That's a Wrap on November

                                               
I have lots to catch up on, so I am going to start with Thanksgiving and go backwards.  I love anytime we can all be together. We enjoyed cooking together, a little hunting, lots of eating, making our candy houses, and one amazing ballgame!  We actually celebrated Thanksgiving on Saturday. Lots of memories!  We are entering my favorite time of the year. My halls have been decked, and I am just ready to enjoy the festivities!


My people-

                                  

 Our babies are growing up!










Lillian and Reed were a big help in the kitchen.


Lots of fun getting ready for our meal.  Lots of work goes into a meal that takes such a short time to eat! :)


The big kids helped Pop get the tree decorated for the town tree display.


After we ate, we began the 34th year of my favorite tradition-our candy houses!  There is no way to express how much I look forward to this.  Christmas season doesn't begin until the houses are made.


Another successful year!



Maddie has finished Cross Country for the year, and can finally let her sprained ankle rest. Lindsey had a very successful first coaching experience, and will soon be heading into track and field. Maddie will be playing soccer and track and field.


John Sawyer was sick the week before Thanksgiving, so he got to spend some time with me and Pop. I know it's hard to tell by these pictures, but he actually had strep.  He'd play a while and rest a while. Jack also stayed with us a couple of days.


He did make it to Grandparent's Day.  We enjoyed it so much!
More to Come!

State, Trips and a Little Shopping

This weekend will end Fall sports for us.  Maddie will compete in the state cross country meet.  She has had a nagging ankle injury this season, but still has managed to have a very successful year. Lindsey and Shana have also had an amazing inaugural season coaching.  Both boys and girls teams qualified for State.  So proud of all of them!

Pop and Reed enjoyed the gifted  fieldtrip to Chattanooga this week.  It was such a great experience.






I just had to document the triplets at church this past Sunday.


Sectionals in Andalusia


Such a great group!




Love these girls!


So proud of this sweet girl!


This sweet lady and I actually got to celebrate our birthdays at the meet!  She even brought a special piece of cake for us!



Christmas Village 2023-Once again, we came and we conquered!  Lillian was able to join us this year!  I loved sharing the experience with her. 



Love my babies so much!
