Thanksgiving Travels

We had a very happy Thanksgiving with Bryan's family.  First, we visited Nana and Papa in Graham.  Lots of fun, food, and family.

And on the stairs

Nana and Papa relaxing after a great day

We took 2 air mattress for the girls to sleep on, but they chose to share one of them.  They have been sharing a bed for about a week now.  I think it may be uneasiness with the move coming up that is making them want this closeness.  Whatever the reason, it makes for some cute sleeping pictures:

 

After Graham, we headed to Mamaw and Papaw's in Quitaque.  More food, fun and family.  Bryan went hunting with his dad one morning.  They did shoot anything but a few good pictures, but I think they had a good time.

Playing with Berkley and Blake

E & E had a great time with these balloons.  They would
pull on the ends and Blake and/or Berkley would fall down
causing fits of giggles from the girls.

We are so thankful for all our family and friends. God continues to bless us more and more each day.

Playing in the Snow

We had our first snow of any significance the other day.  It was so pretty!  We don't have snow clothes for the girls yet, but we dressed them in the warmest we had and headed out to play.  They had a great time playing with the girls next door.  

Our Snowman- it was about 8 inches tall.

 

Looks like Emma's about to get hit with a snow ball.

Happy Halloween 2010

Pumpkin Painting

Ella's Pumpkin

Emma's Pumpkin

The girls and I have watched the movie 101 Dalmatians almost every day for the last couple of months.  Every morning I hear, "Watch puppies, Momma. Watch puppies."  So, we decided the girls should be dalmatians for Halloween.  Bryan and I decided to dress up also and since we are almost done with potty training, we thought it would only be appropriate for us to go as the tree and the fire hydrant.  Lots of fun (even if we did have to explain it to almost everyone.)

Our church had a fall festival on Friday night.  Complete with bounce house:

And Coloring:

Saturday was a Trunk or Treat at my parent's church.

 The girls LOVED running down the wheelchair ramp.

After the Trunk or Treat, we went to Memaw and Datt's house for a little trick or treating and to check out all the candy we received earlier in the evening.

Ella trying to get into some candy, also.

Halloween was fun, but exhausting.  And, we now have more candy than we can eat.
