party at Bowling World.  He had fun!

 His coaches.  He loves football so much!!

 Big news for MAHG!!  They are the architects for the new Ft. Smith High School!!!

Happy Thanksgiving week!!

The Griswalds & The Christmas Tree

 I convinced Travis that we should go ahead and get the lights up on the house in mid-November.  The weather was beautiful and I knew it was only going to get colder.  Evan was psyched.  He LOVES putting lights up.  Blake doesn't really care either way;)

 

So, they got to it.  Travis truly hates to be on top of the house.

Evan, on the other hand, has been dreaming about it for years.  Travis finally let him get up there this year.  He told me it was one of the "best days of his life".  He really loved it!!

 This was another one of those texts from Blake, that doesn't really need an explanation.

 Beau and his turkey cookies he made at school. 

 Since Thanksgiving was so late this year, it seems like the 2 holidays kinda got really mixed this year.  The same day Beau made turkey cookies, we put up our Christmas tree:)  He LOVED decorating this year.

 Well, he loved decorating ONE branch...

 That's a LOT of ornaments on 1 branch.

 Another view...

 Notice that sagging branch in front.  HA!!

 

 These were all the ornaments on Beau's branch!  SO funny!!

 And, the final product.  SO beautiful.  I love to sit on the couch at night and look at the Christmas tree!

More decorations coming soon!

Thanks for Giving Cotillion

 The "Thanks for Giving" Cotillion Event was Nov. 16 at the Student Union.  It was a sit-down dinner event.  This is the event where they teach table manners and etiquette!!! 

 

Both of my boys looked so handsome!!

 

 

Evan and his buddies!

Evan and Blake both dancing!

 

 

This is a favorite because it involves food:)  Evan says the fried Neapolitan ice cream was the best dessert he's ever eaten!!

The B-Day Party!!

 We celebrated Evan and Beau's birthday on the same day with one big family party!

I love these 2 silly boys!!

 They both got lots of great stuff!  Evan finally got a phone!  YAY!!!

 

 Evan also got tickets to a Toby Mac concert.  Super exciting!!

 Beau loved all his puzzles!

Beau's big surprise from Nana and Papa...a John Deere digger!!!! 

This was one happy, happy boy!!!!

It takes a lot of men to put together a digger!!

 Beau and Evan both wanted their own cake...so I made 2!!  Evan had Oreo ice cream cake, and Beau wanted a digger cake!  His cake would have been super cute, except he insisted on putting ALL the diggers on his cake, and covered up the #4:)

Cuties!

 BLOW!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday to Evan & Beau!  We love you both!!!

Happy Birthday Evan & Beau!!

 Hard to believe that it's birthday time again!!  This guy is 4!!!

He had a fun celebration at school!!  He took special iced cookies from the bakery to share with his friends.

 

 Beau wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday (even though he had never been there before).  So, we invited to Hayden to go with us to play one day.  They had a blast!

 Fun on the virtual rollercoaster!!

 Sweet school friends!  Beau, Caden, and Hayden!!

 And this boy is 11!!!!  WOW!  He just looks so big!!  I'm so very proud of the young man he is becoming!

 He wanted to get checked out and go to lunch.  He chose Genos.  Nana came down for the occasion.  Poppy and Travis came also!!

 Beau was being a stinker!!

 Evan and his Poppy!

Happy Birthday to my 2 November babies!!
