Sunday
It was National Collection week for OCC - we collected 1,827 boxes.
Some of our toddlers with their shoeboxes full of goodies.
 
Monday 
It was PePa's 63rd Birthday!
Writing messages on the balloons 
Happy Birthday in Heaven PePa! 
Ella drew a picture 
Caleb had 6 and Ella had 3 for his 63rd Birthday! 
Caleb screamed up to Heaven - "We Miss You"! 
Letting them go and Caleb lost it!

Tuesday 
Ella all dressed and ready for her Thanksgiving Feast at school 
Table decorations - so cute! 
Her class - dressed up like turkeys! 
Her and Lizzie Kate 
My and my little turkey - I am so thankful for her! 
Caleb participated in the Turkey Trot at school.
He did a great job running and "getting fit before getting stuffed". 
Ella went to work with me that afternoon and colored for about an hour! 
We bought a mini van!  Kids are so excited!
 
Wednesday 
And the mini van broke down on Wednesday!
Thankfully we think it was just the battery and Corey and Dad came to my rescue. 
Corey's shop is just about done 
After school and work we loaded up and headed to Jackson to see the Taylors. 
The cousins built a tent.
Jules loves playing with the big kids.
 
Thursday 
We had a low key morning.
Caleb took me on a golf cart ride around the farm. 
Ella ate soybeans and LOVED them.
She said they taste like peanuts. 
Farming with daddy 
The kids at Thanksgiving dinner. 
Caleb lost another tooth on Thanksgiving night. 
We loaded up about 9:00 pm and headed to shop and find some deals. 
The mini van came in handy.
We had it packed full!
When we got back home about 3:30 am on Friday morning, Logan called and said they were headed to the hospital - Meridith's water broke.
 
Friday 
The boys and Susan spent the day with the hospital so we loaded up and headed to eat Mexican for lunch. 
I kept all the kids Friday night.
Fed, bathed and watching a movie.
Rhett finally made his appearance about 9:30 pm that night.
 
Saturday 
We went to the Conway Christmas Parade. 
All the cousins lined up.
Jules sat so still and watched. 
Waiting for the parade 
They stood in the road and waved and waited for the candy. 
Hugging the animals as they came by. 
Ella hid behind me.
Santa came and threw a lot of candy! 
Caleb riding Cole's go cart - now he wants one for Christmas.
 
After lunch we went to meet Rhett, our newest cousin
Family Picture 
Proud Aunts 
MeMa and her 7th grandchild 
Another handsome Taylor boy!
The kids hung out in the dump truck full of soybeans and played with their daddies helped Mason.
We shopped and got home late and the kids had crashed before we got there!
 
Sunday
We headed back home early so we could make it back for church.
 
We have SO much to be thankful for!  Thankful for a wonderful Thanksgiving!
