Thanksgiving and then some

December is flying by and I missed November.  I don't know where all the times goes but I blink and it is bed time.  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with both sides of our family!  I love having all the kids together.  It is never quiet, always busy, and always enjoyable to watch and hear the kids play.  We are blessed beyond measure with wonderful cousins for Macie and Weston to play with.  I love mine and Zack's siblings/spouses.  I truly believe we have some of the very best parents to look to for example and to thank for being such important parts of our kids' lives. 
 
Some of the pictures are out of order but since I am playing catch up I am just going to leave them.
 

 Oh Christmas Tree
 Mr. Weston is sporting his snowman jammies.
 Hayden came over the other day and within minutes both girls had on Christmas pjs.  They are always planning on when they can have a sleep night.
 I tried multiple times to get a Christmas picture for cards.  It just isn't that easy. 


 We had a picnic by the fire for lunch.  Macie had gathered sticks to put in the fire place but ours has the gas logs.  She was a little disappointed but we enjoyed the fire anyway...with the back door open.  It just isn't that cold so the house heated up quickly.
 Macie's friends came to spend the day with us while their mom recovered from surgery.  We made Christmas trees.  The girls had a great time playing. 
 So this is the AFTER PICTURE.  He doesn't look too sad.  You can't see the blood that has dried on his clothes.  I can't believe this little guy had to make a trip to the emergency room for stitches.  Who knew that a card board box could cause this momma to get so scared and to cause so much blood.  I am very proud of Weston.  He was very brave when getting his stitches even though he cried so hard.
 Early in the day before Weston fell, I thought, "Why get Weston presents  when what he loves is boxes."
 Getting ready for Macie's Christmas concert.
 Macie sang last Thursday at her school.  She did some of the hand motions but was more concerned about looking for us in the audience. 

 For some reason this picture above reminds me of Sheldon, my brother. The mouth maybe..

 We had so much fun putting up the Christmas tree.  Weston is a great helper! However, he does throw the Christmas balls or brings them to us and says,"Ball,"


 Thanksgiving at Nonnie and Pappy's House
 7 Little Monkeys On the Bed
 Since the weather was so nice the kids played outside with the flashlights.  They were having a blast.  Anyway, Josh decided to scare them by making monster noises on the other side of the fence.  It was so hilarious!  The kids screamed but they were pretty brave too!

 We went to the park to play before our yummy lunch.  It just isn't easy trying to get 7 little ones to look the same way.


The next set of pictures is from Thanksgiving with Grammy and Papaw.  We were taking the kids on a walk while Finley and Kylan were still napping and decided to ride the wagon down the grassy hill.  Then the kids rolled down the hill.  It was so much fun!  Macie couldn't stop talking about it.




 The wagon fun...we all rode down at least one time!
 Weston lifts his shirt when you ask where his belly button is and giggles with delight when you tickle him.
 Weston is trying to roll down the hill but hasn't figured out how to make that happen like his sister can.
