Thanksgiving 2012

We are so blessed to be able to come together and have Thanksgiving with our families.  That's the advantages of living close to home!  We always have lunch with Todd's family.  On Thanksgiving it's a tradition that the boys help Grandma get out the yard decorations with their cousins.  It's always fun helping out!   Then they draw names for Christmas and this gets them super excited.  Then later that afternoon it's supper with my family.  Needless to say, we are always stuffed!!

Halloween 2012

This year for Halloween we went to a Halloween Party over at The Fowler's house.  We all had a wonderful time and the boys got to play and go on a hayride.  This year they got to wear their Halloween costumes more than one time.  However, with Carson I never knew from day to day which costume he would be wearing.  Halloween fell on a Wednesday this year so we had parties at school and the kids wore their costumes to school.  After school we always go to Todd's work for them to Trick or Treat and then he will leave and go with us.  This year we went to the annual down town festival in Lavonia and then left there went to church.  Our church had a festival with a hot dog/chili supper and games for the kids.  I think their favorite part was the cake walk.  I used to love to walk for cakes  when I was little.  I guess they haven't had much exposure to them.  Chandler and Carson actually loved walking and winning cakes!  We had a great Halloween.  All kids of my boys have been Captain Jack Sparrow so I can compare each of them!
