Fall fun 2011

 We have had some FUN...

like usual...

Jaylee was the Narrator in her class' Thanksgiving play...

This inspired her to write her own play that we all acted out on Thanksgiving for the Liounises...

You'd think by now I'd know how to write "Liounises", but I'm not sure if this is the right way! 

 Jennibelle had fun (the same day) at the first grade's Thanksgiving Feast...

(Pink, B&W outfit)

Jackson LOVES going to school to see the girls and also LOVEs seeing Cole...

Here is he is giving Cole kisses!!! 

He is technically a crawler, which is weird

b/c both of the girls were too fat to crawl and just learned how to walk!!

But NOT Jackson...

thin, lean and a fighting machine... 

We attempted some home-made family Christmas pix.

This is what we got...

I LOVE the first pic but I am not in it so I felt bad mailing it out... if only!!!

It is one of my favorite pix EVER....

SO, this is the one that got mailed out...

The girls and I decorated a door for their school's Christmas season...

I had a fancy 3D snowman idea but we found these cute stickers and took the easy way out.

It turned out pretty cool though...

We LOVE these Rudolph noses...

well, everyone EXCEPT Jackson loves them!!

And JB decided AGAIN that she wishes she needed glasses.
These are Jason's...

Jackson LOVES to play!

Every time I look at him, lately, I get sooo mad at the Drs that suggested we to abort him...

JERKS!!!! (and that' the nice word I want to say)

He is one really good looking kid....

I am a sucker for blue eyes though:)

Jason, AGAIN, saved our Jeep and saved us from spending thousands at the shop.

Not sure he enjoys working on cars anymore though!!!

The girls were so excited to decorate outside for Christmas that they undid all of my decorations and redid them themselves... They are super proud and happy of them though so it is OK.  It was 70' while they were decorating!!!

What would Fall on a farm with 2 huge 200+ year old trees be without a BIG pile?!?!?

We don't ever want to find out...

Happy End of Fall Y'all!!!

Black Friday

What a disappointment!!!

By the time I got home from work, the girls and I were basically just shopping with some not-so-great deals!!

Next year I will be SURE to request off of work!!!

Jaylee's Student Counnsel Campaign

Jaylee decided to run for the postion of Student Representative of her 3rd grade class for School Counsel this year.

Like everything else she does, she got VERY into it.

We made lots of posters...

This one was NOT approved to be hung...



She also made fake money to hand out...

I'll get a copy of her speach that she wrote by herself.

She did not win, though she truelly believed that she would!

She was pretty bummed, but was just fine the next day!

JB was in tears when she found out Jaylee lost!!!

I'm very proud that she gives all of her little projects her best!!
