The Thanksgiving holiday has officially come to an end. I can't promise that this post will make sense because I am running on very little sleep! So please forgive me if I ramble! I am going to try to give an overview of the past week.
Last week Peyton had his Thanksgiving party at school. They rotated classrooms and made various Indian crafts. He loved every bit of it. He felt so big! Here he is modeling his Indian headband. Monday I helped his class make turkey's out of oreos, hershey kisses, and candy corn. They turned out so cute! I'll try to post a picture of them soon.
Sunday our church had its Thanksgiving luncheon. What yummy food! I took lots of pictures, but this is one of my favorites!
Tuesday Trevor's class had their Thanksgiving feast. They had so much great food. Everything from pumpkin pie to yams to homemade corn bread to turkey! He had a great time with his friends. Here he is with two of his best friends Isabella and Tyler.
During the busy week of cooking and cleaning I snapped this picture of Princess Morgan putting on her make-up. I don't know what I am going to do with her! She loves that make-up!Wednesday night we had Thanksgiving at our house. My parents and Gene's dad and stepmom came over to celebrate with us. It was our first holiday in which everyone came to our house. I was quite proud of my first attempt at sweet potato casserole! Needless to say, we had great food and great fellowship! Yesterday Gene had to work so the kids and I rode to Hattiesburg with my parents to have dinner with my sister, Aunt Rebecca, and cousin Rachel. We had a great time eating and playing Phase 10. (Which I one by the way!) Then we drove to McComb to spend the night at MawMaw's. Gene drove down after he got off last night. He and I were at Wal-Mart in McComb at 4am! This was my first experience with shopping on Black Friday before daylight. We scored lots of Christmas presents for the kids and saved a ton of money. The big item we were going for, the Barbie Jeep for $88, was already gone when Mom and Melanie got there at 3:30! You couldn't even check out until 5! These people are crazy! oh well, we were only getting it because it was so cheap. Later we ate lunch at MawMaw's with the whole family and played a little wofel ball in the backyard. Even MawMaw got in on the fun!
We are finally back home and sitting down to watch a holiday movie. We can't put up our decorations until Monday because Gene has to work tomorrow and Sunday. I can't wait!

Those are so sweet, esp of Cinderella and her Prince! I bet she has Gene wrapped around that little finger!!
Holidays are so much fun- we are so blessed to have such great families to spend them with.
Black Friday shopping can be addictive even if you are only going for one thing. It is the challenge of getting it before it is gone:)
Awww - precious pics! I can't believe you got up that early! You have WAY more energy than anyone around here!
Busy week! That last pic is so adorable, and Trevor and Peyton look like they had a lot of fun at their celebrations. Now, go and get some rest!
