Anniston's Preschool Christmas Program!

Last night was Anniston's preschool Christmas. Anniston and her classmates were Elves.

Anniston is third from the left with the polka-dot pants on. At the end, she turned into a reindeer and pulled Santa's sleigh!

Nanny and cousin Kinley were there to watch Anniston!

Sweet cousins.

Mommy and Dadoo with the kids.....I think this is the first family snapshot in over a year....seriously!

Anniston, you were such a great elf tonight! You sang all of your songs and did all of the motions so well! We love you so much Pink Panther!!

He's Back!!!

Elfie came to see us at the end of Thanksgiving weekend! This is the third year we've had Elfie, and he is so much fun to have around!! The kids have a blast "hunting" for him in the mornings, and Anniston is DEVASTATED if we tell her that Elfie is going to tell Santa naughty things (like she didn't use manners, she talked ugly to Treyson, etc). Treyson doesn't quite understand the whole naughty/nice/Santa concept yet. However, he doesn't touch Elfie! And we've even found Elfie within "touching" range....he might turn into a rule follower after all!! HA!
~
Anniston is telling Treyson at this exact moment that "we do not touch Elfie, or he will lose his magic". She's such a little Mommy!

Up-close shot of Elfie! Here are the Christmas jammies Elfie left for the kids!

Reading "elf on the Shelf" book....always fun to read and remember the concept of Elfie!

Posing with Elfie!

SDC (with Nanny and PawPaw R)

We headed to Branson the third weekend in November for some shopping and going to Silver Dollar City with Nanny and PawPaw R. Mark, Tracey, Kinley, Will, and Baby Boke III (in Aunt Tracey's belly) were even able to come!

Here's Tracey riding "Hoppy Frogs" with Will and Treyson! Anniston and Kinley on the butterfly ride.

Nanny and PawPaw,

Thank you so much for taking us to Branson! We had so much fun with everybody. We love you so much!

Silver Dollar City fun!

We headed to SDC in mid-November to celebrate PaPa's (Amy's dads) birthday. Here is Anniston and Dadoo riding the swings. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, and the park was not crowded at all! PaPa waved to Treyson each time he went around. Treyson thought it was hilarious!

Anniston, MaMa, and Treyson on the roller coaster. Treyson wasn't sure about it!!

Anniston and the Birthday Boy!

MaMa riding "Hoppy Frogs" with T-man!

Jerry and I took Anniston on the Powder Keg. She was so excited to try it. She wasn't sure what to think of it, but ended up LOVING it. She was BEGGING us to ride it again.

(FYI...this is the roller coaster that goes from zero to 60 mph in 3 seconds!!) I'm in the third car back, and Jerry and Anniston are behind me!

Waiting to ride the train!
Cheese!!!

Sweet, happy boy!

Standing in front of the Christmas tree before we headed out for the evening!

PaPa,

We hope you had a great birthday! We had so much fun taking you and MaMa to Silver Dollar City. We can't wait to go with you again!!

October 31 (catch-up post!!)

Trick-or-treating at cousin meredith's new house!Mike, Robin, and kids. They had made chili with all of the fixin's for adults, and had the cutest Jack-o-lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's for the kids. Delicious as always!

Dadoo with kids outside of our church. We had so much fun at the Halloween Carnival! The kids won lots of prizes at the games they played!

Treyson Goes To The Dentist!!

Treyson had his first dentist appointment this morning! He was so excited to get to go. He sat by himself and did everything Mrs. Tarah told him to do. I was SO proud of him!

Here he is getting his napkin on!

Mrs. Tarah (and her little assistant) polished Treyson's teeth with Blue Raspberry polish...yummy!

Time to rinse!

Flossing those sugar bugs out from in between the teeth!

Painting on his flouride varnish!

One last time for Mr. Thirsty!!

Dr. W says this little boy has great looking teeth! No cavity bugs, and his arch looks great too!

Way to go Treyson! We are so proud of you!!
