Thanksgiving 2010


Doesn't seem right to post these pictures with Christmas a week away...but I actually took less than 50 photos over the course of the weekend (compared to 300-400). So it was a breeze picking out a few favorites.
Such a pretty table!
Our first Thanksgiving hike!
Wonder what Maggie is thinking..

Christmas Card Extras


We spent an afternoon on USC's campus taking pictures in hopes of catching something worthy to put on our Christmas card. I took almost 200 pictures. We ended up with about 20 keepers....I wanted to share a few of my favorites.

November


Another month is almost over and I have barely posted...So, here's a wrap up of what we were up to the past few weeks.
Lots of silly play time outside...we have had beautiful weather in Columbia.
Carly went to a cheerleading birthday party. Frances was kind enough to share one of her uniforms. She chanted "We've got spirit, yes we do, we've got spirit, how bout you!" the rest of the day...and refused to take off the outfit as well.

Carly still enjoys practicing the monkey bars.
We kept our pumpkins for at least 2 weeks after Halloween. Carly created about 6 designs for the jack-o-lantern. She and Mike settled on this one.
The kindergarten at Carly's school received an award for their sensory garden. Carly was the girl chosen to represent the class...This was her in her Sunday best for the banquet. She said that adults talked through the entire banquet and that she ran out of food while they were talking...she was not impressed.
Maggie loved playing in the piles of leaves.
Celebrating Mike's birthday. The girls picked their finest dress up clothes for the occasion.
The rock wall in our backyard is completely exposed. Grumps and Mike ripped out the barbed wire fence this fall. Hopefully, we can add on to it one day.
This tree in our front yard was so pretty this year.
