Lake Charles Christmas

This weekend we had Christmas in Lake Charles! The kids got some new toys to play with, and had fun playing outside. Sam's favorite was his leaf blower. His face was priceless! I think Anna's favorite present were her new princess shoes. I can't wait for this weekend when Santa comes!

Market Street Outing

Today after church we went to Market Street to let the kids run around and eat lunch. Since they were all dressed up in their Sunday best we decided to snap a few pictures. They really enjoy running around out there, and the weather was gorgeous!! The decorations were out for Christmas and the kids loved seeing them too. The tree is HUGE!!

Sam's dramatic up shot.

Beautiful girl!

Thanksgiving

These are pretty much the only Thanksgiving pictures we have. We were roasting marshmallows outside in LC. The kids really liked it!

Dewberry Farms

This weekend we went to Dewberry Farms with Aunt Jessie and some friends. We had a lot of fun!

Aunt Jessie and Anna looking at the animals. There was a huge turkey walking around the barn, Anna didn't really care for him much!

Happy kiddos!

Me and Nikki at the bouncy pillows.

The kids bounced on the big pillow. Notice the two lazy bones laid out in the middle letting everyone else do the jumping :)

Anna going down the big slide.

Lily and her Daddy on the slide.

Sam Man sliding on his own.

Luke's turn!

Daddy and Anna feeding the goats. She wouldn't feed them out of her hand (does that surprise you?) so she and Matt put food in the cup and sent it up to the goat at the top of the stairs and he would eat it out of the cup.

Sam feeding the goats out of his hand.

Lily feeding the goats out of her hand.

Pony ride...not too sure about this!

Nope I'm good! Lovin it!

Happy Halloween!

Anna and Sam had a great Halloween! They loved getting candy, and seeing all the costumes. Sam wanted to stop and eat the candy after every house, but other than that it was a good night!

Travel Weekend!

This weekend we went to BR for Avery and Noah's birthday party. We have never made it in for their birthday and I was so excited we had the chance to go.

Anna, Noah, and Avery in the Jump Jump.

Kari, me, Erin outside the Jumpy thing.

Noah and his Super Why cake!

Avery digging in to the smash cake that Erin made for her!

Pizza! Doesn't he have the most beautiful blue eyes?!

Cute little smash cake made by Erin.

On Sunday we headed to Gulfport to see Nana. We were going to a special service to see her get a medal for all her service to the church. We were so proud of her! Here are Anna and Sam playing on the front porch.

Halloween Party

Nikki and I had a Halloween party last week! The kids came over dressed in their costumes and made crafts, played games, and ate pizza. I think they all had a good time!

Putting stickers on the goody bags.

Playing a game.

Lily and Anna.

The hosts of the party: Fireman Sam, Pinkalicious, Strawberry Shortcake, and Batman!

The finale: a Pinata that didn't open up when the kids pulled the ribbons! I had to yank it open, but I'm pretty sure they didn't care. They were happy to see the loot!

Pretty much all the kiddos. Anna was not in the picture, she was done by this time!
