Life Lately - November and Christmas is coming!

Monday
Ella lost ANOTHER tooth - #7 gone for her! 
We celebrated Melanie's birthday with Olive Garden for dinner and Sugar Plum for dessert! 
These cousins were having so much fun playing together! 

Wednesday
It turned cold - warming up with hot chocolate while we worked on HW! 
Mrs. Janice was so sweet to make us an apple cake - one of our favorites - Ella LOVED it! 

Thursday
Buy one, get one free at Starbucks so she got her very own non coffee drink!
Caleb missed out - he was training for his race!

Friday
Kids were out of school so we cleaned up and went shopping!
What she wants for Christmas - more LOLs
We played school 
Caleb took a turn as teacher 
Dinner at Parkers and baby snuggles with the Hutchens! 
Caleb's face was priceless when he came into the bathroom and saw Corey in his spandex
Ella has been telling her class all about Papa, the civil war veteran - ha! 
STRIDE 5 K Race - Corey was Caleb's running buddy
Caleb and his friends ready to run - they have been training two days a week after school for a few months thru the YMCA 
The STRIDE team 
He was so excited! 
Ready to RUN! 
And they were off - Caleb wanted to make sure Corey kept up! 
The little sisters all bundled up - it was COLD! 
Running to the finish line - they finished in 32 minutes.  Caleb was running a little ahead of Corey 
Corey at the finish line! 
Caleb and Grayson with their STRIDE medals 
We talked Daddy into decorating for Christmas! 
This is a record - he usually doesn't want to do it until after Thanksgiving! 
Yay- new tree is up! 
Ella was a trooper helping me decorate while the boys watched the State football game - then Caleb partied with Grayson to celebrate his 9th Birthday
We played with the Browns and Stones - these kids are getting so big! 
Stones and Browns for dinner - pizza for everyone! 
S'mores by the fire! 
Girls stayed with us and Staci took the boys! 
The sweet little one didn't last long - she missed her nap!
Living room full of giggling girls

Sunday

Pancakes and bacon before church

Lunch at Zaxybs with this crazy crew

Audrey came by and took some pictures for our Christmas cards
Just a sneak peak - won't show you the ones we actually picked!

Kids tree decorated in the playroom with Disney and handmade ornaments!

It's November 12th - my Christmas tree is up AND I have ordered my Christmas cards - this NEVER happens but it feels good to not be behind!  Now I better start shopping!
