So many kids!!

We went to the Syners to hang out tonight. Our friends the Suttons were there too. Between our 3 families we have 11 kids!! I tried to get them all in 1 picture, but Caleb is missing. :(

Making Ornaments

I decided to have my GA girls make salt dough ornaments in our class this week. Andrew and Matthew somehow sneaked out of RAs and joined us!! I had to bring the ornaments home to bake and will take them back next week for the girls to paint. I don't want Andrew and Matthew skipping RAs again, so we decorated the ones we made tonight.

2 School Projects

Caleb has 2 school projects due tomorrow, so we finished them up tonight. The big one was a group project, the group did it together, Caleb and I just cut out the words and put it on the board. The smaller one was a really neat project. Caleb has to read a book every 9 weeks, the report for it this time was to fill a box with 35 items from the book. It really made him pay attention to detail while he read. It was fun finding stuff around the house that represented different things AND was small enough to fit in the box.

Christmas Card

I'm so proud of myself!! I ordered the Christmas cards today!!! The last few years I have waiting till the last minute to get our picture done and cards ordered. I feel ahead of the game! My friend, Lisa, took the picture for us. We are in front of their barn. :)

New TV!!!

We finally decided to join the 21st century and got a flat screen tv on Black Friday. Don't laugh... we still had a huge tube television! We got a good deal on this one and it's a Smart TV. We hooked it up tonight, I'm looking forward to learning how "smart" it really is. :)

Putting Up the Tree

We store all our Christmas decorations at Jeremy's office and he brings them home a few boxes at a time. Today, he brought home the tree... no lights and no ornaments. We didn't have anything on our schedule so we decided to put it up and add the lights and ornaments later. Everyone pitched in... even little Ethan. :)

Jeremy and Papaw

We left my mom's this morning and drove straight the Mt. Juliet to celebrate Thanksgiving with Jeremy's side of the family. Papaw and Betty even came! We don't get to see them as often as we would like so I knew my picture today had to be of Jeremy and his Papaw. :)
