Thanksgiving 2009

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year for our parents and grandparents. We had a great time visiting with family and of course eating yummy food! Sarah Beth's cousin Addisyn came too and as you can see in pictures they had a blast together. They love to play "dress up" when they get together and this time they decided to be "rock stars"! After everyone left...mom, Kori and I headed down south to Gulfport to do a little Black Friday shopping. We had fun and the crowds weren't too bad. I got lots of shopping accomplished! On Saturday we headed back north to shop in Hattiesburg...I love Hattiesburg and it makes me miss College. Syd and the girls drove down to meet us. We drove around campus and showed SB around...she loved it. Maybe she will be a Golden Eagle one day!

Sarah Beth's school had their Thanksgiving Feast today! Syd and I were invited to lunch and then our "little Indian" showed us around the playground at everything they had made. She told us all about The "First Thanksgiving" and how the Indians and Pilgrims became friends. She was so excited that daddy and mama got to visit her at school. Her Indian name was "Full Moon". She made a totem pole, a fish painting, headband, necklace, cute t-shirt and several other adorable projects. Our house is now decorated for Thanksgiving dinner!

Reader's Choice!

Thanks Vicksburg for voting "ME" as Favorite Teacher! This is the very cute ad that my school put in the newspaper congratulating me for being chosen! I feel so honored!

Super Saturday!

We had a fun relaxing Saturday! I spend the morning cleaning the house (Ugh! Why can't I hire a maid??!) while Syd entertained the girls. Sophie had her very 1st coloring experience. She liked eating the crayons more than she liked coloring. She was cute sitting up at the table like a big girl! Sarah Beth is becoming such a good colorer. She is really trying to stay in the lines. She is trying to write her name too. She can write an 'S', 'A', 'H' and 'T'. I know T is not in her name but she is so proud that she can make a T! Later that afternoon we went to Cousin Wil's birthday party. He had a carnival themed party. VERY CUTE! The kids enjoyed "Go Fish", "Bean Bag Toss", "Face Painting" and some other fun games. We had a great day!

The Big 33

Well...on the 7th of November I celebrated my 33rd Birthday! Wow! On Saturday night, Syd took me to dinner at Anchuca. It was yummy...we both at the Shrimp Creole...very tasty! The next day, mom made Sunday lunch (my party)! Nannie made me a Red Velvet birthday cake and it was delicious! Of course, SB had to help blow out the candles. I had a great birthday!!!

Bedding for Brandon

We rode to Brookhaven a week ago to help Kori pick out bedding for Brandon Larson. I think she made some excellent choices and it is going to look great in Baby Babb's room. Sophie and Sarah Beth enjoyed helping Aunt Ko-Ko too. Sophie especially liked playing in the "minky dot" fabric room! She loves that soft material!

Halloween Fun

The girls had a great Halloween. We went to The Wooten's for a trick or treat hayride. The weather was perfect...just a little chilly. Sarah Beth dressed as Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) and Sophie was a pumpkin. Sophie didn't like her costume very much but she enjoyed the hayride. Afterwards we all enjoyed hotdogs and the kids had a great time playing! I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
