Thanksgiving on the Farm

 

This year we spent Thanksgiving in Clopton, on the farm. This year was especially fun because the cousins are getting older and all of them had sooo much fun playing together. They climbed trees, met some cows, went on a hay ride, roasted marshmallows, and had a blast. This is one of my favorite family get togethers. I can't wait for the kids to grow up loving this as much as we adults do. I just wish we saw them all more often!

 Ready for a hay ride!

 Maybe next time Reynolds can participate in some of the fun.

Trike-A-Thon

Today Lucy's school had their Trike-A-Thon. Everyone brought their trikes and the teachers had made a little track for the kids to ride on. It was so cute to see the kids ride their bikes together. Plus, they got donuts.

 Brother was loving watching all of the kids ride around. He wanted to be out there so bad!

Thanksgiving Meal at School

I didn't take any pictures at the actual school meal, but I attempted to get some before we left. Lucy took a few and then she was done. The Thanksgiving feast was great, as usual, and we loved meeting Lu's friends. They always do a great job. Gobble.

 

Picnicking Siblings

We sold our kitchen table so we have had to do a little picnicking. They have been so cute sitting next to each other. I hope they always love each other this much. It makes my heart swell with joy when I see them loving on each other and sharing. It is the best!

 

 How cute are these two?!

Kliebert's Alligator and Reptile Farm

This weekend we went to Kiebert's Alligator Farm. Since we move a little bit, we try to do outings every now and then. It's fun to see the area that we live in. Kliebert's is featured on the History Channel. It's call "Swamp People." They raise a lot of different reptiles for food and for show. We saw some pretty huge gators, and I mean HUGE! It was a lot of fun and we will definitely go back. Lousisiana has so much to see and I hope we can get to some other fun sites.

Opening Presents

RWS was a lucky boy this birthday. He got lots of wonderful gifts from friends and family. Lots of trucks, tractors, and things that go vrrrooom. Boys are so much fun. He loves his new tractor from Momma M and Grandaddy. When he saw it he said his famous "ooohhhhh"! Thank you all so much for making it such a special day for our little guy.

Happy Birthday Reynolds!! It is soooo hard to believe that this baby boy is one whole year old. Where did time go. He took his first steps on his birthday. Now he is going to be off to the races. I don't know what we did before this sweet child. He loves his sister and his Daddy. He is a cuddler and loves to climb. His favorite toy is a ball and gets really excited when he sees one. Reynolds is such a joy and can't wait to see what he does with his life. We love you little man.

 Such a big boy!
