From So. Cal. to Snow to give Thanks





Lacey and the girls came the Monday before Thanksgiving to have some cousin time. It was non-stop action and lots of fun. All the kids sitting at once, take a picture it doesn't happen often













Craft Time...
Thanksgiving Day at my parents house on the farm. My cousin Lindsay brought all the supplies to make a felt wreath ornament. I will have to take a picture of mine and post it really cute!
(Aunt Karla, Mom, Char Char((Hadens soon to be wife)), Haden and me...Where Lindsay the craft organizer is I do not know)












Lacey reading to Hailey the Turkey and Tessa



















My Aunt Karla and Lindsay made these cute light up corns with tissue paper and an old plastic water bottle, to Cute!
















Lacey is hooked on puzzles so we went and bought one. The whole time she was like this puzzle is going to be to easy, the pieces are to big. It was not easy at all. but we conquered it! Funny story... Thanksgiving night Toys R Us started their black Friday sale at 10pm. Lacey was like lets go check it out. I was being a party poop er but she got me out of the house. As we are driving to the store there is this line of people going over the freeway over pass, down the back of the stores, around the side of Toys R Us and up the front, police cars were present making sure not to many people entered the store at once. CRAZY, we were laughing, go check it out if you want to wait in line for 3 hours just to get into the store. never shopped black friday and probably never will.

Tessa loves the big bear. She is so cute and a little cuddle bug
















Bri and Tammy braved the snowy roads and came and made cookies with us. Lacey and I made 4 different kinds of cookies so Bri, Tammy and Brooklyn frosted them for us.

One of our Longest and dearest childhood friends Destiny had us over to play. Their mom Tina found this horse, we had one just like it as kids, Brooklyn is in love with it!








Our moms made us take a picture every year just like this when we were little and big. There was 7 of them and 4 of us. They would line us up oldest to youngest; so while we couldn't manage oldest to youngest at least we got a picture minus Trent. Brooklyn (2yrs 4mths),Tessa (1 yr 3 mths)Hailey (2yrs 3mths), Isabel (1month), Sofia(2yrs, 1mth)







Hailey loves babies. Hailey and Isabel

I am coaching basketball at Rogers High School with Bri, Amy, and Jessie. Amy put together a version of The Amazing Race for the Varsity girls; one stop of the race was at my house. They had to put together a tutu, hair clip, and decorate a shirt for Brooklyn to wear to the games. The team who arrived 2nd at my house left first. And the 3rd place team(3 teams total) at my house finished 1st!!! Brooklyn loved helping me get ready for "The Girls" to come over. Once they left she had a little fun in the puff paints.

Working hard and fast to get their next clue!
