Thanksgiving Week!

We had a big week! Granny & Pepaw (possible name change to "Gramps') came to visit us for the week. Gramps meeting Eva for the first time...

Sunday afternoon we went over to the ice-skating rink during the public skate to let the girls give it a try. The last time we were there almost 2 years ago - Madilynn didn't care for it and just wanted Daddy to carry her - so that was Elizabeth this time!

Not wanting her picture taken


ready to take off!

this was about as far as Elizabeth got, then Daddy carried her

Madilynn used what they called a walker and did really well! I think if I got out there I'd need the walker - ha!!

still havin' fun! Madilynn lasted the entire hour and a half - she loved it!

Tuesday morning we did a little finger painting!



they loved it and made several paintings!



Michael and I got out for a little date on Tuesday night and went to see the movie Courageous. It was good, but I don't know if I've ever cried so much through a movie at the theatre.

Wednesday was Granny's birthday! She spent the day with the big girls at the fun park and then to lunch. We all went to dinner together and then had cupcakes at home!

The table all set for our Thanksgiving meal

our spread...a lot to be thankful for!

So after eating way too much at lunch, and getting a little rest/naptime we went to do some roller skating! Again this is about as far as Elizabeth got and then the skates came off and she enjoyed just running around us while we skated we were the only ones there skating!


Eva was just hanging out...

Granny & Daddy being silly!

All of us (that were skating)

Madilynn really started to get the hang of it right about the time we were ready to go.

Mommy & Eva

sweet baby sleeping...

Saturday we decided to get the Christmas decor out and put up our tree. Daddy got it all together and fluffed out...

Eva hung out and watched us

Then the big girls and I got to work decorating it!

I didn't have a good finished tree picture, they were all blury, so we'll have to get one of those soon! Well, today is Monday and we're all feeling it, but ready to get back into our routines! Thank you God for our time together, and thank you for our many blessings!


Give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
