These are for you Aunt Jen!!!

Your boy got his uniform and tried it on for us!!! He doesn't like his hat but I think it looks ok! Apparently, when you have on this uniform, you are absolutely NOT allowed to smile...little booger.

THANKSGIVING

We had a great Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for!! The night before Thanksgiving the little girls had a sleepover at our house. They had a great time and didn't get out of bed ALL NIGHT! Here they are being goofballs.

Sam and Big Al were the first ones up. THey looked so cute with their "bedhead". I just had to take a picture. Aren't they adorable?
We watched some of the Macy's Parade and then headed over to Gramma's. When we got there, there was a mean game of Wahoo in progress.

Randy and Troy (Troy looks like he's just done something bad, he probably had)

Loyal Packer Fans...the Pack made our Thanksgiving even better (we're not going to mention the game against Dallas since then....UGH!)

Aunt Amy and Chels

Chels always stay the night at Gramma's the night before Thanksgiving to help her get everything ready...here are the two cooks!

Perfection!

I thought my gravy stunk...but everyone else said it was good. They were probably just being nice since it was Thanksgiving and all.

The Carver

Bumpa just likes to give orders....too bad nobody listens.

Everybody helped to clean up. Justin came up from Valdosta. I'm so glad he came!

Clean up, clean up!

Bumpa giving orders again...he NEVER cleans up. He just walks around with Saran Wrap in his hand! Booger.

Randy and Justin
Chels and Justin. These two had lots of fun over the weekend. On Friday they had "cousins day" which involved shopping, eating, bowling, and more eating. They both had a fun day together.

We rounded out the night with 3 games of Pictionary. Us girls kicked butt in that game! Then me, Gramma, Amy and Troy played Wahoo until 2am. We let Gramma and Troy win those games right Ames? I love my family!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Big Al! My niece Allison had her 5th bday last weekend. We all drove to FLorida Friday night and the party was on Saturday. She had a gymnastics party and the girls had a great time. I can't believe our littlest girlie is 5 years old! Here's Allison and her cake. Troy made the cake as usual. This one caved a little on the way to the party but still tasted YUMMY!

The girls eating pizza at the party

Sam and Anne

Thanks a lot Amy! All of the parents were thrilled that Amy put recorders in the kids gift bags. Too bad we left Sam's recorder somewhere in Amy's house and couldn't bring it home with us. Amy, don't you dare find it!!!

Allison opening presents back at the house. She got lots of High School Musical stuff which she LOVED. Right before we left on Sunday the girls put on a High School Musical 2 show and sang us a bunch of songs. They did an awesome job and we cracked up watching them! They are headed to Hollywood.

JAMIE!!! It's your lucky day...you made it to my blog! Randy's Aunt Maxine and his cousin Jamie came for a visit a couple weeks ago. We are SO glad they came. We had a great time together. We went to the Aquarium on Friday and had a yummy lunch at The Cheesecake Factory on Saturday. We hope they come back soon!

Jamie and Aunt Max at the Aquarium. We got to watch them feed the whale sharks. That was pretty cool. Those things can eat!

Of course Jamie had to pick the loudest game in history to play with Sam...Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

Randy and Aunt Max

Jamie made the mistake of telling Randy she'd only had a sign waiting for her at the airport once. That was all he needed to hear. This is how Randy and Sam met them at the airport. Everyone around them couldn't wait to see what the "idiots" looked like!
The idiots sign got lots of use that weekend.

We really wore it out.

and out, and out.

My mom's bday was that same weekend. So, my Mom, Dad, Aunt Jen and Uncle Gary (they were down for Will's graduation), and Will came over Saturday night. We celebrated my Mom, Dad and Uncle Gary's Bday and Will's graduation that night.

Will and Chels

The birthday boys and girl

Uncle Gary loves the big frosting flowers on cakes...so I found the biggest flower I could on his their cake. Half the cake was a flower and yes, he ate this whole piece.

He emptied the plate and then about 2am...he puked it all back up!!! I don't think he'll be wolfin' down the frosting flowers anymore. Happy Birthday Uncle Gary!

HE DID IT! HE DID IT!

It's official...Will's a cop. He'll be working the county we live in, Henry County. Everyone is proud of him...especially his mom and dad.

The ceremony was very nice...not boring. You know how some of those things can be! Here he is with his landlords, Gramma and Bumpa.
We had a get together for him. Here is Officer Will with his cake.

One more shot with Mom and Dad.

Our Trip To Wisconsin

The girls and I went up to Wisconsin last weekend. It snowed the last day we were there. It was only for a few minutes but Sam was catching every flake she could catch! We had a great time but it went by WAY too quick!

Chels, GG and Sam
Me, GG and Sam

Saturday we went up to Madison to see Lissa and Luke's house. Poor Lissa had to work so we took her some lunch (yummy Culver's) and spent her lunch break with her.

Chels and Jess

Then we were off to the zoo. It was a great zoo and it was all free!

Chels, Sam and the Polar Bear

Sam rode on Luke's shoulder through most of the zoo.

Posin' on a rock.

Then we went down to State Street, Steve and Barry's, hit Starbucks to warm up and then headed to the Capitol.

Aunt Jen, Jess, GG and Me

Luke, Aunt Jen, Chels, Me, Jess and SamSunday, we went to Katie and Brian's house to hang with the Crass side of the family and watch the Packer game (of course they won). We had a great time seeing everyone! Sam got a hold of my camera and started taking pics her her and everyone. Here's her and Katie.
