{hmmm...}

Just wonder what she is thinking.

Kind of scares me a bit.

   

{visit with Liz}

Every year since we have moved to North Carolina we have been so fortunate that my best friend Liz from Texas- God's Country, has been able to come out and visit.  

She usually has come twice a year- spring and fall. 

She has been here right after Sophie was born and a couple of times with her hubby. 

 Most times she has planned them around my Cameron Day shows but this time her baby got married then so she came out around Halloween- beginning of November.  It is always a great time but is usually so short and believe me I cry every time we take her back to the airport.  

We are always so busy and forget to take pictures- well and she and I hate having our pictures taken- haha

But I got this one before we left to take her to the airport..

   

 gosh I miss her terribly

{lights at Dale's Nursery}

After meeting Santa for the first time we walked around and enjoyed the lights.

  

  

Then of course it was time to get cookies and hot chocolate.

And it wouldn't be a good time if we didn't give mom a stupid photo.

  

 

 Happy holidays to your crazy family too.

{kids and santa}

Up until this year we have no photos of the youngest two with any holiday characters. 

Why?  

They have always been terrified of costumed people- 

be it Monkey Joes or Chuckie Cheese - they don't like them.

We went to look at the lights at the local nursery and Santa was there.  

Just like every other year, I asked," do you want to go see Santa? " .  

But to my surprise, Sophie said - " I'll try". 
   

 So proud of them.  I just wonder what crazy things they asked for. 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

May your day be filled with family and food. 

May you be blessed with happiness.

happy thanksgiving from us to you.

A girl and some tags.

My daughter and I are really into crafting together.  She wants to sell things and we are trying things I think she can excel at and will sell.

This afternoon, after homework we moved onto a new project.

I have seen the clay tags all over the blog universe and thought that is something we could do together.  She also added to her pile a few ornaments for the tree later on.

Here she is busy at work:

 

She is so concentrated when working.

Then I got to making some also:

And I'll leave you with a close up:

They are now drying so I will show them after their final phase when completed.

Happy Veteran's Day Daddy

From two of the best little military brats out there to their daddy.
