Thanksgiving Day 2008

This Thanksgiving we gave thanks for our wonderful family. Here are a few pictures from our day. Oliver, Santa(Papa), and a screaming Emerson.

Me, my sister Jamie, and her baby bump, itty bitty Madden.
Me and Emerson post Santa freak out.

Oliver playing outside on his tractor.

And my handsome, Oliver.

Meet my friends Caden and Hudson. Their mommy and daddy brought them to my house for a playdate and we got to play dress up. I am Sportacus, of course! Hudson was Ben 10 in action.

Caden was a Ninja and......

brother thought we were all really cool.

Did someone say "Dinosaurs"?

My brother isn't the only one who loves dinosaurs.

Floor Puzzle

You may not have known, but I LOVE dinosaurs. My Gigi bought this for me for my birthday. Mommy and I had such a good time putting it together.

Here's the finished product! Lots and lots of cool dinosaurs. The T-Rex is my favorite.

So proud!

Brushing Teeth

Brusha, brusha!

Hanging out with Lola

Here's Lola, my sweet puppy. I love her so much. She loves to hang out with me on my bed. Sometimes she lays on top of me when I'm trying to sleep and I have to get Daddy to come and get her. What I love most about Lola is her really soft ears. She's the best!

Face painting....among other things

We had such a great time hanging out with our family. We celebrated Papa Dean and cousin Naomi's birthdays with some face paint. Naomi got a pretty new dress. Here's Papa Dean and cousin Evelyn looking on. Aunt Grace and Uncle Barry are always up for fun times w/us kids. Uncle Barry decided to join in and paint his face too.

Here's Naomi, the birthday girl, looking like Raggedy Ann.

We love spending time with our cousins. They live in Knoxville so we don't get to see them as much as we'd like, but we always have fun when we are at Gigi and Papa Dean's house.

Some painted their faces and others..........

Halloween 2008

Here's Oliver as a smiling Sportacus. Ready for Trick or Treating. Emerson or Superman as we like to call him, decided he was hungry before we left for trick or treating and took a bite out of the pumpkin. Yummy!

Here's Daddy-Bob the Builder with a bundled up Sportacus.

And finally, here's the whole family before heading out. Thanks to Papa Dean and Gigi we all got to go trick or treating together. Papa Dean stayed home and passed out the candy.
