We got our tree and visited with Santa today!!

Some excited and anxious kids to get to the tree farm!

Even Kylah got to come this time!

The search for the perfect tree is on....who will find it?!?

Does everyone approve of this one?

Cute picture huh??? See the next picture....lol

These pictures aren't always easy to capture...hahaha! For some reason the boys just decided to put their arms up or look painfully bored with my pictures...:-D

We found it!! She's loaded up, let's get her home to decorate!

Before we get full on decorating the house we decided we should get our pictures with Santa today too....

First they wrote their letters again!

Noah even wrote his own this year!

Haley wrote Brody's for him ;-)

Letters are mailed!

Drove some cars!

Shot some guns :-D

Shot some bow and arrows too but no pictures since I was helping.

Looked at some fish....

Picture time!!!!

Noah telling Santa what he wants for Christmas!

Haley and Brody's turn!

Brody did great!! No tears or anything! Wasn't scared a bit!

Noah said he forgot to smile ;-) That's ok no one was screaming! And it was 4 hours past Brody's name time and we had to kill 2 hours in the store while Santa was feeding his reindeer. 

Back home to go decorate so Goo Goose can return! 

Thanksgiving Festivities and Christmas Season is here!!!

Christmas movie season has started! First up was The Grinch! Second was Elf! Two of my all time favorites and the kids actually picked them :-D 

Brody was cracking up through the first half of the movie and narrating it for us, so funny! 

Thanksgiving play and lunch at Noahs school! Haleys was the pie tasting that she had to miss while she was sick but Papa made up for (my previous post).

Thanksgiving with their cousins!!! What a great few days all these kiddos had together at Mimi and Grandpas house! They were in constant play mode for about 5 days solid! You would never have known Brody was only 1.5yrs old playing with all the big kids. 

Ring around the Rosie (Rudolph) while singing "Rudolph the red nose reindeer"! These kids were feeling the spirit of Christmas!

Watching the Macy's day parade Thanksgiving morning while the adults cooked in the kitchen. We also had some small chefs that helped out occasionally too ;-)

Making cheesecake with Mimi!

Let's eat!!!

After some serious Black Friday shopping starting at 3:30am we finished up just in time to rush over for Peyton's 3rd Birthday party!!! The kids all had such a great time celebrating with her! 

Happy Birthday to our littlest cheerleader!

To top off our Black Friday we ended the day with a visit to the lake and a beautiful boat ride! 

Congrats to our 4th grade football team...Lanier Bowl Champs!!

Our final football game and our team took the championship title for 4th grade! What a fun experience! 

A little "D" "fence" cheer :-D

The girls hasn't practiced their cheerleading routine in 2 weeks yet they performed it like they hadn't skipped a beat! Now that's talent!!!

Here's two more pictures I just got from before Cheerbowl!

Huddle up...last talk before we drive to the football field to perform! 

Happy 5th Birthday Noah!

My oh my where would our lives be with out this super smart, very analytic, sweet and caring boy! He challenges us more than anyone and keeps us on our toes yet he will the be first to run back inside for his kiss and hug goodbye from me! I love how he still asks for me to snuggle with him in his bed and asks me all types of questions from his own observance. One of those nights included Noah and I praying together asking Jesus into his heart! Such an amazing young man he is becoming and wow what a great big brother Noah is! 

Noahs first b day celebration was. Party at school! Naturally he did NOT like the kids all singing to him. He has a little of his uncle and great uncles in him with that ;-)

The very next day was Noah and Haleys b day party celebration at Get Air trampoline place! So fun!! Unfortunately Brody woke up Friday morning with hand, foot and mouth disease so he  wasn't able to attend. Thankfully he had just as good of a time at home with Kaitlyn!! 

Noah woke up the next morning with birthday balloons covering his room! But ha if you know Noah and how he feels about these germ things he did NOT want Brody touching them and getting hand foot and mouth on his balloons. Noah probably asked us every 3 min for at least 2-3 days if he had red dots on his face because he touched a chair that Brody "may" have touched...lol. I of course would tell him no you didn't have any red spots and then he'd say "Now Momma, tell me the truth!" Lol that's our Noah!! Sadly the morning of Noahs b day Haley woke up with a VERY sore neck, headache and a fever :-O. Aunt Sheryl, Uncle Ryan and Peyton surprised all the kids that morning and dropped them each a cake pop off at the house! Noah saved his for his b day dinner! 

Noah was adamant he wanted his whole family to go out to dinner for his bday dinner so with two sick kids we still made it to dinner and just made sure we sat in the corner and wiped their seats down really good when we were leaving. Later that night ended up at the children's urgent care with Haleys temp at 107.2!! She was on fire!! It ended up being one nasty virus with high fevers and headaches for 3 full days and then poof it was gone! Thank goodness too that thing was brutal! Thankfully Haleys body tolerated the fever well and she had no seizures from it! Haley was so bummed she had to miss school for 3 days and one of those was pajama day and pie tasting day :-( Papa took care of that though and we had our own pj and pie tasting day!

Later Noah and Clayton wanted in on it too!

Haley had to miss one last "fun" cheerleading practice but the girls sent her their love and get well soon wishes with this picture! Sooo sweet!!!!!

Even with all of the craziness that weekend had in store for us Noah still ended up having a great birthday and they both loved their birthday party!! Even while Haley was running a fever on the 3rd day she couldn't stand not getting to play with her brothers so she was the announcer for their races! That's what it's all about! I absolutely LOVE all my sweet babies and how much they genuinely care about their siblings, family and friends. HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY NOAH!!!
