My blog is finally working again. So you may want to go through some of the "old Posts" because there were so many that they are listed as such. Sorry they are in random order but hope you like them.

We had family pictures made on Sunday morning.
The kids were so patient while the settings were
changed.

Dance, anyone?

I always give Brady the camera and ask him to take pictures. So after we had the family pictures made, it was his turn. I thought he did a great job. Of course, Kanga and Kendal

were good targets.

Izzy wasn't so easy.

He took this one from across the aisle.

Izzy finally stood still.

One of the last pictures was of the Bristol

racetrack. Imagine that!!!!

We were getting ready to board the Polar Express.
(We loved the Believe on the sign.)


Kendal was fascinated by the caboose sitting beside us
on the tracks.

What's out there, Kanga?

We were crossing a large river and Brady saw a car that

had been involved in an accident.

This girl was one of our servers and Christmas carol leaders.

These are a portion of the decorations we saw on the way to
the North Pole.



Two excited children were anxiously looking out the window.

We sang Christmas carols.

SANTA HAD ARRIVED!!!

Kendal was in awe.

Santa gave them their bells.

Santa came back to have pictures made.

Brady finally agreed to have it done.

She thought Santa was coming.

The Clowns

She wanted a coloring book.

We love to do Mad Libs with Brady and were lucky enought to find

a mad lib book that we hadn't done.

Aren't they precious?

Nine of us rode the Creeper Trail. Kendal and Izzy got to ride in the carrier. Izzy wouldn't look at the camera, but Kendal was ready to go. Isn't she great?!!

Aren't these the cutest kids in the world?

Are we ready to go?

Gray had to play with Brady's remote control car.

Gray and Brady running and riding up the street.

Kendal was Brady's cheering squad while he was riding
his bike. She decided that she was big enough to ride it too.

I dont' know about you, but I think Brittany looks guilty.

Nascar car.

Jenny and I talked the week before Thanksgiving. She said that two things she missed about the Holidays were Mamaw's dressing and Papaw doing his hiding the money trick. So I attempted to do Mamaw's dressing and Dennis and I hid gifts for the small kids and money for the big kids. The adults were not allowed to play. (Because Jenny always cheated when Papaw did and she alwasy got it. Ha Ha) Jenny said that she didn't cheat, but Dennis informed her that Papaw always gave her extra hints - SHE CHEATED. Izzy loved her baby doll - wouldn't let go of it - named it CAT.

The big kids getting their clues.

Brady, Kendal & Izzy with their prizes.

The little girls' surprises were under the tree.

Brady's was in his fort.

Thanksgiving - the whole brood was here!!

Gray and Paige's friend, Dustin.

Paige and Billy - caught them with their mouths full.

What a crew - Peyton moved - thus she's the blurb in red.

This needs no explanation.
